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."

AGENDA


City Council Member Smith discusses the necessity of keeping Roseberry Creek free from invasive water plant species which may obstruct the waterways surrounding city park, county park and the entire embayment where businesses and residents are located. The county has not approved a budget amendment authorization to assist in control of invasive water plant species species. However, the county does not have general fund money for such a project. TVA is refusing to assist in any further  weed abatement projects although the environmental and economic impacts are very much part of TVA's concern.

Also, the Conveyor Belt Issue and Mr. Blizzard, discussed at 31:20 by Mr. Smith. Mr. Blizzard is currently on sick leave.

So nothing on the truck route. Will do nothing as usual, just let thinks go along. Just spend money here and there and in the mean time trucks destroy private property and the streets become worse and worse, but does not the square look good.
