7. Discussion, consideration and possible action to re-appoint Kevin Williams to the Planning Commission with term expiring December 1, 2017.
-- Approved, all voted yes except Commissioner Garrett who raised an objection that he had not been consulted prior to the meeting as the city web site showed Williams represented his (Garrett's) ward. The city web site was in error as the planning commission members just need to be city residents and are not bound by ward boundaries.

8. Discussion, consideration and possible action to re-appoint Kathy Franklin Bradley to the Planning Commission with term expiring December 1, 2017. -- Approved, with Garrett voting no and the rest voting in favor of the re-appointment.

9. Discussion, consideration and possible action to re-appoint Herb Weaver to the Board of Adjustment with term expiring December 1, 2017. -- Approved

10. Discussion, consideration and possible action to re-appoint Connie Goad to the Board of Adjustment with term expiring December 1, 2017. -- Approved

11. Discussion, consideration and possible action to install audio system between 10th and 12th Streets with cost not to exceed $23,309. -- Approved, the two block project was anticipated in the Phase I streetscape construction and extra conduit was installed then. This approval is for the labor and equipment to install and operate the "background" music and announcement system with the sound coming from speakers on the Main Street light poles and two in the plaza area. Individual speakers will be able to be adjusted for volume. Apparently the Phase II streetscape did not install extra conduit so that expansion (if pursued later) would likely be more expensive. The sound system would be housed at the Chamber/CDI office adjacent to the plaza at 12th and Main. Phil Stowell indicated there could be some city cost savings if the city electrical crew could be freed up to install the wiring to the poles. That cost is now part of the $23K proposed by "Audio Matrix" who provided the low bid.

12. City Manager’s Report. -- Phil Stowell reported than Pam Polk was out ill

13. Adjournment. -- Mayor Bud York noted the passing of former Mayor Don Tucker last week. (I found his wife's 2004 obit but not one for him yet) -- Ted 12/2/2014
Donel Gene Tucker <-- Mowery Funeral Home Obit
