City Of Hamilton Heard From Community Member During Monthly Meeting
Hamilton community member Barbie Schlotterbeck attended the April 9 Hamilton City Council meeting to discuss persisting issues with the former Hamilton Baptist Church’s sewer line. During discussion, Schlotterbeck explained that they had been in this church building since approximately 2015 and had gone from cleaning out the line once per year, to having to do so every couple of months. This subject had been included within discussion during a previous meeting, with council members being made aware of the issue. Last Tuesday evening, members of the council took a more in-depth look at maps of the area, while considering possible causes and solutions. 04/16/2024 11:00 PM

Eureka City Council Discussed Upcoming Events, Ongoing Projects And Heard Community Member Concerns
Representing the Eureka Pro Rodeo at the April 8 Eureka City Council meeting, Jamie Nelson provided an overview of the previous year’s event and shared details regarding the 2024 rodeo. This will be the 13th annual Pro Rodeo held in Eureka and will feature a new announcer, West Huggins. The funny man from Louisiana will be returning to Eureka and the rodeo lineup is anticipated to be good. Nelson noted that the goal for the event is to be bigger and better. The event will once again take place at the Greenwood County Community Center (GCCC/Eureka Downs). Returning this season, sponsors who contribute $250 and up are able to access the upper floor of the facility. This had previously moved to $1,000 and up sponsors due to high volume of spectators in the upper floor the inaugural year the event was hosted at the Eureka Downs. The 2024 Eureka Pro Rodeo will be held August 16 and 17. After noting that the community had come together to make the event being hosted at the Eureka Downs happen, Nelson voiced appreciation for the support, both monetary and otherwise, the City of Eureka has contributed. His donation request for the rodeo and other guest tax requests will be reviewed by the council finance committee. 04/16/2024 11:00 PM
