lot business voted on tonight is moving this area in the right direction. This board and staff have
diligently worked on moving the city forward over the last five years, but pointing out city
government moves slower than private business. He listed the many projects that will be
completed later this year and in 2025 after years of legwork and laying the foundation. Alderman
Olterman stated he was proud of the DB baseball team and the soccer team. Alderman Duncan
stated the Kingsport Arts Festival is this weekend on Market and Shelby with a night parade to

and Lynn Garden. This coming weekend they will be in Riverview. Vice- Mayor George stated
there is a lot going on with the Visitors Bureau and listed several upcoming events throughout
the city. Racks tickets are on sale as well as FunFest concerts. Mayor Shull also talked about
maintaining infrastructure and that it does take longer for government but would rather it be right.
