Notes from the video/text:

"Hello crime fighters! Do you like my new video background? This is for Snellville City Councilman Tod Warner, who took issue with my flowery kitchen wallpaper. Not really, he just teased me about it and said I should put a sheet up there. So this is a sheet.  Hope he likes Batman. Planning Commission meeting previously scheduled for January 28th has been canceled due to lack of business to discuss. I've posted a list of February Snellville events on MySnellvilleBlog.com, so be sure to check that out. There are a lot of exciting things happening in Snellville. This year will be the THIRTY EIGHTH year of the Snellville Days Parade and Festival in Snellville. On February 1st at 6 p.m., there will be a Snellville Days planning meeting in the Betty McMichael room at T.W. Briscoe Park, Anyone interested in helping to plan the event is invited to attend.

Ray was severely injured in a motorcycle accident last year and lost part of one of his legs. He is really an inspiration. Snellville is buying the Wisteria Square property for approximately $700,000. The next step is underway - Snellville City Attorney Tony Powell is working to make sure that Snellville has a clean and clear title for the piece of real estate known as the Wisteria Square property on Wisteria Drive, right across from the new Police Station. Councilman Tom Witts has asked that everyone show up for the town center visioning charettes that will take place between February 10th and 18th.  He says that "participation is voluntary, but living with the RESULT is going to be mandatory!"  So think about what you would like to see Snellville be like 10 years from now. Witts said we are only as good as the info they receive from the public. It's the ideas from the public  that they will give to the designers. Witts said "this is your city, its up to use to build it and participate -- please take time to complete the survey. You can find a link to the survey on Snellville.org or on the main page of My Snellville Blog.com.
