President COUNCIL CIL~MBER- March 4, 1996 Council met in regular session on this date with the following members present: Ms. Daugherty, Rev. Edwards, Ms. Slaughter, Mr. Toscano, Mr. Vandever. PUBLIC Mr. Stanley Johnson, 1060 Holmes Avenue, thanked Rev. Edwards and Mr. Toscano for their kind responses to his recent concerns about annual trash stickers. Mr. Johnson said that during the week of the major snow storm his trash was not picked up, and he was told by City officials that even though he has an annual trash sticker, he would have to purchase an individual trash sticker rather than being able to put out two cans the next week. Mr. Johnson said this is an unfair situation for people who purchase the annual stickers. Mr. O'Connell replied the City will need to try to be more flexible in the future in these situations. Ms. Klm Berry, 720 Yorkshire Road, said she feels there are times when national situations should be addressed on the local level, and cited the recent torching of black churches in the south. Ms. Berry asked that Council endorse a city and county-wide fund raising campaign to help. Mr. Henry Silva said that the Southern Christian Leadership Conference will be collecting donations for the black church fund of Alabama and Mississippi. Mr. Toscano asked Ms. Berry to leave information for Council's consideration, and agreed that racism and violence will not be tolerated. Mr. Toscano announced that the rezoning of Dice Street was removed from the agenda.
