JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Scottsboro City Council Meeting


Tonight was a work session meeting and was very short. 1) Discussion of early retirement benefits for approximately 9-14 Scottsboro employees. Incentive pay for the early retirement will range from a payment of $25K to payments of health insurance in the amounts of $300 per month for 7 years to $350 per month for 6 years. The exact number of employees that will take advantage of the early retirement offer is yet to be established but it was stated there will probably be between 9-14 employees. 2) Mr. Marvin Holcomb made a proposal to the city to maintain 3 boat ramps in the city for a fee of $500. 3) Council discussion concerning the proposed Grant Writer contract. 2 proposals have been received. A decision will probably be reached at the next council meeting. 4) Mayor and Council Members Reports: A) Communications Tower lease discussion. Happy Thompson has the current lease for 20 years at $300 per year. That lease is up for renewal. B) Storm debris cleanup is nearing and end. Slated to end by July 1, 2009. C) This weekend will be Scottish Days at the Goosepond Amphitheater.
