The Plymouth City Council members reviewed a resolution Monday night that would establish a resident ID card as a city-recognized identification program.
Two amendments were made to the resolution. The first was a change in the name of the card. At the last meeting, Plymouth City Councilman Jeff Houin suggested naming the card the Plymouth Resident Identification Enrollment (PRIDE) card. It was requested to amend the name to say “Endorsement” card in place of “Enrollment” which received unanimous approval by the council.
The second amendment concerned a review process of the program within a year’s time with an option to discontinue if not satisfied with the program with a term limit, as recommended by City Councilman Greg Compton.
“My concern is compliance, security, fraud – lots of things I see in banking everyday,” commented Compton.
Houin suggested to simply make it an annual review of the council. City Attorney Sean Surrisi amended the resolution to reflect that wording with Compton in agreement. The second amendment to the resolution was also unanimously approved.
Jack Davis read a letter aloud from Ed and Norma Rodriguez about their support of the program and Juan Constantino from La Casa de Amistad was also answered a few questions of the council members concerning security. Councilman Duane Culp and Councilman Don Ecker, Jr. spoke about meeting with some residents who told their stories and who would benefit from the card which persuaded them on the matter.
In the end, the council members voted unanimously to approve the resolution.
Following the passage of the resolution, many in support of the program in attendance at Monday’s meeting erupted in applause.
