First on the agenda was Don Adams, teacher at Mooresville High School, and he brought with him Ben Thomas, President, and Ryan Gregory, Vice President of the Student Body. They requested permission to have a Homecoming Parade on October 10, 2003. The route would be North hldiana to Main Street to Maple Lane to St. Clair Street and back to the school on North Indiana Street. They would like to paint footprints on the road to the school in the same place Relay for Life painted the purple footprints. Don Adams said they would like to make the footprints gold or blue. He said he wanted to see if Joe and the street department could help. Mr. Adams said they had another request also. The street back behind between the High School and Northwood and around to the Jr. High, the street between the High School and Northwood and around Jr. high they thought they would name MOPI Way and the street into the front of the High School, Pioneer Circle. They would put up the signs at no cost to the Town. Councilman Warthen said that was basically private property. Councilman Bryant asked if this was off the right of way. Attorney Currens said yes, as the Town does not maintain the streets, they could name the streets. He said the Town would give their blessings and pass it on to the school board. Councilman Bryant said that the organization that did the footprints last time took care of getting the paint and he did not know how any of the other council members felt about this, but he didn't have a problem with it. If the street department says they have the time to do the footprints and the school could probably get the paint donated. Councilman Mathis asked Joe Beikman how much paint was used before. Joe Beikman said about five gallons and that was donated. Councilman Mathis asked if they could paint over the purple and if they had time to do this. Joe Beikman said they would just add it to their list. Councilman Bryant asked how long the painting took the last time. Joe Beikman said about a day and a half by the time they directed traffic and let the paint dry. Councilman Warthen asked if the street department did the painting during the day. The answer was yes. Councilman Mathis asked if it took two guys and Jae Beikman said actually four, two to direct traffic. Councilman Mathis then asked Dennis Knierm, Police Commissioner if some of the police could direct the traffic. The answer was `sure'. Councilman Bryant asked Joe where he referred the last group for paint. He asked if it was C & C paint in Plainfield. Joe said yes. A motion was made by Councilman Bryant, second by Councilman Mathis to allow painting of footprints. Motion carried 5-0. A motion was made by Councilman Warthen, second by Councilman Clark to close the streets for the parade route. Motion carried 5-0.
