Mayor Schmitz called the meeting to order. Pastor Lyle Peluso, Dothan Vineyard
Church, then led in prayer, afterwhich Commissioner Ferguson led in the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag. Mayor Schmitz said since this is his last meeting it is
appropriate that Pastor Lyle Peluso is here today because he has had such a big
impact on his son’s life.

and September 10, 2017 be approved, motion seconded by Commissioner
Kirkland and unanimously approved.

“Disability Employment Awareness Month.” Darryl Ellis, Business Relations
Consultant, Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) and other
representatives were present for the proclamation.
Mayor Schmitz presented and read a proclamation, proclaiming September 25,
2017 as “Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children.” Susan Trawick,
Dothan-Houston County Substance Abuse Partnership (DHCSAP), along with
Dothan High School Juniors and DHCSAP Youth Council Members Lauren
Beauchamp and Molly Mathews were present for the proclamation.
Commissioner Dorsey thanked Public Works Director Jerry Corbin and his staff,
those in the blue shirts who are sometimes overlooked, for the great job they do in
picking up trash and limbs. He said they make his job a lot easier because he did
not receive many calls about this after the storm this past weekend. He said he
would like to take this time to thank them and requested Mr. Corbin to deliver this
message. He said he plans on coming out toward the end of the week to do
something special for them.
Commissioner Kirkland thanked Dothan Utilities staff and our department heads
for the planning and hard work they did in preparing for the hurricane and
responding after the storm. He said we have had a good week and it could have
been bad if not for their efforts.
Commissioner Kirkland expressed his appreciation to Mayor Schmitz and said he
has enjoyed working with him for the past six and a half years.
Commissioner Kenward said we will now see recycling bins in our parks, and she
thanked Leisure Services and Mr. Corbin’s team for making this happening. She
said this is a wonderful thing and a step in the right direction. She listed water
bottles, soda cans, paper, and cardboard as items that can be put in the blue
cans. She said this will be a pilot program to see how it works and she would love
to see the need for more blue cans. She said the more we recycle, the longer our
landfill will last.
Minutes of the Board of Commissioners – September 19, 2017, continued.
Commissioner Kenward announced an upcoming event hosted by the Dothan
Police Department to help raise funds for a new animal shelter and rehome the
sixty dogs rescued from the puppy mill operation in March. A video slideshow of
the animals available for adoption was played during this announcement. She said
these dogs have dramatic before and after stories, they are ready for a home, and
have all been spayed, neutered, and chipped. She said the “Paws for a Cause”
event will be held on Thursday, September 28th in the Civic Center arena. Doors
will open at 5:00 p.m. with a silent auction beginning at 6:00 p.m. and lasting until
7:30 p.m. She said this is a family friendly event and concessions will be available.
Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, and kids 10 & under are free. She
encouraged everyone to come support the Dothan Police Foundation and to
witness what happens with these special animals who deserve a second chance.
She said the event flyer has been posted on the Dothan District 5 Facebook page,
it will soon be posted on the City’s website and the Dothan Police Foundation’s
website, and donations can also be made online.
Commissioner Crutchfield thanked all of the department heads for the
preparations and planning they did ahead of the approaching hurricane. He said
this, along with the services being restored as quickly as possible, was impressive.
Commissioner Crutchfield said Leisure Services has been doing a lot of work on
the walking and running trail at Westgate.
Commissioner Crutchfield thanked Mayor Schmitz for making his last year and a
half of learning enjoyable, and he looks forward to continuing to work with him in
his new role as School Board Chair.
The Commission then made a presentation to Mayor Schmitz and gifted him a
framed picture of the Joseph statue along with a key to the city. Commissioner
Ferguson said this statue is important to Mayor Schmitz, the Commission wanted
to offer a small token on their behalf to thank him for his leadership, optimism, and
positive support, and he is leaving Dothan better than he found it.
Mayor Schmitz said he appreciates our incredible community for the generosity
shown to the evacuees who came from Florida to seek shelter from the storm. He
said many churches opened up for the hundreds of people who needed places to
stay and many letters and emails have been received in appreciation for this
hospitality.
Mayor Schmitz said he is grateful for the “Roast and Toast” fundraiser held on
Thursday, September 14th. He said over 700 people attended this event and got to
hear about the Saliba Family Services Center which was created by former Mayor
Alfred Saliba in the 1990s. Mayor Schmitz said it was a wonderful evening, and he
is looking forward to working with Mayor-elect Mark Saliba.
City Manager West gave kudos to our team at the City who started preparing days
in advance of the storm. He said he wants everybody to know what a great City
team we have and what a great job they did in making preparations. He said he is
proud to be a part of this team who were there ready to respond.
City Manager West said a volunteer team of Dothan Utilities Electric Division
employees is in Lakeland, Florida right now and he has received Facebook
messages and emails from people thanking us for restoring their power.
City Manager West made the following announcements and comments:
