 Among the highlights were:
* Offering of  a $500 reward for information into car thefts and break ins that have recently taken place in  surrounding communities since the close of school.
* Movies in May had to be held inside due to weather. Because of this money was lost on rental of movie projection equipment. Council is researching purchasing its own movie projection equipment for the City of Pinson.
* The cedar tree in Triangle Park will be decorated for the holiday season instead of purchasing a tree as has been done in the past.
* The library board has a vacancy which it will fill, now that Robbie Roberts has vacated the post and  holds Place 3 in his position as  Pinson City Councilor.
*Dedication of the Baird Tatum Cemetery will take place June 8, 2013 at 1:00pm. Because of parking restraints at the cemetery, those wishing to attend are asked to park at Restoration Church  located next to Mission Possible at 4496 Center Point Rd . You will receive further directions from someone there.

MAY 2011

The  devastating April tornadoes spared  the Heather Pointe community. Yet many were the recipients of destructive remnants left by the tornadoes. No doubt  someone you know was  affected in some way. The EMA of Alabama and those connected with search and rescue operations have done a tremendous job.  Perhaps you have sheltered loved ones who have lost their home, assisted with cleanup or donated time and supplies. You too are a hero/heroine. Let us not forget those who perished, those who were injured  and those in need.  

* Summer is fast approaching.  Children will be spending more time out of doors. The carefree lives of most children causes them to sometimes become careless. An out of bounds ball, bicycle or  running child can appear out of nowhere.  Stay alert and pay attention to speed limit signs.

MOVIES IN THE PARK

The City of Pinson will sponsor outdoor movies on May 13 and May 20. The field behind Solid Rock Church is where the movies will be shown. Bring your lawn chairs beach towels and snacks. Movies start at dusk. Pinson Methodist Church will be the alternate site in case of rain. The movies are free and fun for the whole family.



Toy Story 3 May 13th





Yogi Bear May 20th



*The next Pinson City Council meeting will take place May 19^th. 6:30 pm Pre-Council meeting. 7:00 pm City Council Meeting. The public is welcomed.
