Mr. Elmer Kirk addressed the council and said the most important thing <br /> the city can do is move the water intake above the Bayou. Mr. Kirk said he is <br /> currently taking radiation treatments at CARTI in Search and was told that <br /> Batesville and Independence County has the highest cancer rate per capita in <br /> the United States. Mr. Kirk said the culprit is the location of the intake valve. He <br /> said he wanted to go on record that whether the city gets a one cent sales tax or <br /> not, the water intake needs to be moved. <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember Mitchum moved that the <br /> meeting be adjourned. Councilmember Insell seconded and all voted for. <br /> JOE M. BIARD, MAYOR <br /> DENISE M. JOHNSTON, CITY CLERK <br />
