Jane Edwards addressed Council concerning indications she was not happy with the
performance of the City Administrator. She indicated she had talked to Mr. Keesler
concerning a problem she had with drainage on her property she owns on Walnut
and Church Street. Mrs. Edwards stated that when Nel Armstrong first became
mayor and after much time of trying to get Council approval that the City would fix
her drainage on the south side of her lots to City specifications and she would have
to pay only half of the costs.
Mr. Keesler advised that the City could not do that and she could do whatever she
wanted to do and the neighbors would have to worry about where the water went
after she fixed her problem.

Council.
She then proceeded to her complaint about not getting on the agenda concerning the

Keesler's termination for lack of confidence in the ability to do his job.
