Grayville Welcomes New Assistant Police Chief

Grayville has a new Assistant Police Chief.  Mason Siegel will assume the second in command post following Tuesday’s Grayville Council meeting.  In addition, the city is appointing Logan Elliott assuming he passes the POWER test later this month prior to joining the academy in January.

Also Tuesday, the police report for October showed 174 calls for service during the month; the department worked 6 case files including a burglary, theft, 2 information reports, and made 2 warrant arrests.  A total of 19 citations were issued during the month along with 5 warnings, and officials also worked a solitary vehicle collision.

With Commissioners Ford and Baldwin absent, leaders barely had a quorum, but it was a fairly light agenda.  Aside from the 20 minute executive session, leaders only spent about 10 minutes breezing through first November gathering.  Commissioners Chris James and Scott Browning along with Mayor Travis Thompson approved ordinances approving the tax levy and abating the levy for the 2014 bond issue.  They also approved a resolution on the county’s Hazard Mitigation Plan before finally granting Wilma Lingafelter a request for revolving loan assistance.  She’s planning to demolish the structure at 111 West Fair Street.  Grayville leaders agreed to provide her 50% of the cost estimated to be $6,700 for the project.

Council adjourned at 7:30 and will next come together on November 25th from 119 South Middle Street at 7pm.
