Loading...
Summary
Council announced a Saturday ribbon-cutting near the train with giveaways for the first 24 children, reported purchases of benches and waste receptacles for parks and an update that the library had 24 patrons and 16 checkouts in November.
Pendergrass City Council used part of its Nov. 18 meeting to preview a ribbon-cutting ceremony and park improvements and to hear a brief library report.
Speaker 1 said the ribbon cutting will be held Saturday at 11:00 and noted the site is temporarily closed for ground work near the train. "The first 24 kids that show up little kids that show up are gonna get a hat and a train whistle," Speaker 1 said. Council members reported purchasing benches and four receptacles to be placed in the park and amphitheater, and noted the golf cart used for park maintenance would likely be finished soon.
Speaker 3 delivered the library report: "for the month of November, we've had 24 patrons and checked out 16 books." The council discussed coordination with the North Jackson Fire Department on related matters.
Why it matters: these items affect city services and community events in the near term; the ribbon-cutting offers a public celebration and the procurement of benches and receptacles will affect park amenities.
Next steps: the ribbon-cutting will proceed as scheduled; facilities and staff will place purchased park furnishings.
