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."

Regular Council Meeting. Old Business: The old Scottsboro Police Station on John T. Reed Parkway will be sold by auction which is to be conducted by City of Scottsboro officials. The council requested the Mayor develop a plan for the conduct of the auction. Two other options were discussed but rejected, hiring a private auction company or utilize a sealed bid process. It was decided the public auction process by a city official would be the most economical and would insure a high degree of public disclosure.

New Business: 8 items of surplus property at the Street Department were declared excess property to be sold on "gov deals."
