If the Mayor and Board of Alderman were to have a fun and games meeting, the April meeting could have been it. Approving races, planning fireworks and naming a recreation board were all on the agenda.
Lacey Buchannan informed the board that Cannon County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) would like to hold a 5k Race. The board approved. The event will be Saturday, May 25th (Memorial Day weekend) with an 11am start.
The board approved members for the recreation board. Members will include; Ron Fryer, Debbie Vaughn, Mike Reed, Joann Tate as well as Alderman LuAnn Curlee and Mayor Duggin.
It was announced at the meeting that plans are underway for the annual city/county fireworks celebration for July 4th. The event has been sponsored in previous years by the county, Town of Woodbury and Auburntown. For several years the Mooretown Volunteer Fire Department has presented a fireworks display. This year, Mooretown will present the display at the city/county celebration.
Also during the meeting, a public hearing regarding the proposed annexation territory into the town of Woodbury by owner consent, and the plan of services. Property owned by Cole Reed, Kendall Smith, and Mike Hutchins located off Old McMinnville Road and found on Cannon County tax map 038, parcel 063.01 was approved.
