The City-County Baseball agreement  and Tree commission will be among the topics discussed at Tuesday’s Selma City Council meeting.

All of the items were discussed at Thursday’s City Council Work Session

The City-County Baseball agreement  between the City of Selma and Dallas County was one of the Business Items for Selma City Councilman Clay Carmichael, who presided Thursday in the absence of City Council President Billy Young.

Selma Mayor James Perkins Jr. and Dallas County Probate Judge Jimmy Nunn signed the agreement last year. City Attorney Major Madison said the deal was for one year and both sides did not want to continue the deal.

Another item on Carmichael’s list was the Tree Commission, which he believes should be active in the city. Madison said over 400 trees are put on public lands and some will need to get taken down.
