- Description:
- Hosted by Charlesetta Bisard. Segment one: St. Patrick's Day a success, 0:00-14:45. Civic Magazine covers the 1999 St. Patrick's Day celebration in Savannah and the police (SPD) response to the holiday. The Savannah Police Department reported that the new River Street gating system was a success, as citation and arrest numbers were down significantly from prior years. Interviewees for the segment include Director of Leisure Services Joe Shearhouse, a representative of the Visitors Bureau, an Savannah police officer, a representative of the Waterfront Association, and City Manager Michael Brown. Segment two: Money for monuments, 14:45-18:21. Following a news conference at the Beacon Range monument where the city of Savannah was given $60,000 from the Savannah Morning News and its Celebrate 2000 partners in order to fund the restoration of the monument, Civic Magazine interviews a city employee who talks about the plans to restore the parts of the Beacon Range monument that have been corroded. Segment three: Small business development, 18:21-20:02. Civic Magazine covers a ribbon cutting ceremony for Dr. J. Annette Parker Harriett's new business EnVision Eyecare. The business was the first recipient of the Small Business Administration's new prequalification loan program, which aims to provide capital access to minorities, women, veterans, and other underserved groups. Speakers at the ceremony include Mayor Floyd Adams, Jr. and Small Business Administration Director Charles Anderson. Segment four: Y2K, 20:02-43:09. Civic Magazine covers Savannah State University's Y2K conference, to help businesses prepare for possible computer bugs or other issues that could come up with the advent of the year 2000. Speakers at the conference include Alderman Gary Gebhardt, and City Manager Michael Brown, who talks about city government preparations for Y2K in the event of computer failure.
