Sign-in Speakers: 

Brenda Fawbush came to speak about her (and her neighbors) concern about the apartments that are being proposed behind Bratcher Estates.  She said they would create several problems including drainage issues, traffic, crime, noise and other problems.  She feels the developer has not done his part in the past to do things right and that it would just get worse if he is allowed to put the apartments in.

Crystal Lyons came to speak about an incident that occurred in Hickory Acres on September 6. A man stopped and performed a sexual act in front of several children.  She reported it to the police and they made a report; however she was unable to reach the reporting officer for several days following the incident and did not feel it was handled appropriately or in a timely manner.  She said she did her own research and found the subject on the sex offenders’ website and that as of today Officer Boone still had not contacted her.  Mayor Tinnell said this was a terrible incident and that she should talk to Chief Puckett.  Chief Puckett stated that Officer Boone has been off sick and that he would talk to her to see what was going on.

Denise Peacock of 151 Carpenter Street came to speak about the change that was made to the speed bump in front of her house.  Mayor Tinnell stated that the speed bump was ground down to one inch to make it a speed hump and it was painted and a sign was put up.  This is the same process that was done to the other speed bumps in the city. Mrs. Peacock was not pleased with what she referred to as the removal of the speed bump and feels that her grandchildren could be in danger because of this.
