The Mayor said the Movies in the Park start next week-end and so far this year, <br /> the Terry Sims Diamond Sports Complex has hosted 3 successful ball tournaments. He <br /> also invited the public to the Barnett Building Thursday night at 6:00 PM for their input <br /> on a proposed bicycle and pedestrian master plan. The City's goal is to create a bicycle <br /> and pedestrian network, providing safe and accessible facilities that connects to key <br /> amenities in Batesville. <br /> The Mayor asked for the council's approval for him to negotiate with the <br /> Independence County Library Board and Attorney Bill Walmsley regarding the <br /> possibility of leasing the first and second floors of the Barnett Building to the library. <br /> Councilmember Poole moved to give the Mayor the authority to act on the City's behalf. <br /> Councilmember Shetron seconded and all voted for. <br /> LIAISON REPORTS <br /> None <br /> COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> Councilmember Beller wished to complement the parks employees who worked <br /> at the ball tournament this past weekend. Mr. Beller said the City hosted 65 ball teams <br /> from across the state. He said in visiting with one visitor, was told they had been to <br /> facilities in 10 different states and have never seen such a hard working crew as we <br /> have at our facility. He said we don't need to forget those employees who make those <br /> tournaments such a great success. The economic impact the tournaments make is also <br /> great for our community. Dr. Beller also said he has been noticing canoer's on the <br /> Bayou lately. <br />
