employees who keep Kingsport clean. He also echoed the City Manager' s comments regarding
Jay Church. Alderman Olterman mentioned the DB baseball team hoping next year there' s
improvement, but he pointed out the basketball players are gearing up. He noted the girls'

largest volunteer group so far this year. He stated the Downtown concert series started last

facility with pretty views. Lastly, she pointed out there aren' t many Twilight Alive Concerts until
Funfest starts so get out and enjoy them. Vice- Mayor George thanked Chris and staff for the

even though a flat budget was presented, the citizens will see many projects underway that had
already been funded. Mayor Shull reminded citizens there will be a second reading of the budget
