On to business. We don’t have much on tonight’s agenda and none of it is controversial. We have an appropriation for bond proceeds, the Comprehensive Services act program is funded and appointments to boards & commissions. The city sells a small vacant lot. Other items for first reading. We’re done with regular business. Yeah, that quick.<\/p>\n

Around the horn time. Clarke Whitfield congratulates GW on their successful football season. James Buckner concurs and talks about natural gas possibly being used for city vehicles. The school board is considering this for school buses. Larry Campbell recognizes a student group from Tunstall high school, and mentions the In God We Trust motto. John Gilstrap congratulates the GWHS ACE team. Lee Vogler mentions the new historical portrait in the entrance to Council chambers. The Christmas Parade is on for Saturday, December 13th.<\/p>\n
