MEETING
Present: Mayor Matthew Elvington; Council Members Mertis Barnett, David Johnson, David Kitchens; Clerk Sara Elvington.
Mayor Elvington called the meeting to order, welcomed everyone and opened with prayer. The minutes from May 18, 2017 were reviewed. Councilman Kitchens made a motion to accept the minutes and Councilmember Barnett second with a unanimous vote.
Council Concerns:
1. Councilman David Kitchens said the maintenance department needs a brush cutter to help eliminate the weeds in town.
2. Councilman David Johnson has been in touch with Mr. Bobby Horne to help with the street signs in town. The town is in dire need of street sign replacement. Johnson also reminded mayor and council the need of voting on Mayor Pro Tem, all agree this would be done next week. Mayor and council members will have Chief Campbell to fix markers at intersections for “No Parking” as this obstructs the intersection view. Councilman Johnson said he would help Mrs. Pat Laird and Sara Elvington put the pictures and plaques up at the Community Center since remodeling is complete. Council members and mayor have decided it’s time to review the Community Center contract.
3. Councilmember Mertis Barnett said there is a dog problem in town. Mayor Elvington said he would see about getting traps set in different areas. Councilmember Barnett is looking into a set time for the Fall Festival, which she hopes to have at an earlier date than last year. Councilmember Barnett said she would be in touch with the other members on the planning committee to get a plan going on events for the town. Mayor Elvington said he would like to sit in on the meeting.
4. Mayor Elvington said he had several items he is looking into and will get back with council at a later time.
5. Third reading of the 2018 Budget with changes noted.
No other business at hand; the meeting was adjourned.
