Alexander city council approves gazebo plans for park

      This past year visitors to Alexander City Park have benefited 

      from the addition of some amenities including park benches 

      and trash containers. Next year Mayor Paul Mitchell expects 

      to add a gazebo, similar to the one in the above photo.

      At the regular November 20 meeting council members 

      approved a maximum of $60,000 on the project. Mitchell 

      estimated the cost of the gazebo between $25,000 to $30,000 

      plus another $30,000 for installation of the gazebo and 
      adding electricity.

      The project will be paid for from the park fund, which receives 

      one-quarter cent from the current two-cent city sales and 
      use tax. When asked Mitchell said the park fund has 
      around $300,000.
