Next on the agenda was Miscellaneous and General Discussion. The council had a
request from First Baptist Church to close streets on October 28, 2012 for their 5K event. Mayor

guards. The mayor said that he would have Jennifer inform them that they will need to provide
the tail end escort. Motion was made by Alderman Parker and seconded by Alderman Ragsdale
to grant their request. The council followed with a unanimous vote.
Mayor Freeman then gave a summary of investments. First, the Mayor mentioned the
Police Department. They interviewed for the construction manager last week. The architect is
currently reviewing the six possible sites, in various different sizes. The biggest issue at the
moment is parking. Mayor Freemen said we may be looking at building a 2 story building.
Secondly, A -Plus Architecture is working on a legal description for the fire station. Also, the Fire
Department is working on pricing a new pumper. Thirdly, with the Senior Center, MAHG is the
architecture on this project. Mayor Freeman noted that the Senior Center will remain in the same
location. Mayor Freeman mentioned a few things with the Lee Creek Park area. He is looking at
meeting with Miles Johnson in Russellville. First thing that needs to happen would be for us to
inform them that we are interested in leasing the area from the Corp of Engineers. Mayor
Freeman said he would get that letter together.
There being no further business, motion was made by Alderman Parker and
seconded by Alderman Ragsdale to adjourn. The Council followed with a unanimous
