Columbia City Council 3 Oct 2016: meeting report
Click on headline for complete story By Ed Waggener After the call to order of the regular meeting of the Columbia City Council, special guest Jakob Beckley was introduced by Councilmember Linda Waggener at whose invitation he came to lead the meeting in the Pledge of Allegiance. Students of all ages are welcomed by the City Council to attend and lead the pre-meeting Pledge. He is the Freshman Class President at Lindsey Wilson College. He is from Henry County, KY where he was involved in local community activities, serving on many festival committees and his town's economic development council. In addition to Class President, Jakob is also a Bonner Scholar, a program unique to Lindsey Wilson College which gives students a scholarship in return for over 300 hours of community service each year. Last year the Bonner Scholars had a combined amount of over 30,000 community service hours. Jakob volunteers at the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce with Executive Director Sue Stivers. Citizens Comments Barbara Armitage, manager of Farmers Market 2, appeared to say thank you to the Council for supporting their Square Meals program to feed students. She said it had surpassed every goal they set. They hit their thousand meal mark in mid-June which they had projected for the whole year. They will have served over 2,400 meals at seasons end. She said it has been "far more than putting food in hungry tummies. It's about education as well as feeding. The kids are learning to make and eat vegetables. We tried to try something new each week and they are invited to give immediate feedback. We are seeing more families together." She said they will take a break until the first of the year when fundraising begins again. 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 110.42. Craig Dean read the Ordinance to extend and enlarge the corporate lands of the City of Columbia, KY. No vote was needed on first reading.
