[Bristol-Birds] Napier appointed city parks interim director

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.

Let's go birding.....
