Mayor Elumbaugh noted the Mayor's Community Update Meeting will be starting <br /> back up on September 1St. The meeting will be held at Josie's and be from 5:00-6:30 <br /> p.m. He invited the public to attend. <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh said Batesville Pioneer football season is starting up and they <br /> will be playing next week in Red Wolves Stadium in Jonesboro. He encouraged fans to <br /> attend this game, as half of the gate admission will be returned to the Batesville Booster <br /> Club. <br /> LIAISON REPORTS <br /> None <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Bryant noted there are still some street lights out around town. <br /> Councilmember Hensley asked mayor Elumbaugh to comment on fee structures <br /> from other community centers. Mayor Elumbaugh said it is hard to compare apples to <br /> oranges, but other cities have also discounted rates for citizens living inside the city <br /> limits. Some of the cities have a higher percentage of tax money that goes directly to <br /> the operation and maintenance of their facilities so they are able to charge less for <br /> memberships. He explained the City of Batesville's tax goes for more than just the <br /> parks and recreation department. A portion of the tax money also spent for public <br /> safety and streets as well. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember Bryant moved that the meeting <br /> be adjourned. Councilmember Poole seconded and all voted for. <br /> RICK ELUMBAUGH, MAYOR <br /> JENNIFER CORTER, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT <br />
