Mayor Carolyn Peters asked Chief Milton to have that put on the agenda for their August 6 meeting, at which point the Council would have to approve it.

A quick meeting also included several other items:

>> Mike Mannix and Phil Vinson were appointed to the Zoning Board of Appeals.

>> As another heat wave approaches the area, Clinton and DeWitt County will have two primary cooling centers during the day. The DeWitt County Friendship Center will be available for folks between the hours of 8 am and 3 pm Monday through Friday. And the Warner Public Library will be open 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Thursday and Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
