A) POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> Police Chief Alan Cockrill addressed the council with his department's monthly <br /> report.

He said the lack of employees <br /> has put a huge strain on the departments, primarily on the removal of brush, <br /> leaves and junk, and he asked the public to be patient while they try to get <br /> caught up. Secondly, Mr. Johnson said we almost have all the new trash <br /> containers distributed to the residents in Batesville. He said he wants the <br /> residents to know that the container belongs to the city and are registered to the <br /> address, therefore, if you move do not take the container with you.
