The Sullivan City Council approved an ordinance regarding prohibiting uses of public parks in the city during their regular meeting on Monday. At a previous meeting in September, Mayor Mike Mossman noted there had been people trying to live in the park. He said in the past that had happened, but this year it has happened twice. If shelter space is available and a person refuses to go, they will be cited. The ordinance was tabled at the September 25 meeting due to corrections needing to be made but was brought back at Monday’s meeting where it was approved.
Resident Nancy Barker addressed the board saying she would like to thank Commissioner Doug Shook for what his department is doing to resolve some of the flooding issues in the area where she lives. She also said she appreciates everyone trying to get the brush fire extinguished.
