GOOD EVENING.[I. Call Meeting to Order]
EVERYONE.TIME IS 5:33 PM IS TUESDAY, JULY 18TH, AND I'M GONNA CALL THIS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
TO ORDER WITH THE CITY SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL MITCHELL.
[II. Citizen Comment Period with City Council]
COMMENTS.MR. COOK OR WHOEVER WANTS TO COME FORWARD THERE, HERE, DISTINGUISHED COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US COME IN HERE AND TALK TO YOU, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA DO A DOG TELETHON.
NOW THAT SOUNDS KIND OF FUNNY, BUT, UH, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT WORK.
THIS TELETHON IS TO HELP DISABLED VETERANS WITH SERVICE DOGS.
THESE SERVICE DOGS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
THEIR TRAINING AND EVERYTHING COST UPWARDS OF ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO $70,000.
OUR PORTION OF THIS, AND THEY, WHAT THIS COMPANY HAS ASKED US TO DO IS RAISE $3,500 PER DOG FOR THE LOGISTICS OF THE OWNER FLYING OUT TO MEET THE DOG, STAYING WITH THE DOG, LEARNING ABOUT HIM, TRAINING EVERYTHING ELSE, AND ACCLIMATING HIMSELF AND THE DOG TO EACH OTHER.
COMRADE COOK AND I WENT UP TO THE STATE CONVENTION AND SAW A GRADUATION WHERE THERE WERE HALF A DOZEN OR MORE DOGS IN A SMALLER ROOM THAN THIS.
AND NOT ONE BARK, NOT ONE WHIMPER, NOT ANYTHING.
AND FOLKS, IF YOU COULD SEE THE FACE ON THESE VETERANS THAT DESPERATELY NEED THESE DOGS WHEN THEY ARE HANDED THE LEASH, IT WAS MOVING.
AND SO POST, UH, 1 12 0 5 8 HERE IN KYLE IS TRYING TO SPEARHEAD THIS THING.
THE STATE COMMANDER'S INTERESTED IN HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THIS, AND WE MAY JUST BE LAUNCHING SOMETHING HERE THAT GOES STATEWIDE.
UH, IT WILL BE THE 18TH OF AUGUST FROM EIGHT O'CLOCK TO FOUR O'CLOCK.
AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT ONE OF YOU WOULD, UH, WRITE A PROCLAMATION IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND THAT ALL OF YOU WOULD COME DOWN PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE DAY AND TALK, AND JUST LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS AND, UH, OFFER YOUR SUPPORT.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, WE CAN'T TAKE QUESTIONS DURING CITIZEN COMMENTS, BUT THANK YOU.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO COME FORWARD? ALL RIGHT, SEEING NONE, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND CLOSE CITIZEN COMMENTS.
