A second meeting between Seminole downtown merchants and City Manager Steve Saxon has been scheduled for 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 16 at the Seminole Public Library.

About two dozen down-merchants showed up at the first meeting held on March 12 to share their concerns on downtown crime ranging from illegal trash dumping to burglary with Saxon and Police Chief Jon Withers.

Action items gleaned from that meeting include the establishment of a Facebook page for downtown business and property owners and the design and implementation of a Down-town Business Improvement District. It was also suggested that the city design a plan for lighting and cameras throughout downtown.

Most attendees at the meeting agreed that a curfew, with a provision for business owners to be in their shops after hours, should be enacted, and Saxon said he would take that up with the city council.
