The Council President, Clay
Yarborough, made brief remarks wishing the Committee well in its work in the
coming Council year.
The Acting Committee Chair,
Council Member Lori Boyer, announced that she was going to allow two speakers
who wanted to make public comments to have time at the outset of the meeting.
The Reverend Dr. Joseph
Roberts, Bethel Temple AG Church, implored the Committee to work for
improvements to Collins Road. The pastor described the hazardous conditions of
the existing road because it needs to be widened; traffic lights are also
needed. Council Member Jim Love advised
the pastor that improvements to Collins Road are on the way and cited specific
provisions in the recently enacted extension of the local option gas tax that
will fund road improvement projects County-wide.
Allison Good remarked that
she opposed Ordinance 2014-380 because the general public has no involvement in
the process.
