Dallas City Council holds emergency meeting on COVID response
Some members of the city council aren t happy with the mayor s role during the pandemic and met Monday night to ask for some changes.
DALLAS - The city of Dallas will start vaccinating people this week. It s getting about 5,0000 doses to do it.
But some members of the city council aren t happy with the mayor s role during the pandemic and met Monday night to ask for some changes.
Several city council members said there is confusion about the city s role in registering and administering COVID-19 vaccines. Some members said they didn t even know the city was getting its own vaccines until after they saw a press release.
And the arrangement pleases some neighbors.
Hotel Miramar on Fort Worth Avenue in Oak Cliff has an excellent Dallas skyline view, but the decaying building has been a nuisance to neighbors in the upscale community around the old hotel.
Officials said more than 300 calls for police were recorded there in the past four years.
“Hundreds of citizens have reached out to me during our two community meetings and with texts and emails,” City Councilman Chad West said.
Some of those people see the city as a savior.
“We have a chance to make a difference with funding that would take years to raise privately,” neighbor Alice Zaccarello said.
