BUSINESS LICENSE – ALEXUS CHRISLEY
Mayor Knight stated that Alexus Chrisley had submitted a business license application for 124 Fairplay Street. He advised that the business is Chrisley Events LLC.

After discussing the application the council stated that more information was needed because a community center is not an allowed use either.

APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURE TO REPAIR POTHOLES
