Council approves annexation, park use and weekly day-of-prayer resolution; sets Juneteenth events
Summary
The council approved an ordinance to annex property into the city, authorized a youth baseball clinic at Polar Park, adopted a resolution recognizing a weekly day of fasting and prayer, and announced Juneteenth community events and consultant-contract review.
At the June 11 meeting the council approved several noncontroversial community items.
The council voted to approve an ordinance to annex the property discussed in prior meetings; council also asked the city attorney to draft a companion resolution to remove certain roads from the county’s inventory so maintenance responsibilities can transfer. The council approved Reverend Willie Burns Jr.’s request to use Polar Park for a youth baseball clinic and directed public works to assist with cleanup and field preparation as needed.
Pastor Sam Lewis and Pastor York requested a city resolution recognizing every Tuesday as a day of fasting and prayer; the council approved that request by voice vote. Council members also announced Juneteenth weekend events on June 19–20, including a motorcade, giveaway and a kickball tournament, and noted an upcoming review of a six-month consulting engagement (Waypoint Consulting) used for grant work.
These items were approved by the council and will proceed with normal administrative follow-up.
