Connections sent the council a new contract for the meal site at the Community Building since they were now offering meal delivery for Wednesday & Thursday in addition to their regular meal site days. The new agreement would pay $100 per month versus the current $60 per month. The council wanted clarification on some of the terms before it was approved and did not act on the request.
Sue Richards complemented how nice the cemetery looked.
Mercer reported that he had accepted 3 additional grants written by the council from SCICF totaling $4700 for the city for new banners, repairs to the gazebo, and new basketball hoops.
