NEW BUSINESS Councilmember Spencer presented a resolution to the City Clerk for reading which had not been distributed to the City Council prior to the meeting. The resolution read as follows: We as the City Council representing the citizens of the City of Jefferson recognize the significance of the historical date of October 7th, 1864 as a day that lives were spared due to General Sterling Price’s decision not to attack the City of Jefferson in the American Civil War. This resolution in no way shall be construed as being sympathetic to the cause of the Confederacy. This date shall serve as a day of remembrance and reflection. The City of Jefferson must continue to look forward, but there are times when we must look back to see where we have been and how far we have come as a community. This is a part of our history that is forever linked to our Count ry’s and should be remembered and revered for what it is, a celebration of life and a community spared from the ravages of war. During discussion between City Councilmembers and Staff, City Attorney Ryan Moehlman indicated the Sunshine Law requires a resolution to be voted on, must be brought before City Council at least twenty-four hours before the City Council meeting. Therefore, at this time, City Council could not vote on the resolution itself, but could vote on whether the resolution would be brought forth at the next City Council meeting for discussion and possible vote.
