MINUTES OF COUNCIL <br /> SEPTEMBER 22, 1998 <br /> The Batesville City Council met for its regular meeting on September 22, <br /> at 5:30 P.M. at the Municipal Building. Mayor Joe Biard presided over the <br /> meeting. Councilmember Insell gave the invocation. Upon roll call, all the <br /> council answered present. Also present were the City Clerk and the City <br /> Attorney. <br /> Councilmember Cargill moved to approve the minutes from the last <br /> meeting and Councilmember Pectol seconded. All voted for. <br /> Councilmember Gaither moved to approve the prepared agenda as <br /> amended. Councilmember Ford seconded and all voted for. <br /> DISCUSSION OF "TRUCKS PROHIBITED" SIGNS ON MAIN, COLLEGE AND <br /> BOSWELL STREETS <br /> Mr. Elmer Kirk and Attorney Butch Ketz approached the council asking for <br /> them to reconsider the wording on the signs on Main, College and Boswell <br /> Streets. The signs currently read "No trucks or trailers including livestock <br /> vehicles — delivery vehicles excluded". Mr. Ketz said the sign puts a great <br /> burden on citizens in town who own horses and pull horse trailers. He also said <br /> it was hard for those who buy and sell at the sale barn, which is located on lower <br /> Main Street. The Mayor said the original intent for the signs was to prohibit 18- <br /> wheelers from traveling these streets. The weight of the vehicles does extensive <br /> damage to the pavement. The Mayor said he also had several complaints from <br /> citizens on the streets regarding large trucks including livestock trailers. <br />
