The Marlin City Council unanimously approved a resolution that declares every Friday from November 12, 2004 until the end of the year as "Bulldog Day" at their regular session on Tuesday, Nov. 9.
The Resolution states that all citizens will be allowed to show their support of the Marlin Bulldogs by wearing purple and gold every Friday until the end of the year.
"The Bulldogs of Marlin High School have embodied the tenacity of Bulldogs by defeating all corners trying to claim the crown on 18-3A champions," the resolution says. "The Bulldogs of Marlin High School have exhibited that all important team spirit and proved teamwork is the defining character of champions."
The resolution is a way for the citizens to show their support for the Bulldogs, who were crowned District Champs of 18-3A and recently defeated China Springs in playoff action.
In other action, the council:
-- approved in a vote of five for and two against the use of Rehab funds to purchase new water meters
-- approved in a vote of five for, one against and one abstaining putting filters back on line and add media to current filters at the water treatment plant.
-- unanimously approved accepting the Step Wave Grant that will allow the Marlin Police Department to have two extra officers on duty on holidays to catch speeders, DWIs and seat belt violations.
-- took no action on altering the current Curfew Ordinance, and discussed enforcing the current ordinance.
-- tabled possible changes to the cemetery procedures.
