In other new business, the Council approved the use of downtown streets as a detour while a section of Ind. 114 is closed for a Second Friday car show from 5 to 9 p.m. June 10.
The Council heard updates from Christine Flohr, executive director of Visit Wabash County, and Kyle Wieland, superintendent of Manchester Community Schools.
Flohr listed the businesses and organizations of North Manchester which are highlighted in Visit Wabash County's comprehensive magazine, including Manchester University, the Manchester Symphony Orchestra, the North Manchester Center for History, Manchester Alive and others.

Kissinger said he and several others from the department had a meeting with Tina Edwards at Manchester University regarding a series of pulled fire alarms at East Hall.
