Mayor Spencer asked Rhonda Shubert to address the council regarding the third item on his agenda: Request to purchase flooring plus installation for the Community Center from McDaniel’s Furniture. Ms. Shubert stated the carpeting is wrinkled and stained and she suggested a tile floor would be easier to clean since it is being rented out.

She stated that since school is out this week, there will be no After School Program and there are no rentals scheduled, so she’d like to have the new tile installed this week before the Community Center is back in use.
