Next on the agenda was to consider an ORDINANCE RESTRICTING SKATEBOARDING AND
ROLLERBLADING ON MAIN STREET AND IN THE CITY PARK. The Clerk read the Ordinance the
first time in its entirety. Alderman Swaim moved that the rules be suspended and
the Ordinance placed on its second reading. The motion was seconded by Alderman
Moore. On the Clerk's calling the roll, the following vote resulted: Ayes
Alderman Parker, Spoon, Barker, Moore, Taylor and Swaim. The Mayor declared the
motion carried as there were six (6) ayes and (0) nays. Four (4) votes being
necessary for passage. The Ordinance was read the second time.
Alderman Swaim then moved that the rules be further suspended and the

the motion carried as there were six (6) ayes and (0) nays. Four (4) votes being
necessary for passage. The Clerk then read the Ordinance the third and final time.
The Mayor declared the Ordinance open for discussion. Alderman Parker asked what
kind of problems they were having with the skateboarders. Chief Mason Childers
said the problems are basically on Main street and the parking areas. He said the
Skateboarders are sliding up and down the rails and ramps. The Mayor said one
incident was that they were waxing the brand new concrete on the curb so they could
skate up and down it. Chief Childers said they were not out to fine anyone or put
anyone in jail. He said the Policemen just need authority to tell the skaters they
cannot be in certain areas. Alderman Parker asked Marjorie Armstrong if she was
having any problems with the skaterboarders. Marjorie said she did not see this as
a problem. She said it was a little scary to think they were waxing the Handicap
ramp. She said they wait until all the shoppers are gone, they don't want people
around, then they do their skateboarding at the Depot. Marjorie said this might be
overreaching. She asked if there might be someway to keep the restrictions in the
City Park. Alderman Swaim said if Skateboarders were at Shermans Grocery he
wondered what happen if they ran into someone with a bag of groceries. Chief
Childers said he had been asked for help with the skaters, but the Police
Department doesn't have any authority to tell the skaters they cannot do certain
things or skate certain places. Mayor Riggs said they provided the Skateboard park
and there were quite a few kids that were concerned in wanting to help and then
there are the ones that mess up any activity they are doing. Alderman Taylor asked
if we could tell the Skateboarders they cannot skate in City Park since we already
made a place for them at City Park. The Mayor said he didn't see a problem with
the after working hours. Alderman Swaim made a motion to adopt the Ordinance.
Alderman Taylor asked to clear up the areas for designated skaters. Alderman
Parker said she could see the sidewalks downtown being a designated not to skate
on. Chief Childers said they were not looking to make money off the Ordinance or
make arrests. He said they were just looking at the safety issues. Alderman
Taylor said if you talk to the kids they say they don't have anything to do and
then if the City gives them something to do they feel like we restrict them. Mayor
Riggs said they have a motion on the floor. The Mayor asked if there was a second
to the motion. The Mayor then said the motion failed to second. Alderman Barker
made a motion to table the Ordinance since there was so much about the Ordinance
that each of the Alderman didn't like. The Motion was seconded by Alderman Spoon.
The City Council followed with a unanimous vote. Alderman Moore asked if the
Ordiance could be rewritten because they took the authority right out of Chief
Childers hands. Alderman Taylor said the motion failed and the Ordinance was a
dead item and could be rewritten and brought before the Coucil at a later time.
Next on the agenda was Mr. James Anderson with Cox Cable TV to inform the
Council members of all the updates. He said he just wanted to let everyone know
they were going to be here in the area. Mr. Anderson said anytime there was a
problem just give them a call and he would be there to help in case of any problems
with all the replacing on cable or the updating the Cable service. Mr. Anderson
said they were trying to notify the people in the areas where they would be working
so they would not be startled by someone working at their residence. Mr. Anderson
explained to the Council about the services they were going to being working on in
the future.
Next was the recommendation from the Public Facilities Board for Lyn Brown to
fill the unexpired term of John Guthrie to December 31, 1999, and for a five (5)
year term beginning January 1, 2000. Motion was made by Alderman Taylor and
seconded by Alderman Swaim to accept the recommendation. The City Council members
followed with a unanimous vote.
Next on the agenda was the Treasurer 's Report. Motion was made by Alderman

Commission reports were presented for filing.
The Mayor asked if there were any items from any citizen. There was none.
Next was Miscellaneous and General Discussion. Marjorie Armstrong said she
was sure glad the town she grew up in didn't outlaw riding bicycles up and down
Hospital Hill because she sure had a good time there. She said she had the war
wounds to prove it.
There being no further business motion was made by Alderman Swaim seconded by
Alderman Moore to adjourn. The City Council members followed with a unanimous
vote. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
