The Town of Talking Rock Council convened on May 1, 2025, to address various community matters, including financial reports and maintenance updates.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding damage to a park fence caused by a civilian. The individual responsible agreed to pay $60 for repairs, which were subsequently completed by a council member, Jim.

Following this, the council moved to accept the April 2025 financial report. A motion was made and seconded, with all members in favor of the report.

Jim then provided a summary of maintenance needs within the town. He highlighted the necessity to replace outdated lighting and ceiling fans in the park. The proposal included three ceiling fans and seven lights, with a request for aesthetically pleasing options that align with the town's rustic character. Jim emphasized the importance of durability in the new fixtures to withstand potential damage.

Additionally, Jim reported on the status of the park shower door, which he had repaired, and noted that a broken valve had been ordered but had not yet arrived.

The meeting concluded with a focus on these maintenance improvements, aiming to enhance the community's facilities while maintaining the town's historical charm. Further estimates for the lighting and fan replacements will be gathered for future discussions.
