The Farmer’s Market arbor will be placed on the vacant lot on the west side of the Calhoun City Square after approval was made by the board of aldermen last night.

Public works director Lee Burns reported a pump going out on their backhoe and repair of this was approved.
Burns and Alderman Marshall Coleman discussed an area on North Main Extended that will need some work, and it came up that a culvert for Keenum Road will have to be purchased.
They approved a grant agreement for sewer repairs which will be used on the east side of town, and it was noted that they have two years to spend the money.
The mayor and board ended their meeting in an hour long executive session discussing two personnel matters.
