The first organizational meeting chaired by Arthur Brown (contact: 353-3039), took place at the Central Motor Bank Saturday morning. A reporter from Columbia's public radio station was there as were a number of interested individuals, Donuts donated from Heavenly Donuts gave us energy.
My count: 27 concerned citizens. For a Saturday meeting beginning at 9:30 AM, this was a very nice turnout.
We read the ordinance, discussed aspects of the garbage can ordinance, and decided the path we should take to get the city to create modifications.
Two important steps were taken: We gave out group a name--Citizen Action Committee to Amend Ordinance # 14486--and we created a steering committee of seven members.
For a first meeting, everything ran smoothly, the group of concerned citizens arer more than willing to go the extra step, and I wil post the minutes from the meeting the second I receive them.
