The Batesville City Council met, but discussed no business at the monthly meeting.
Jim Hodges, commander of American Legion Post 271, asked the council to consider turning the property the Legion is on over to the American Legion. Hodges stated that the building needs work and upgrades. The Legion is eligible for grants, but only if the property belongs to the Legion.
Mayor Bettice stated that the property is on a piece of land that the city owns. He stated that it is not a standard sale, and is something that needs further investigation due to several laws involving city property sale.
