11. MANAGER'S REPORT
Acting City Manager Kevin Troller noted that he wanted to bring three items forward in his
report tonight. First of all, he always appreciates it when people take the time and effort to write
letters to the City and thank our employees. They received a letter from Dr. Demetrius McCall,
with Goose Creek CISD, who talked about a series of months and meetings with the City on
capital improvement projects and people in the City that have gone above and beyond, which
include in the Planning Department, Martin Scribner, Nathan Dietrich, RJ Davison, and Zachary
Stark, to Engineering, Mr. Matt Johnson, and in Fire, Fred Spencer and Lieutenant Victor
Medina. We thank GCCISD for taking the time to write a letter to really appreciate the work our
staff has done with theirs.
Secondly, Mr. Troller noted that staff does a really good job, and they at least try to thank city
employees throughout the Departments for everything that they do. There is a lot of time and
effort and awful a lot of things that go on behind the scenes to get ready for Council meetings
and to try and support you all the way that we do. He'd like to take tonight, to thank some of the
people here that go above and beyond helping Rick, supporting Rick, and supporting Council,
which includes our City Clerk, Angie; our City Attorney, Karen; our Assistant City Manager,
Nick; and our Assistant to the City Manager, Brian, as they rarely stop and thank the people that
are up here, but they really appreciate all that they do and they could not do it without you all.
Lastly, Mr. Troller noted he was looking forward to Saturday, which would be the 20th
anniversary of 9/11, and he is very appreciative across the City as there are a lot of events that
will take place, but he just wanted to take a second before talking about our event in the City, to
look back 20 years at the four coordinated terrorist attacks: American Airlines Flight 11 in the
World Trade Center hit the first Tower at 8:46 in the morning, United Airlines Flight 175 hit the
second tower at 9:03 in the morning, American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at 9:37 in the
morning, and United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 because of
the historic and Herculean efforts of people on that plane. In all, he noted that there were 2,977
fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, 10 billion dollars in infrastructure and property damage, the
deadliest terrorist attack in history, and the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law

enforcement losing 340 and 72, respectively. He believes that is a day that we should never
forget, being attacked on our soil, and so he was thankful for everyone that was having
remembrance ceremonies this week and he wanted to inform them of the City Ceremony, which
would be held on Saturday, September 1 lth, at 8:30 in the morning at the Firefighter Memorial.
Mr. Troller encouraged anybody that could, to come out to do that as they would love to see
many people there Saturday and remembering a day, that all of us should never forget.
