to the 4 wheelers that are riding the trails on the Metro Park late at
night. They have been there until 1am. When she calls the sheriffs
department responds by then they are gone. The Metro Park people state the
4 wheelers are destroying the trails.
Mr. Tom Reagon owner of the Flea Market discussed the signage in Carlisle,
needs to look more at the specific needs of the property instead of a
blanket ordinance. Mayor Ellender stated that the city had been very lineate
with him and after awhile the signage got out of hand and then everyone was
abusing the signage. Council informed Mr. Wallace to crack down on everyone.
To have this changed would need to go back to the Planning Commission and
would need specifics needs for his particular place of business.
Mr. Wallace stated he has contacted 8 different government offices and only
have received information from 5 of them. A report will be turned into Mr.
Townsend and he will decide what the next action will be.
Mr. Wade Goins stated his place of business was unique and the business
located in the township was hurting his business due to the signage which he
is not allowed to have. Mr. Goins felt everyone should be treated the same
and he felt they were not.

be fixed. Mr. Brown is still trying to get that information. Also Central

pay. Mr. Ellender stated would look into having the manager look into the
board meeting.

off Lincoln due to the 123/Auction sign. Also she has had a request from
