MAYOR'S COMMENTS <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh asked Chamber of Commerce CEO Crystal Johnson to <br /> address the council regarding upcoming events in the City. Ms. Johnson told the <br /> council that the annual Christmas Parade and lighting ceremony will begin at 6:00 PM <br /> on December 2nd. She also said they have purchased one month of advertising on a <br /> billboard just South of Searcy advertising our Christmas Light Displays. Ms. Johnson <br /> then asked the council to consider a resolution in support of the Chamber applying for a <br /> grant with the Department of Arkansas Heritage to host a festival that focuses on <br /> historic foods and foodways within the Batesville area. Councilmember Matthews <br /> introduced the resolution and Mr. Castleberry read it in full. Councilmember Bryant <br /> moved to adopt the resolution and Councilmember Henley seconded. The roll call <br /> count was 8 for and 0 against. <br /> At the last meeting, Mayor Elumbaugh asked the City Engineer to look at the <br /> traffic flow situation on Stadium and Allen Streets.

Councilmember <br /> Matthews moved to accept Mr. Johnson's recommendation. Councilmember Bryant <br /> seconded and all voted for. <br /> LIAISON REPORTS <br /> Councilmember Bryant said there was a lot currently going on at the Airport.
