and suggestions from the suggestion box.

City Administrator Shephard stated no suggestions were in the suggestion box.
The two main items of interest tonight are, the City of Seymour, had an
engineer do a survey of the airport. We should have a report within the next 3 or 4
weeks on the cost of re-sealing, re-stripping, and other repairs that need to be done
to the airport.

There have been some questions on the old Home Treasures building that burned
a while back. We are waiting on some paperwork to be returned to the city, before
we can proceed further and present other options to the council.

I will be out of the office attending my continued education class tomorrow, and I
do appreciate the council allowing me to do that. That’s all I have for tonight.
