The mayor said Woodley had been charged with robbery and vehicle theft, had pretended to have a gun, and that the District Attorney, Matthew Barton, and the mayor held a press conference the same morning.

“...he got the maximum sentence,” the mayor said, and noted the victim had praised the police department’s quick response and prosecution. The mayor thanked the police department for the investigation and prosecution.

The mayor also announced that Bill Clark, approved at the previous meeting, had his first day of service as fire chief and had received his badge and uniform. In other community news, the mayor said the Right Way, KJ Wright’s Foundation will recognize Alderman Dickerson at an alumni charity basketball game in June, and that the Olive Branch farmers market will open Saturday with 46 vendors, more than double its earlier size, with additional space planned for non‑farm vendors.

These items were part of the mayor’s monthly report; no formal board action was recorded on the report itself.","During the June 2025 meeting the mayor told aldermen that defendant Raqim Woodley received a 35‑year sentence for a July 2024 robbery and vehicle theft at a city park, announced Fire Chief Bill Clark began service, and said the farmers market will open Saturday with 46 vendors.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6210496,"Olive Branch approves surface‑treatment change order to cover roughly 43 streets",57,1501000,1558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3718420-4192074b7d59c69398308b011e1ed6c8&start=1501&end=1558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3718420-4192074b7d59c69398308b011e1ed6c8/thumbnail_1501000.jpg","/articles/6210496/Olive-Branch/DeSoto-County/Mississippi/Olive-Branch-approves-surfacetreatment-change-order-to-cover-roughly-43-streets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210496-6d65cde16cb23f4b5ade568d5f1e32fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1776607984&Signature=EYiP19YfBRN3rsNAZqdt78APpwOrsl-Y~~QGlG3fuQNfGuxiDVYcEOz3ZnUTb1yxP6QyipGridIV9mkK6WoiPFRZA2lxG~sbVaknJcyLtj8PnFQVMBnvSJb9fsKy0~JS2cIflI32QL0nukba8BmmWG7F-4OOvMsBJzVsYOFoosvnBDXrTZr4KzTEQcvJ0cgRWH1OrGBGtLn575ROZIGO4MpaslknTRpe54Nfwy5pwMnqMry4-7yC5GhDn1eePPLJfeLpeDt7G61vCjcbL4DNjC-mZu5A13nelc99SUtjMbFu0WSKCoiYkf6BiTxL3lmznJBgPgn25ej04w9ndhb9zA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Olive Branch Board of Aldermen approved Change Order No. 3‑25 on the Lehman Roberts Co. contract for the city’s term bid annual surface‑treatment program, a staff presentation said, and staff described an accompanying list of streets that will receive work.

City staff circulated an updated list of road segments just before the meeting and told aldermen the change order covers most of the sites discussed at a recent special called meeting. A staff member said approximately 43 streets would receive surface treatment; four streets on the list require full overlay and were not included in this change order.

Alderman Collins moved approval; Alderman Henderson seconded. The motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the packet included a detailed list of road names and that they have addressed items developed at the earlier meeting. No separate funding request or timeline change was announced on the public record.

City staff said the change reflects a number of adjustments during construction, including moving a sewer line on Old Goodman Road from one side of the road to the other; staff described the net effect as a deductive change. “It will be a deductive change order for a hundred and 2,000, dollars 510,” a staff member identified in the meeting materials as Mr. Swims said in explanation.

Alderman Dickerson moved approval; Alderman Aldridge seconded. The board voted by voice and the motion carried.

Treadway said the nonprofit helped a nonverbal 6‑year‑old student at Center Hill Elementary after the child’s mother died, worked with a grandmother and school staff to connect the child to services, and that the organization’s programs have grown to include a summer jobs program that places 60 young people with 21 local businesses.

The Arc Northwest Mississippi advocates for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Treadway said, and provides social programs, job training and summer camp services. “I have 8 people who don't even live in our area,” Treadway said, referring to participants who drive from nearby towns such as Bartlett, Collierville and Memphis to take part in programming. She said the nonprofit also helped a participant transition from camper to counselor and into employment at the Pleasant Hill Cafeteria.

Board members thanked Treadway and praised the organization’s growth and local partnerships. Treadway invited aldermen and others to visit Camp Bull and noted the program’s first day was under way that morning.

The presentation was informational; no formal board action was taken on the item.","Rebecca Treadway, executive director of The Arc Northwest Mississippi, updated the Olive Branch Board of Aldermen on June 2025 about Camp Bull, a job-readiness program and participants who travel from outside the county for services.","actionData","errors"]
