The Florissant City Council received an award for the\u00a0city from the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce at the council meeting Monday night. Chamber President Carolyn Marty and Chairman Jon Vogt spoke at the meeting. Vogt mentioned in his presentation that the chamber of commerce highlights one city within their eight-city coverage to recognize and promote in their monthly newsletter.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the commerce along with myself would like to thank the Mayor and the city of Florissant for your continued support of our commerce, we greatly appreciate\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 it,\u201d Vogt said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to say thank you for helping support our\u00a0various business fairs and we look forward to sustaining a long relationship with the Mayor and the city of Florissant,\u201d Vogt said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award is just to show the city of Florissant how\u00a0much we truly appreciate the support and gratitude you all have continued to show for our commerce, we really are grateful and appreciative of your support,\u201d Marty said.<\/p>\n

The meeting continued with the council second and third\u00a0reading of bills that would fund additional overtime for the police department. The council passed a bill approving a $99,200 transfer from the general revenue fund, to be use to help fund additional overtime for the Police Department. The bill covers expenses until the end of the fiscal year on Nov. 30, and also covers some expenses incurred helping with events in Ferguson.<\/p>\n

There were a total of eight bills up for first reading, with\u00a0two in particular causing some controversy among a resident and the council. Resident Don Weitemiertook exception to the council reading, discussing and approving two more bills for funding the golf course. The council passed a bill to authorize a transfer of $16,000 to help cover anticipated shortfalls in wages for the golf course. The other golf course bill passed authorizes a total of $7,000 to provide funding for the balance of the fiscal year for the golf course. Weitemier took exception to these bills being passed, and expressed his anger at more money being spent on the local golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am shocked and appalled that you all are spending even more money to fund this golf course, records show that your council has already spent $746,000 this year alone on funding this Golf Course,\u201d Weitemiersaid.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are hindering cash and I as a citizen think it is outrageous and ridiculous that this council would even think about passing another bill for this Golf Course, other citizen might not care but I do, and this needs to stop now!\u201d Weitemiersaid.<\/p>\n

The council proceeded and\u00a0continued to discuss several other first reading of bills, all of which received unanimous approval from council members. The council passed a bill to authorize a transfer of $18,600 to help cover emergency repairs to the senior center. A bill authorizing a transfer of $1,500 to cover the cost of Charter connectivity for the balance Fiscal Year was also unanimously approved and passed.<\/p>\n

Members of the council\u00a0concluded the meeting by thanking everyone that came out for the Fall Festival in Florissant; they said that it was a very successful event. Mayor Thomas Schneider mentioned upcoming events in the city, with the Race to the Shrine 5k run\/walk on Saturday Oct. 25 being the biggest and most anticipated upcoming event.<\/p>\n
