MADISON – Madison City Council paid bills, commented on city events and heard from one citizen in a brief meeting on Oct. 12 in Council Chambers.

During public comments, Howard Lee from Owens Cross Roads expressed appreciation for CPR classes that Madison Fire and Rescue Department recently offered. Lee said the classes were “a great public service. It’s getting hard to find a location for something like this.”

District 4 Councilman Mike Potter reported that consultants for Madison’s West Side Master Plan were gathering information from citizens in City Hall lobby from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 12. Another meeting was held at Cork and Crust restaurant on Oct. 13 from 5 to 7 p.m. On Oct. 14, the consultants will meet with steering committee members to finalize this week’s study.

Council President Tommy Overcash, who represents District 5, said the council will meet for a work session on Oct. 21 at 5:30 p.m. in Conference Room 130 at City Hall.

Overcash also reminded residents that the homecoming parade for Bob Jones High School will be held on Oct. 15 at 5 p.m. The parade, which starts near Insanity Complex, will impact traffic on Hughes Road.

“Madison Street Festival was excellent, even though the weather did not cooperate,” Overcash said. “The Madison Street Festival team were troopers and did an outstanding job. Attendance was good even with the rain.”

District 7 Councilman Ronica Ondocsin said the architect for Madison Public Library’s building project is in town this week. “We met with (the architect and library staff) today and plan to take a tour of Madison on Tuesday. The project continues to move ahead,” Ondocsin said.

Among the council’s approved payments were $22,419.46 to Littlejohn for CE&I Services completed to-date on County Line Road and $5,000 to Jerry Codispoti for consulting services on the recreation facility project.

Council passed Ordinance 2015-262 for the city to recognize the Severe Weather Preparedness Tax Holiday on Feb. 26-28, 2016. Madison has participated in the ‘tax holiday’ for five years.
