Courtsey of WRBE , "Your HomeTown Radio"
The Lucedale Board of Aldermen held a very productive meeting on Tuesday night with action taken on several first-of-the-month agenda items.
Several employees were approved to attend training classes, along with the approval of travel for Mayor Dayton Whites to attend Coastal Development Strategies Conference.
A change in the rate for water and sewage was approved, but the increase would mostly impact only businesses with a large consumption of water.
Three grants were accepted, one to remove 39 dead and diseased trees from Lucedale City Park and replace them with new 40 gallon trees; one for a Mosquito Control Sprayer, and one for an ice machine for the Lucedale Police Department.
It was also approved for an Engineer to draw-up a legal description of the possible Annexation Property at a cost to not exceed $2,000.
Aldermen Carrie Moulds invited the public to an annual Easter Egg Hunt, which she sponsors, at Benyard Park at 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday. She also announced that the historic black school would be receiving a $110,000 historical grant.
Before adjourning, Mayor Whites reported that Phase I of a 220-foot walkway at the Lucedale Greenway was completed and handicap acceptable; it has been named “The Karen Havard Handicap Walkway.”
