The Mayor also asked for everyone to remember the Stephen "Kegal" Smart family on <br /> the recent passing of his wife Susie. <br /> LIAISON REPORT <br /> None <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Matthews asked if Code Enforcement could check on the status of the <br /> old Batesville Country Club. He said the property is dire need to be bush hogged and there are <br /> large animals living on the property that could hurt children and other animals. He said he is <br /> also concerned about the swimming pool being open and accessible. He asked if we could <br /> possibly have the pool filled in with dirt to keep someone from getting hurt or possibly downing. <br /> Dr. Matthews also told the council of the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21St. He said <br /> in Batesville the eclipse will be about 95% complete. He reminded everyone not to look directly <br /> at the eclipse which can cause severe eye problems, even blindness. Dr. Matthews said he <br /> was concerned on the number of children, since school will be in session, will try to look at the <br /> eclipse. He said there are special glasses you can purchase to protect you eyes while viewing <br /> the eclipse for about $1.00 on the internet. Councilmember Beller said he would donate $50.00 <br /> for the purchase of glasses for the schools and would match any other donations for the same <br /> cause. Dr. Matthews said he would also donate $50.00. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no more business, Councilmember Beller moved that the meeting be <br /> adjourned.
