Mayor Tony Burriss said the National Guard will survey and perform work at the park's drainage problem at no labor cost to the city (city to provide materials); he also announced a Sept. 26 community forum and other calendar items.
Mayor Tony Burriss told the council that he had met with the National Guard about a drainage problem at the park; the Guard agreed to conduct a survey and perform the work for no labor cost to the city, while the city would supply the materials. He listed calendar items: he will be out of the office Sept. 30–Oct. 2, Music on the Square is scheduled for Oct. 12, a Millington workshop will offer four hours of credit for the utility department, and a community forum will be held Sept. 26 at First Baptist Church North starting at 6:00 p.m.
Burriss also reiterated the council’s pro-business stance while saying the city would avoid ad hoc code changes. No formal action was taken on the drainage item during the meeting; the mayor reported the National Guard’s offer as a planned assistance measure.
