Vandalism. Break-ins 0.,..,,*. 0..,.,
Arrests made for possession of a
at South Industrial Park controlled substance, synthetic narcotics
Jerry Gaddy, owner of Gaddy
Electric spoke to city council
=,...: members on Thursday, March 5
• ". "in regards to growing concerns
. : ,over the recent vandalism and
' ". 'break-ins at the South Industrial
",' ," Park.
" '" Foster Farms, Eaves
• ,'., ,Construction, and other compa-
[ties are also concerned over the
ilncrease in criminal activities
' "and the foot traffic through the
00iii ],ark.
No specifics of the break-ins
" or vandalism were addressed
i!': "iiionly_.._. the increasing amount of
:... the crimes.
. According to business own-
,. .ers the problems seems to lay
with too many people on foot
allowed freely through the park
with no ties to the businesses.
These people do not work there
or are they contributing to the
businesses in any way.
There is a motel/apartment
complex located on the south
end of the park that they believe
could be the problem. Zoning
could be the issue and the city
agreed to look into it.
Gaddy did praise the
Demopolis police department
for their recent increased patrols
of the park.
Mayor Mike Grayson was
encouraging as he said, "I spoke
with Demopolis Police Chief
Tommie Reese and we will get
to the bottom of these continu-
ous break-ins."
All council members were in
agreement that the businesses
that are in that park will have
the peace of mind over their
business and properties as the
situation is addressed and
resolved.
In other business, Council
approved a low bid from
Goodwyun, Mills, & Cawood
for $16,500 to do the emergent
work on Herbert Street. It has
been over a year since the street
has been blocked off in bad
repair.
The new undisclosed bids for
a fight at the five- way stop
located at the intersection of
Pettus, Front, and Arcola roads
have been approve&
Tommy Reese was approved
to apply for a body camera grant
for his officers there will be no
match needed from the city.
Rice Heating and Cooling
was approved for some HVAC
work on the Rosenbush build-
ing in the amount of $15,590.
Council also approved the
Demopolis Historical commis-
sion to divide the city into his-
torical districts to aid in the
preservations of the historical
places.
