but had requested after the Agenda deadline. Motion was made by
Councilman Cochran, seconded by Councilman VanderMeer and unanimously
carried that Mr.Freeman be invited to approach the Council.
James C. Freeman appeared before the Council inquiring of them as to
why he did not receive a letter mailed from the Building Department to

Mrs. Jean Cork appeared before the Council representing Cooper Memorial
Library, and expressed appreciation to the Council for the action just
taken to give them financial assistance, but advised the Council that
this sum would not be adequate for the operation of the Library until the
next fiscal year, and urged their consideration for a larger appropriation.
Motion was made by Councilman VanderMeer, seconded by Councilman Bratton
and unanimously carried that the City Manager's recommendation to construct
an addition of one room to the building located at Kehlor Park from the
remaining un-appropriated $1250.00 in this fiscal year's Contingency Fund,
be authorized.
City Clerk Carroll read a letter from Mr. Tim K. Johnson, Booking Agent,
