May 05, 2025 6:30 PM City of Smyrna Mayor and Council Meeting 2800 King Street SE Council Chambers Page 2 of 2 roads for the Smyrna Market. Richard Garland reminded council that these are the same road closures that have occurred the last 3-4 years. There are sone Sundays that King Street is closed to accommodate more vendors, but it does not occur every Sunday during the Smyrna Market. Discussion took place about signage and needing it as soon as possible and not understanding why it has not already been done. 6. Other Business / Staff Comment Councilmember Oglesby – The official flyer for the Juneteenth celebration will be out tomorrow as well as the sponsorship layout. Also, the fire hydrants will be painted Mother’s Day weekend. Councilmember Pickens – The Jonquil Jog was a great success. He also spoke about the shooting in his ward Sunday. He was not notified about it until late last night. He was first informed by the HOA rather than the city. He asked that if something like this occurs in their wards to please notify that council member and Mayor at least. Councilmember Lindley – He and Councilmember Hines assisted with the Legal Pop-up Clinic this past weekend. They talked about holding a Mental Health Resource fair next year. He mentioned the presentation from the Committee of the Whole updating the council about the projects around the city. He asked that that presentation be placed on the city website because it highlights important successes around the city. He expressed frustration that, though it was placed on the website, it is not found easily. He also mentioned that a “Coming Soon” button was to be placed on the homepage of the website, and that, too, is not easy to find. He does not like that constituents are having to “hunt” for these items, especially those items that are showing city successes. Councilmember Hines – Echoing Councilmember Lindley’s frustration, she wondered why when members of the elected body make a request, it does not get done – signage, website alterations, etc. She also mentioned the successful Garden Tour from this past weekend. Discussion took place about council member parking spaces and people parking in them. It was mentioned maybe license plates need to be run to determine who is parking is those spots. 7.
