MICHAEL HUGHES – RECREATION PROGRAM
Mayor Knight informed the council that Dr. Hughes is looking for a building that he can use to start a recreational youth and family center.

He said he is planning on talking to the county about the large room at the fire department.
KEVIN ARMSTRONG – BUILDING PERMIT ISSUE
Mayor Knight advised Kevin Armstrong that the building he has is allowed in the R1 zoning district but what he wanted to do with it is not.
