Mr. Cornett thanked Mayor Humphreys for his
leadership during the Billy Graham Mission OKC. He said over 100,000 people attended and The City is a better place
because of the mission.
Mr. Bowman said he appreciated the personal
testimony Mayor Humphreys shared on the opening night of the Billy Graham
Mission.
Mayor Humphreys said it was a privilege to serve
and he is embarrassed for any attention to be focused on him. He asked that everyone remember there were
thousands of other Oklahoma City volunteers who were involved with the planning
and execution of the Billy Graham Mission OKC.
Mr. McAtee said he is representing Oklahoma
City this week at a National League of Cities meeting dealing with human development.
He said he is attending the meeting because he has a strong conviction
that individual character of citizens has a direct relationship with the events
of our City.
Mr. McAtee said recently his daughter visiting
from Vermont was selected for a special security check at the airport because
her drivers’ license was getting ready to expire. He said some might think this is an infringement
on rights but he applauded the security at Will Rogers Airport for protecting
the citizens.
Mr. Rinehart requested the Municipal Counselor
find out what the procedure is to get Item IX. B. on the City Council agenda
again.
Ms. Simank said she missed the Billy Graham
Mission because she was out of town spending time with her father on Father’s
Day. She said she read in newspaper
accounts the events were wonderful and the Mission was a success.
Ms. Johnson thanked the Hardimon family for
donating money to start a computer center for the Outreach Ministry at the
Quayle United Methodist Church.
IX.
Ms. Johnson said W.K. Jackson, Pastor Emeritus
at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, passed last week and there will be
a memorial tonight in his honor at 7:30 p.m. and his funeral is tomorrow at
11:00 a.m. She said W.K. Jackson came
into the public arena when The City had a sanitation strike during a time
of segregation and he helped to mitigate the problems facing Oklahoma City.
Mayor Humphreys said Oklahoma City has had some
racial problems and tensions over the decades but there have been leaders
in the African-American community and in the civic and corporate communities
who have worked together to resolve these problems. He said Pastor Jackson was a real leader in our City and the current
Pastor, Major L. Jemison, is also a fine leader.
Mr. Liebmann said he thought the City Council
made a great decision today on the banner issue. He said the banners make for a more beautiful city and are especially
useful for welcoming guests.
Mr. Liebmann said Mayor Kirk Humphreys was selected
to serve on the United States Conference of Mayors Advisory Board and was
named Chairman of the Workforce Development Committee at a meeting on June
6, 2003, in Denver, Colorado. He congratulated
Mayor Humphreys on his appointment.
Ms. Simank congratulated the Mayor for representing
Oklahoma City on a national basis.
Mayor Humphreys said there are only a handful
of Republican mayors involved in the leadership of the Conference of Mayors.
He said the organization does not have a good relationship with the
Bush Administration but did have a strong relationship with the Clinton Administration.
The Mayor said the Conference of Mayors is going to work on strengthening
that relationship.
Ms. Simank said a Social Service Committee meeting
will be held immediately following Council.
