Mayor Scholl <br /> noted that Commissioner Aelion is out of town and is joining us tonight via conference call. <br /> Mayor Scholl said he would like to say a few words about Orlando. As many of you know his <br /> day job is managing the Blood Center here in Florida, a company called One Blood. He got <br /> the first call at about 5:00 a.m. on Sunday regarding the tragedy in Orlando because of their <br /> need for the blood supply to aid the victims and meet the surgery needs in Orlando Regional <br /> Medical Center. They had an incredible outpouring from the community on Sunday of blood <br /> donors,and his staff worked until 4:00 a.m. on Monday to assist every donor that was in line, <br /> and then came to work at 10:00 a.m. on Monday and found out that one of their co-workers <br /> was killed in the Club. It was a pretty terrible set of circumstances for One Blood. The only <br /> silver lining was it heighten the awareness of blood donations and we probably collected more <br /> blood in the past week then we have in several months. It was an incredible tragedy and <br /> obviously it is bringing a heighten awareness to a•lot of things not just blood donations but <br /> that happens to be near and dear to his heart. He asked for a moment of silence for the <br /> victims, those injured and for everybody that put their best foot forward to deal with the <br /> tragedy. Mayor Scholl then gave opening remarks of decorum. <br /> 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> 3A.
