are involved. There has only been one injury, a broke hand. Alderman Parker commented that
the railroad crossings are great. Alderman Swaim agreed. Mayor Freeman said we will be
getting some direction from the Railroad on possibly closing some crossings down. The counter
at the crossing on 12 Street is for that very reason. Ile foresees the crossings at Cedar, by the
Library, Elm, and behind the old gymnasium, being closed. Next, Alderman Moore commented
that the J.R. Young development will really enhance the community out there. Also, Alderman
Swaim said it would allow emergency vehicles to access Kibler Road faster.
There being no further business, motion was made by Alderman Parker and
seconded by Alderman Swaim to adjourn. The Council followed with a unanimous vote.
The meeting adjourned at 7:37 p.m.
