City leaders officially announced during Monday\u2019s monthly city council meeting that city hall is being designated as a site where such exchanges can be made. Councilman Loren Connell asked about establishing such an exchange site noting the recent killing of a University of the Cumberlands baseball player, who died while trying to buy a cell phone from someone he met online. The exchange ended up being a robbery attempt that went bad. Zachary Finch was shot and killed on June 18 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Mayor Roddy Harrison said that he had been debating where to establish an exchange site, and decided on city hall because the police department is located there and it is well lit. \u201cPeople have called us in the past and we told them to come here,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cI think it is probably a good idea just to call city hall first and let us know you are going to be here. If it is late and you can\u2019t get a hold of us, come here anyway \u2026 Since the death of the baseball player, I think it is a real good idea.\u201d In other business Monday, the council announced that the new water rates won\u2019t go into effect until August. Harrison said that city officials couldn\u2019t get their billing software updated in time to add the increase to this month\u2019s bill. The new software program for the billing is about $3,500."}
