Aug. 25, 2010 —
The Grayson City Council met in regular session this past week with a long agenda including the first reading of the 2010 – 2011 budget and setting the date for trick-or-treat.
The meeting began with Mayor George Steele and council members all being pleased to hear the city was $321,683 in the black. The council met again Tuesday at 5 p.m. for the second reading of the budget and to discuss blacktop at the new fire station and an upcoming sidewalk project at Prichard Elementary. The meeting took place too close to press time for coverage in this week’s newspaper.
The council then discussed the evening for tiny ghost and goblins to be out and about and set trick-or-treat for Oct. 28 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The possibilities of having the event Oct. 29 or Oct. 30 was also mentioned but most of the council disapproved.
“I just think it’s not safe to have it on the weekend,” said Duane Suttles. “In addition, it would interfere with high school sporting events and we have to consider that traffic is higher on the weekends and wouldn’t be good to have children out on the streets.”
