After returning to open ses- sion, the council approved a 2.5% pay increase for city employees. During an old business item, the council heard a request by Ben Deal, who operates Back Achers building supply on city- owned property he leases. In April, the council agreed to extend the lease another fi ve years. Last week, Deal told the council he still has another two years on the current lease and asked the extension run fi ve years beyond that two-year time frame. However, the coun- cil decided to just keep the renewed lease to fi ve years. Get All Your Needs Met!
