Administrative Lieutenant Terry Napier of the Bristol Tennessee Police Department is being named today as the interim director of the Bristol Tennessee Department of Leisure Services. He fills a position created by the April 18 resignation of the director. Bristol Bird Club has a long term relationship with the Steele Creek Park Nature Center and Steele Creek Park which are facilities and programs operated by Leisure Services. A source close to the city report that City Manager Jeff Broughton has an extensive interest in the city parks, particularly Steele Creek and the park's nature center. Broughton will attend a Monday, May 7, annual meeting of the Friends of Steele Creek Park Nature Center which will be held at the Park Lodge at 5:30 p.m. He is expected to announce goals for 2008. The city is planning a $162,000 budget increase for the department which, among other things, will include funds for architectural design for a major renovation and an extensive addition to the current nature center building.
