The Berryville City Council approved the city’s annual leaf and limb pickup schedule at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Leaf pickup will begin Monday, Nov. 6, and will continue weekly over four routes, concluding with pickup for the final route beginning Monday, Dec. 4.
Limbs will be picked up during the week of Monday, Nov. 20.
The council also approved a request from Carroll County Collector Krista Burnett to place banners on the Berryville Square regarding the due date for property taxes to be paid.
Also gaining the council’s approval was a request from the Carroll County Historical Society to use a portion of Tabor Street as vendor space during the upcoming Pioneer and Heritage Days, to be held Friday and Saturday, Sept. 22-23.
The council authorized a quit claim deed to accommodate driveway access for a home located at 202 S. Springfield St. off of the planned site for a new public library.
The council also approved a resolution declaring a home located at 1207 Kristy a nuisance and condemning it. The house was heavily damaged by a fire.
The council heard the monthly activity report from Saunders Museum, which had 158 visitors in July. That was down from 194 a year earlier. The museum deposited $1,063 for the month, down from $1,299 in July 2022.
In August, the museum drew 132 visitors, down by one from August 2022, and deposited $983, up from $977.50 the previous year.
Also during the Sept. 5 meeting, Mayor Tim McKinney read a proclamation declaring Friday, Sept. 8, as Linda Boyer Appreciation Day in the city. Boyer retired recently after 43 years with local radio station KTHS.
“… Linda has spent her entire KTHS career exercising the fundamental right of free press in a distinguished and professional manner that has kept the public informed on a variety of news stories of interest, mostly those related to local government and events,” the proclamation says in part.
After the adjournment of the regular meeting, McKinney and council members toured the former Entergy building on South Main Street that the city purchased last year and has remodeled as the new home of the Berryville Police Department.
Police chief Robert Bartos said the department planned to move into its new space on Wednesday, Sept. 6.
