It was reported that a new sign had been placed on the community building, and Glenn was going to order the additional sign for the intersection of Wasson Road and Arkansas 12.
It was reported that the town was still looking for a handyman service.
Glenn reported that she had been contacted by a real estate agency, and the property adjacent to the cemetery was going to be used as an RV Park, with several concrete pads, water and electric hookups.

Council member Barbara Goodman reported the lock on the food pantry had been broken and was no longer functional, and the council discussed how best to repair the damage and monitor the site to prevent vandalism.
