In it's regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, the Lyerly Town Council accepted $2,330.00 from Modern Woodman for it's fire department. The funds were provided by Modern Woodman and are matching funds to the amount the Lyerly Fire Deparment raised selling Boston Butt roasts during the town's Severe Weather Awareness Day on March 31.

Mayor Josh Wyatt reported that 25 people have signed up for water in the Oak Hill – Alpine areas as part of the town's water expansion project. He said he will look into the cost and see if the move is feasible.  

 Also the council approved the expenditure of $2,330.00 for a steel trailer to be used for storage at the park.  Mayor Josh Wyatt said the trailer is needed because right now ball equipment including, pitching machines and pitcher's mounds, are housed in the concession stand when not being used. He said for the concession stand to be used that equipment has to be removed and put back and is sometime damaged in the process. The trailer is 20-feet long, 8-feet wide, and 91/2-feet tall. Wyatt said he got quotes from several companies ranging in price from $2,600 to $3,500 delivered.  

In other business, accepted a bid for 6 batteries for it's fire trucks. Both bids received were for the same amount — $1,742.44, from WS Darley & Co. and Kussaul Electric.  A council member who is also a fireman was told to decide which company from which to purchase the batteries. He said he would probably select Kussaul since the town would receive them quicker.
