good meeting. Mayor Powell stated their agreement will come before Council again next week.
City Attorney Scott Hall - Asked about the Church going in on the lot at the round -a -bout on John
Adams. He stated they are none taxable and that is a major piece of property, it is financially in
the wrong spot for it. Council Member Oswald asked if there is anything we can do about it. City
Administrator Micah Austin stated he doesn't think we can do anything about this one, but going
forward we could change language so places of worship couldn't go into commercial spaces.

the time being now the second Thursday of the month at 6pm at the Fire Station. Mayor Powell
stated he believes it is important to attend at least every other month, feel free to just step out if
