Sparta Board of Mayor and Aldermen had a short and easy meeting Dec. 4. After discussing updates on signage in the city, approving October financials, and approving Samuel Matthew Grissom for reserve firefighter, the brief meeting adjourned.
“We’re not taking any action at all on this,” Mayor Jerry Lowery said. “But I did want to bring it to light. We have had some complaints about signs, signage, various issues.”
Mayor Lowery gave the aldermen copies of the Sign Ordinance, and he tasked them with doing research and speaking with constituents to get a feel for how the city should move forward. Sometime early in the year, the board will meet in a work session to discuss discoveries and find solutions.
The financials were approved unanimously. Then, Mayor Lowery swore in Grissom for his role as reserve firefighter.
“To get quality young men that’s willing to run toward danger instead of away from it like most of us? Mayor Lowery said. “That warms my heart.”
While there were no questions for the department heads at the meeting, Alderman Jim Floyd wanted to commend Dillard Quick and his crew on their work with the new skateboard park.
The next meeting for Sparta Board of Mayor and Aldermen will be 5 p.m., Dec. 18, at city hall.
