Council okays Rumble on the River entertainment district in short meeting

With only a single item on its agenda, the Demopolis City Council had one of the shortest meetings on record Thursday.

Councilman Charles Jones Jr. presided over the abbreviated meeting in the absence of Mayor Woody Collins. Also absent was Councilman Bill Meador.

The lone vote taken at the meeting approved designating an entertainment district for Rumble on the River speedboat races June 12-13.

The entertainment district has limited access to the Demopolis River Landing.
