Alcohol Beverage Control Administrator Freddie Ray gave the monthly update on alcohol license and sales stating that “Everybody’s in compliance and I think everybody is collecting the tax.”

The Parks and Recreation Department report was presented by Assistant Director Brian Garrett who reported that little league had ended and the coach pitch tournament is scheduled for July 20th.
