Item No. 1- Appointment of Councilmember to fill the vacancy left by
Doyle Riley.
The available and willing persons to fill this position from those
five names submitted on August 11, 1984 are: C. W. Sanders,
Harvey Long, and Mark Wright.
It was the consensus of the Council not to appoint Mark Wright to fill
this position due to the fact that it is a short term and the need
to appoint someone to fill his position on the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
The motion by Richard Bennett was seconded by Jerry Mitchell to appoint
C. W. Sanders to fill the vacancy. The vote went:
For: Richard Bennett
Jerry Mitchell
Against: J. D. Kirkpatrick
Allan Elrod
The motion by J. D. Kirkpatrick and seconded by Allan Elrod to
appoint Harvey Long to fill the vacancy. The vote went:

the two above motions. The Mayor Danny Taylor casted his vote for
Harvey Long.
Harvey Long has been appointed to fill the term of Doyle Riley until
the April 1985 Election. This is to begin immediately.
A discussion of the setting of the Tax Rate for the Year 1985, brought
about the need to postpone this matter until another date.
With no other business at hand, the motion to adjourn the meeting at
8:15 Pm. by Allan Elrod was seconded by J. D. Kirkpatrick., The motion
carried with none opposing.
