City Council - Regular Meeting

Let's ask Danny Ricker to come up and lead us in our invocation and then Tim Ward will lead us in the pledge of allegiance. Let us pray. Lord, we're thankful for today, God, and God, we're thankful for our Greenville City Council as they seek your guidance, Lord, to make the decision to lead our county. We thank you for them, their families. And we thank you for all of our first responders that you'd keep your hand on them, keep them safe in our neighborhoods, in our county, our city. And Lord, we just ask you to bless them and help us today in Jesus name. Amen.

If you'll face the flag, I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As far as the mayor's comments go, first thing I'd like to do is bring up I guess Paty to do a little presentation for us. And Chief Spano, if you'd like to come up, I'd appreciate that, too.

Yes. G4. This one's a little different than what we're used to doing, but extra extra special. This is for in memory and honor of Terry Rednour. So, we want to show our gratitude for Terry's dedication to protecting our community for 21 years and say a prayer for strength for his loved ones left behind and his brothers and sisters in blue. I'd like to ask for Betty and his family to come up to the podium so that we honor Terry's memory and thank him. And Chief Spano then will offer a prayer. Come on around, mayor. Thank you. Yes.

So, came up with a little thing here and had people around the office sign it for you just to put up and I'm going to read it and says, "If tears could build a stairway, tears could build a stairway and memories were aligned, we would walk right up to heaven, bring him back again." No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. Gone home before we knew it. Our hearts still ate in sadness and secret tears still flow. What is meant to lose you? No one. But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more. To remember all the happy times life still has. It should never be forgotten. We pledge to you today. We cherish place within our hearts.

Let me give this to you. Want to say we thank Terry for all that he's done for us.

He came to us in 2005 when the very respect man always said if we had a world stood by she so graciously away from her husband so he could be We do have another one coming up in the ranks now, a grandson Cameron who we're fixing to hire on our auxiliary again. So they will be part of the family still with us and we hope he has the same great career that Terry had. Thank you. I just want to thank everybody for all the support they've ever given Terry and so much for the always wondered why Terry wanted to do it so much now for everything that they do to support
