Veteran’s Memorial Lot: Rose is to get an agreement made up for the Veterans and the City Council to have two members from each group be the contact people for events to happen at the gazebo. Before the Veterans do any changes to the lot they are to come to the council for approval, since the lot is in the City’s name now.

Rocky will be putting some garbage cans up around town and at the gazebo.

Lots East of Water Tower: Lots 1-4 in Adkin’s 2nd Addition offered to Farmer’s Union for $12,000.
