1. Discussion on selling the lot on Washington Street where the old High School sat.
Allen has talked to the cities lawyer. The lawyer suggested putting a stipulation to build a residence within one year of purchase. All council members agreed that it would be a good idea to sell property. A new residence being built will bring in more tax revenue for the city.

2. Jeremy Malcom asked the City to pay $5,000 for a 1991 Firetruck. The department will pay $10,000 and wants the city to pay the remaining $5,000 by the end of next year. Jeremy stated the newer truck would help with the ISO rating for the department. Donnie made a motion to not purchase truck at this time due to funds, Don seconded. Motion carried with all “Yes” votes.
3. Adjourn the meeting: Donnie made motion to adjourn, Bill seconded. Motion carried with all “Yes” votes.
