Summary

Mayor Douglas Watkins asked that roll-call votes be taken when motions are made to ensure an accurate record and announced a Thursday Town Hall on ordinances and animal control.

Mayor Douglas Watkins asked council members to use roll-call votes when motions are made, citing recording problems that sometimes omit motions. "When a motion is made that a roll call vote be taken and Mrs. Cindy will initiate the roll call vote," he said.

Watkins also reminded the public that a Town Hall meeting is scheduled for Thursday to gather feedback on the town's ordinances and the processes used to adopt them, and said the session will include discussion of animal control. The reminder followed informal opening remarks before the formal call to order at 7:00 p.m.

Council members quickly moved on to the regular agenda after roll call and invocation; the council later entered and reconvened from an executive session on litigation.
