REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 20, 2016
The Board of Commissioners of the City of Dothan, Alabama, met in regular
session in the Commission Chambers of the Roy Driggers Municipal Building at
10:00 a.m., Tuesday, September 20, 2016 with the following members present:
Mayor Mike Schmitz, Associate Commissioners Kevin Dorsey, Amos M.
Newsome, Jr., Albert Kirkland, John Ferguson, Beth Kenward, and David
Crutchfield. Also present were City Manager Michael West, City Clerk Tammy
Danner, Assistant City Clerk Wendy Shiver who recorded the Minutes of the
Meeting, and the local news media representatives.
Mayor Schmitz called the meeting to order. Pastor Jerome Lister, St. Walden
Missionary Baptist Church, then led in prayer, afterwhich Commissioner Newsome
led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Commissioner Kirkland moved that the Minutes of the Meeting of September 6,
2016, be approved, motion seconded by Commissioner Kenward and unanimously
approved.
Mayor Schmitz acknowledged Public Works Director Jerry Corbin, who recently
returned to work and is recovering from injury, as being present today and he
officially welcomed him back.
Mayor Schmitz presented and read a proclamation, proclaiming September 26,
2016 as “Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children.” Susan Trawick,
Dothan-Houston County Substance Abuse Partnership (DHCSAP), and Kimberley
Guiler, DHCSAP Youth Council Member and Northview High School Junior, were
present for the proclamation.
Commissioner Dorsey thanked all the department heads and Administration staff
for providing their assistance to him with citizen calls, and he commended them for
a job well done.
Commissioner Kirkland said the couple who passed away in a recent house fire
was long-time friends of his, and he requested Fire Battalion Chief Chris
Etheredge to talk about the efforts of the Dothan Fire Department (DFD) to
promote and install smoke detectors. Commissioner Kirkland added that his
youngest son had a house fire approximately twelve years ago and a smoke
detector saved his life. Fire Battalion Chief Etheredge said the DFD has operated
a free smoke detector program for the past eighteen years and this program is
completely supported by citizen donations and grant dollars. He explained that the
chances of surviving a home fire are 200 percent greater if you have a working
smoke detector in the sleeping areas of your home. He said smoke detectors truly
do save lives and our fire chief’s goal is to make sure there is a working smoke
detector in every home in Dothan. He encouraged residents to call 615-FIRE to
have the DFD come out and install a smoke detector.
Commissioner Ferguson reminded everyone that he will be having a community
forum tonight from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Ridgecrest Baptist Church on the
second floor in the Family Life Center. He invited everyone to attend.
Commissioner Kenward said churches from across our community gathered in a
celebration at the Dothan Civic Center last Wednesday and it was an incredible
experience to see people of different faiths and races and socioeconomic
backgrounds come together. She said she has never had 3,100 people pray for
her simultaneously and that was a very humbling experience. She said this is part
of what makes Dothan so special and she thanked everyone who attended for
being a part of this event. She said she hopes this is the first of many to come.
Commissioner Crutchfield reiterated Commissioner Dorsey’s sentiments regarding
assistance received from the department heads and Administration staff. He said

he appreciates their help and response so that we can get answers to the citizens
who are asking us questions.
Mayor Schmitz called up Police Chief Steve Parrish to give an update on the
Dothan Police Foundation. Chief Parrish requested Foundation Board Chairman
Bob Woodall to join him at the podium. Chief Parrish stated that the Foundation’s
bylaws have been made available, and he thanked the Commission for their
support. He advised that he and Mr. Woodall would like to come before the
Commission approximately every October to provide an update on the
Foundation’s activities. Mr. Woodall said the Foundation has held their first
meeting and hit the ground running. He said they are designing a new website and
developing a brochure for distribution. He said he previously introduced board
members Carmen Adams, Susan Anderson, Stanley Davis, Mark Dunning, Mark
Saliba, and Wayne Palmer at the August 16th City Commission meeting, and at
that time, there were two spots remaining. He said it is now his pleasure to
introduce additional board members Janasky Fleming and Kristopher Doss. Mr.
Woodall said the Foundation’s Board is now complete and the Foundation offers
an opportunity for the community to invest in itself by donating to the nonprofit
organization. He said the Foundation is committed to helping the community
through the Community First Initiative, the Police Education and Training Program,
and the Pro-Life Animal Services Program. He said the Board is looking forward to
the completion of the community survey partnership between the City, the Dothan
Cultural Relations Group, and Troy University, and it is the Board’s hope to
contribute to the community’s needs once those needs are identified.
Mayor Schmitz provided an update on Steve Hardwick’s efforts to bring the Angel
of Hope statue to Dothan. He said the Commission has been very involved in this
endeavor, a great location for the statue has been found, and Mr. Hardwick is
within a week of raising the money. Mayor Schmitz said local contractor and
businessman Ricky Saliba is helping with the foundation, and City Manager West
advised that Assistant Public Works Director Charles Metzger will meet Mr. Saliba
on site to coordinate the placement.
Mayor Schmitz thanked everyone involved for their assistance in painting the City
Gold for the month of September. He said this effort is to bring awareness to the
fact that only four percent of all funding goes to childhood cancer research.
Mayor Schmitz requested everyone to keep Robert Crowder, Executive Director of
Southern Alabama Regional Council on Aging (SARCOA) and past Houston
County Commission Chairman, in their prayers as he is going through some very
serious health issues.
Mayor Schmitz announced that Glasstream Powerboats is adding another fifty
jobs and doing an expansion right now. He said we are proud of this expansion
and grateful for these jobs, and he expressed appreciation for the community’s
participation in the recent job fair.
City Manager West, along with Police Chief Steve Parrish, presented a service
award to Captain Stacy Robinson for twenty-five years of service with the City.
City Manager West, along with Chief Parrish and Captain Robinson, recognized
Mr. James E. Johnson for ten years of service as a Police Department Volunteer.
City Manager West invited Senior Civil Engineer Ernie Stokes to provide an
update on the landfill and permitting process. Mr. Stokes said the City will resubmit
all permit modification information to Alabama Department of Environmental
Management in a few weeks, a public hearing will follow, and this will start the
process to move forward with the expansion. City Manager West explained that
the entire property was resurveyed to ensure that all adjoining property owners
were identified and this is why the process is taking a little longer than anticipated.
