As such, interviews will be conducted during the day Monday, February 7th. We also have the privilege of having Mr. Matthew Thys, FDOT Aviation Supervisor to serve on our selection committee (to include Paul Wagner, Terry Hill, and myself), as I feel that his tremendous experience in the field of aviation management will yield substantive, objective recommendations accordingly. We anticipate utilizing City Council Chambers circa 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If any of you wish, feel free to stop by City Hall during the lunch hour to meet Mr. Thys, as he now has to strong sincere interest in working with the City of Sebastian. City Council Information Letter February, 2000 Page 2 Scenic Hi.qhway Pro.qram Meetin.q in Sebastian Please find the attached confirmation letter as delivered by County Commissioner Ruth Stanbddge relative to hosting a Scenic Highway Program workshop at Sebastian City Hall, scheduled to take place Thursday, February 24th, 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. I plan to attend the meeting, as I have been working with various officials in recent weeks to promote the program in our community, as we hope to reap as many future benefits possible (e.g. relevant grantsmanship, expanded beautification initiatives, etc.). Once again, feel free to join in on the fun, schedules permitting! Open House Ceremony - Barber Street Fire Station Just a reminder about this Sunday afternoon's open house ceremony at the newly renovated Barber Street Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station. A number of residents were concerned that this program was to cater only to various dignitaries and officials. In actuality, the event is open to any Sebastian resident, particularly those who petitioned both City of Sebastian and Indian River County governments in recent years to make the expansion a reality. As such, anyone interested in attending, may feel free to do so. In fact, a high attendance is strongly encouraged!
