A discussion was held concerning Town Administrative Items:
Ray Saylor, Police Chief: (Report on file at the Clerk’s Office)Ray requested the Town Council to approve William Goerlitz as a new Reserve Officer. He stated that Mr. Goerlitz has completed all required training. After some discussion on the matter, Jean Melton moved to approve Mr. Goerlitz with the contingency that Monty Garrett, after meeting Mr. Goerlitz, could decline and this motion would not pass. This was based on the fact that both Jean Melton and Curt Hudson had recently met and spoken with Mr. Goerlitz, but Mr. Garrett had yet to have the opportunity. Curt Hudson seconded the motion. Next, Ray gave an update on property located on Day Lane that needs to be cleaned up. Due to a death in the family, Ray is giving the owners extra time to clean up the property. Ray also informed the council that while most of the radios in the police station were brought up to the new code, that there were two radios that were not able to be updated. The police department is looking at two used radios that will bring the police station into compliance with the new radio law taking effect on January 1, 2013. Finally,Ray informed the council that his new vehicle has been ordered and will be in sometime around the beginning of the year.
