The Nashville City Council met at City Hall last night for a regular meeting. Tom Speedie, who is the president of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, spoke in front of the board for 2 requests. The 1st request was for a $12,000 donation. The city showed their continued support by approving this request. The 2nd request was the approval for the closure of the same streets for the Fall Festival, which will be in late September this year. The council also approved an ordinance, which will make the appropriations to defray all necessary expenses and liabilities for the City of Nashville, Washington County and the state of Illinois for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. The Police Department made a promotion to one of their part-time officers, to full time. Officer Jonathon Stambaugh was approved to become full-time, to replace officer Heizel. The council approved to name the street down at the park, which is across the bridge heading towards the pavilions and golf course. The new street name for that area will be called John Forys (Forse) Memorial Drive. This was approved because that road had no prior name and because it will now provide 9-11 a written name in case there is a call at the golf course or near the pavilions. Two donation requests were approved last night. One was for the Nashville high School Music Patrons Program, for a donation of $250, and the other was for the Big O Memorial Golf Scramble, for a donation of $100. The money raised from that golf scramble will go wards the marching hornets and their trip to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 1st, 2019. The next city council meeting will be on Thursday, August 2nd.
