City Council Meeting - August 18th

There was no business done tonight for lack of a 5 member quorum. Mayor Segraves was in Montgomery to meet with the state highway director Joe McGinnis and was unable to make it back for the meeting. Those available for the meeting were myself, Elaine Junkin, Phillip Garrison, and Clarence Atkinson. Wade Peoples, Roger Agnew, and Randall Guin were absent.

We were to take up two items in tonight's meeting. We were to decide on a one time lump sum bonus for the city's retirees, as well as approving a resolution which would allow us to apply for a $100, 000+ grant that would be used to build a walking trail around the creek that runs through downtown. My understanding is that the trail would run from the main highway downtown to our high school softball field adjacent to the elementary school. We will, of course, carry these items over and take action on them at our next meeting.

Note: We are only 8 days away from our municipal election. Please remember it's important that we all vote and voice the concern we have for our future by electing those candidates who will move Guin forward. The En Evant Study Club is sponsoring a "Meet the Candidates" forum on Friday night at 7 P.M. at the high school all purpose room. Those participating will have five minutes to discuss four separate issues important to our city. I encourage everyone to attend and listen to the candidates views on these important topics.
