Pulaski board approves event permits, donates dog pen and adopts Casimir Pulaski Day resolution
Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting, the Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved permits for two upcoming community events, donated a dog pen to the Giles County Animal Shelter and adopted a resolution designating Oct. 11 as Casimir Pulaski Day.
The Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Feb. 11 approved permits for two community events, accepted the donation of a dog pen for the Giles County Animal Shelter and passed a resolution designating Oct. 11 as Casimir Pulaski Day.
The board voted to approve a parade permit for the Giles County Chamber event planned for June 13–14, and a permit for a grand‑opening event for the Giles County Maker’s Market on March 1. The board also voted to accept an old dog pen the city had retained and to donate it to the Giles County Animal Shelter. Finally, the board adopted a resolution asking city officials to advance recognition of Casimir Pulaski Day (Oct. 11) and to forward the resolution to the city’s state representatives for consideration at the state level.
The parade permit for the chamber event was moved and seconded during the meeting and approved by roll call. The roll call recorded the following votes as “Aye”: Massey; Miles; Worsham; Keith; Gentry; Brian; Brendler. The minutes and committee reports for the prior meeting were also approved earlier in the meeting by voice vote.
On the maker’s market permit, a city official explained the event would be a grand‑opening with food trucks and vendor stalls in the south parking lot at the square; the board approved that permit during the meeting.
A speaker identified the dog pen as equipment leftover from an earlier municipal animal control program and moved that the city donate it to the Giles County Animal Shelter. The motion carried on a vote recorded as “Aye.”
A resolution to designate Oct. 11 as Casimir Pulaski Day was introduced with historical research credited to Alan Scoggins and Cochran Pruitt, who worked with UT Southern. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote with board members recorded as voting “Aye.” The resolution will be forwarded to the city’s state representative and state senator for consideration at the state level.
Meeting minutes show the motions and approvals were routine and unanimous where roll calls were recorded. No board member registered a “No” vote on the recorded items.
The board scheduled other items for future discussion at a work session, including a short‑term rental ordinance and several code‑enforcement matters.
