Things are getting special for the Charleston City Council. In tonight’s meeting, the council will be proclaiming two upcoming special weeks.

If approved, Charleston will be recognizing the week of Sept. 30 through Oct. 6 as Week of the Classroom Teacher, and October 8-13 as Fire Prevention Week.

In addition, a bid award will be voted on for a vehicle exhaust system for Charleston’s Fire Station No. 2.

“What that does is when they first start up the fire truck and when they are driving towards the door, it captures the exhaust,” Charleston Mayor John Inyart said. “Since those guys live there, it helps to keep the atmosphere a little more healthy for them.”

The lone bidder is Midwest Air Pro, Inc. with their offer of $46,960.

Also, the council will be issuing a renewal of License Agreement with the Charleston Water Fowl Association to use and regulate hunting activities at Lake Charleston.

“People within their organization or people outside their organization that get a permit from them can go out there and hunt,” Inyart said. “It’s just a way of trying to help control who is coming and going.”

Also on the agenda are ordinances dealing with zoning, and amending an ordinance restricting parking on the west side of Second Street from Pierce to Polk avenues.

“It is a very narrow street,” Inyart said. “It’s only 18-feet wide to begin with . There’s not room to park your car there without sticking out into the street or having your wheels up on the sidewalk. And we really don’t need either one of those to happen.”

City Council meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. and are open to anyone who wishes to attend.

The council meets in the Charleston City Hall, located at 520 Jackson Ave.
