Two years ago, the City of Hopkinsville started down the road of installing cameras and now they are planning to upgrade the last analog devices. Tuesday night, the City Council approved spending $41,000 to purchase 31 cameras as part of the FLOCK program.
City Clerk Brittany Byrum's small misspeak brought a little levity to the meeting.
In other business, City Council approved the three first readings of rezonings on Canton Pike and Pyle Lane. Council also approved the first reading of ordinances renaming a portion of East 8th Street for bell hooks and a portion of East 21st Street for Bill Flynn.
