GORDO- The Gordo Town Council meeting was held Monday, May 2nd. After a call to order by the Mayor, there was a short prayer and then the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Mayor.

The first order of business for the council was to ad- dress any visitors that were there to speak to the council. There was one visitor at this meeting. Meg McCrackin, Vice President of The Gordo Youth Football and Cheer Association Board (GYFCA), met with the council to discuss funding for the Youth Football and Cheerleading Association. Mrs. McCrackin stated that in the past several years the association had not been managed as well as it could have been and there was a shortage of funds to cover equipment and fees for this year's teams. Mrs. McCrackin stated to the city council that the GYFCA had elected a totally new board to oversee the management of the association and that moving forward the board would conduct itself with accountability for their actions and make smart decisions on spending to prevent another situation like this in the future.
