 There were no public comments.

 Motion to Approve: Mayor Pro Tem Green-Fletcher; Councilmember Enos-Sims
 Discussion/Comments: Councilmember Cox stated this in no way prevents someone from putting up a
 tent in their backyard for their kids to camp out. Mayor Habib stated the proposed Ordinance has come in
 to play because there has become an issue in our City, to include other municipalities, wherein people
 are putting up tents to actually live in them without having proper facilities. Therefore, this will give the
 City the means to address those issues.
 Motion Carried: All ayes

VIII. MAYOR’S REPORT

 Mayor Habib made the following announcements: He thanked Crystal, Lyza and the entire Recreation
 team for an incredible Fabulous Fourth in the Creek. Our annual Veterans Banner sale is underway.
 A banner featuring the special Veteran in your life can be purchased for display in the month of
 November at John McCants Veterans Park. After November the banner can be picked up to keep.
 Banners are $100 and can only be ordered online – visit GooseCreekSC.gov for more details. In
 addition to the banners, the Veterans’ Brick sale is also still going on. You can purchase a Veterans
 Brick to be displayed permanently at John McCants Veterans Park. Bricks are $125 and can only be
 purchased online. Visit our City website. Watch our social media pages for an important concert
 announcement that is coming soon! The Central Creek Farmers Market returns on Wednesday, July
 16, as well as Wednesday, August 6 at Central Creek Park. The July 16 market is a Youth
 Entrepreneurial Market, with young vendors paired with older vendors from around the community.
 It should be a great time. An American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on July 18 at the Activity
 Center. Visit our website for all of the details and to register. After donating blood on July 18, enjoy
 a Christmas in July Rec event at the City pool featuring pictures with Santa, cookie decorating and
 holiday-themed crafts. Summer Skate Night at Central Creek Park is set for 6:00 to 8:30 pm on July
 25. Kids Fest returns on August 2 to Central Creek Park from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The back to school
 event will be fun for the entire family – and will showcase music, a variety of family-friendly
 vendors, food trucks, free kids’ activities and back-to-school giveaways. The Goose Creek Police
 Department’s National Night Out celebration takes place on Tuesday, August 5, featuring fun for
 the entire family. The time for this event is 5:00 to 8:00 pm, and please watch our social media
 pages for more details in the weeks ahead. Goose Creek Police Department’s popular Citizens
 Police Academy returns on August 13 and will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 pm every Wednesday
 for eight weeks. All City residents are invited to sign up for this terrific course. Visit our website for
 more details. Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the Goose Creek Fire Department’s Back to
 School Splash on the morning of August 16, from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Wear a bathing suit and
 prepare to get splashed. Finally, I want to encourage everyone who is summoned for jury duty at
 our Municipal Court to step up to the plate and perform this crucial responsibility. To put it simply,
 maintaining law and order is not possible without our court system, and jury duty is an integral part
 of that system. For trials that take place in Goose Creek, the City depends on its residents to serve
 as jurors. In fact, this service is mandatory, and residents who do not respond to a jury duty
 summons could be held in contempt of court. All jury trials take place on Wednesdays here at the
 Municipal Center. The trials begin at 9:15 a.m., and your jury service will last only one day. Jury
 duty notices go out two weeks prior to the trial date. Mayor Habib stated one of our residents,
 Jamen Sanders, a junior golfer at Crowfield and a student at Northwood Academy, competed in the
 North South Amateur at Pinehurst and led after the first day and placed top 10 in a major amateur
 event and got to play against Tiger Woods’ son. He stated we are very thankful and proud of Jamen
 for representing the City of Goose Creek.

 Visit our website, the Recreation Facebook page, or drop by the Community Center to learn more about all of
 the information and events stated by Mayor Habib. As always, please keep up with the City on our social

 4
 media pages, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, now known as X. Be sure to watch Adam
 Kelly’s Your Week in the Creek video recap, and please sign up for our digital residential newsletter at
 CityofGooseCreek.com.
