JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Mayor's Report: Mayor Potter stated an insurance claim had been submitted for approximately $8,000.00 for roof damage at the old police building on John T. Reid Parkway. It was reported the insurance company will pay $6,800.00 for the damage claim. The Mayor mentioned Emergency Power Generator needs: 1) Police Department, 911 has emergency generator to power the 911 center, the police department does not have an emergency generator. 2) Street Department; 3) The Mayor stated the Fire Stations had emergency power generators, however The Clemons Road -Veterans Drive Station #3 does not have emergency power. I was at the station during the recent storm as were other citizens. When power went out at approximately 4PM on the 27th it was obvious the Fire Station does not have emergency power.
