Resolved, that this City Council express to H�irvey Collins on behalf of the City

welfare of the City and its citizens:
Be it further resolved, that this resolution be spread upon the Minutes of the

Councilwoman McCleskey reported that all activites of the recreation department

Lumber Yard building for this purpose. Also a need to decide on a location for
such building was brought up.
Councilman Riggins atated that the work on the square is almost complete and lots
of compliments are being received and , of course, a lot less complaints.
The Council discussed the problem of watering of shrubs on the square and the
sweeping of the places that cannot be swept by the street sweeping machine.
The Council asked City Secretary to try to handle the problems of watering shrubs
and sweeping the necessary places on the square;
Chief of Police reported that some problems in the moving of traffic have been
created by the new traffic lights and allowing of left turns at some intersections. --
It is believed if the lights on Washington Street are set to change at the same
time and. no left turns allowed at some intersections, the traffic would move better.
The Council authorized Chief of Police to place above recommendations into effect.
Chief of Police also gave a report on the number of accidents, amount of property
damage, and number of arrests made this year as compared to last year. This
report shows approximately same number of accidents that property damage is a
lot less than last year. There have been an increase in the number of arrests this
year.
