City Council Approves Grant Application for New Police Tasers
The council approved a resolution to apply for the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. This federal grant provides funding for specific law enforcement needs. This year's grant is intended to fund the purchase of new tasers to replace outdated equipment, thereby enhancing the non-lethal force capabilities of the police department. The approval authorizes the city to submit the grant application.
City Council Considers Separating Water and Wastewater Bonds for Financial Flexibility
The council discussed a resolution to split the city's existing water and wastewater bond documents into separate entities. Currently, the bonds are combined, which can complicate financial planning and bonding capacity. The proposed split involves refunding the existing bonds and issuing new ones under separate water and wastewater documents, maintaining the same terms and amounts. This separation is intended to provide greater financial flexibility and clarity for each utility's future needs and management.
Dustin Lewis Appointed to Murray Library Board
The council confirmed Mayor Hales' appointment of Dustin Lewis to the Murray Library Board for a term from June 2026 to June 2029. Lewis, a former city manager and experienced public servant, was welcomed back to serve the library. The confirmation was made via a motion and second, followed by a unanimous vote.
