PUBLIC COMMENTS OR PRESENTATIONS
No report.
DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION CONCERNING FUTURE PUBLIC USE OF THE
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Beth Ann Gregory stated that with the recent improvements to the Boardroom, concerns were raised
regarding continuing to make the room available to the public. Beth Ann Gregory added that when the
new building is completed, a meeting room would be available for public use. However, completion of
the new building is not expected until late summer of 2005. In the interim, it has been suggested that the
public could use the foyer.
President Henry questioned if the foyer area would be large enough.
Beth Ann Gregory stated that the foyer is not a perfect solution; however, the local churches have
continually offered their facilities as well as the Tom Thumb store. In the interim, the foyer is our best
alternative. If needed, the public would need to bring table and chairs.
The Board reached a consensus that until the new building is constructed and a meeting room is available,
the public will use the foyer to handle their affairs.
No action taken.
