Residents secure fee waivers for Steele Creek Lodge; paving request and veteran banners raised
Summary
At the March 3 meeting residents won fee waivers for Steele Creek Lodge and asked the council to pave Cedar Avenue and approve veteran banners at Baldwin Square; the council approved the waivers but took no formal action on the paving request.
Margaret Walope, representing the Women’s Club of Satsuma, asked the council to waive the rental fee for Steele Creek Lodge; Councilmember Randy Little moved to waive the fee, Councilmember Shirley Presnall seconded and the council approved the waiver unanimously.
Birdie Jones separately requested a fee waiver for Steele Creek Lodge for an event on April 13, 2026; Councilmember Presnall moved to waive the fee, Councilmember Bert Taylor seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Resident Jayden Tillman asked the council to pave Cedar Avenue. Mayor Mark Barlow and councilmembers discussed the request during the meeting; there was no recorded motion or formal vote on paving at this session, and no timeline for action was announced.
Tim and Cindy Sherrer asked the council about displaying veteran banners at Baldwin Square around Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. Mayor Barlow and councilmembers were supportive and thanked Mr. Sherrer for putting flags up for events; the transcript recorded the council’s general assent but no formal motion was recorded at the meeting.
The fee-waiver approvals will allow community groups to use Steele Creek Lodge for upcoming events; infrastructure requests such as the Cedar Avenue paving request will likely require follow-up through the scheduled March 10 workshop or staff evaluation.
