RECESSED MEETING                                     __________________                           August 20, 2015

Mayor Thomas Sims called the recessed Council Meeting of August 20, 2015 to order at 6:30 P.M.  Everyone joined in the Pledge of Allegiance.  This meeting has been called in order to discuss the possible annexation of some properties north of town.  Many property owners assembled and asked questions about the proposed annexation. Some for, some against, most just wanting more answers before a decision could be made.  The Mayor answered some of the questions and said that this was just the first step to see how much interest there is in moving forward. There will be more information sent to them in the near future regarding how much tax revenue the City will gain from the annexation and what the City intends to do with those funds.

Mayor Sims adjourned the meeting at 7:30 PM.
