CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

September 11, 2006 – 7:30 p.m.

A Moment of Silence...
The following words were spoken as a eulogy for a firefighter who lost his life in the World Trade Center. They could easily apply to any of the many law enforcement officers who lost their lives trying to save others as well: “Some people equate camaraderie with being jovial. It is anything but. Camaraderie is sharing hardship. It is shouts and commands, bruises and cuts. It’s a sore back and lungs that burn from exertion. It’s heat on your neck and a pit in your stomach. It’s a grimy handshake and a hug on wet shoulders when we’re safe. It’s not being asleep when it’s your turn at watch. It is trust, it is respect, it is acting honorably.”
