Grandview recognizes fire-safety poster winners, undefeated Panthers soccer team and yard-of-the-month recipients
Summary
At its Nov. 11 meeting the Grandview Board of Aldermen presented awards to fire-safety poster contest winners, recognized the Panthers youth soccer team for an undefeated season and announced ward-by-ward yard-of-the-month winners; the chair opened public comment at 7:20 p.m.
The Grandview Board of Aldermen used part of its Nov. 11 meeting to recognize community achievements and open the public-comment period.
Fire Marshal Mark Walker told the board he runs a poster contest for fourth graders across Grandview School District; "This year's theme was about lithium ion batteries," Walker said, and first- and second-place winners were invited to lead the pledge, received T-shirts and first-place students rode to school in a fire truck. Walker called winners by name and the group posed for photographs.
Chair introduced Coach Williams and praised his work coaching youth sports. Coach Williams, introduced by the chair, said the Panthers finished an undefeated season and recorded back-to-back championships: "We dominated all the South Metro teams…we beat the breaks off all of them," he said while naming several players acknowledged that evening.
The board also announced yard-of-the-month winners by ward — the Jackson family (Ward 1), the White family (Ward 2) and the Daffer family (Ward 3) — and said prize packages and Grandview memorabilia would be distributed to winners.
Chair opened the public-comment period at exactly 7:20 p.m., explaining each speaker had three minutes and instructing speakers to sign in with city clerk Melissa Pate after speaking. No substantive public-policy exchanges on the Gateway monument sign were recorded in the public-comment segment in the transcript.
The meeting then moved on to consent items and ordinance business.
