Summary
Council heard updates on a gas leak and Harris Street closure, pool renovation progress and expected contractor timelines, CSX depot window, and use of the Eagles parking lot for July 4 events; no controversies or votes were recorded on these updates in the provided transcript.
Mary provided several community updates. She reported a gas leak discovered during recent culvert/culvert-replacement work on Harris Street; the street was closed while utility crews worked and "there has not been an order for evacuation as of yet," she said. Crews were expected to isolate and cap the leak and reopen the street within days.
On the pool renovation, Mary said contractors were completing tiling and perimeter work with an anticipated near-term completion window; she described weekly progress updates posted on the town's Facebook page and said staff were aiming for an early July completion. Mary also previewed a July 4 event, saying the committee had secured roughly 25 vendors and a music lineup that includes local bands and headliner Trey Hensley.
Mary discussed depot/CSX work expected between July and September and said Ingles had signaled an August 1 mobilization date. She also said the Eagles organization had agreed to let the town use its parking lot for special events and added the organization to the town's insurance as an additional insured for event coverage.
