Dr. Sonny Proctor receives welcome from Mayor Weaver
The Jasper City Council held its regular meeting December 5th 2016 and first on the agenda was the swearing in of the newest City Council member Dr. Sonny Proctor. Proctor was elected in the November election.
Dealing with old business the 2nd reading of the updated noise ordinance was passed which will change the wording to remove the part which indicated you would need to live in the city limits to launch a complaint. A local bar had received 4 citations due to noise in the last year.
New business included awarding the City’s liability/worker’s comp insurance to Key West Insurance. Key West, a prior insurer for the City, came in with a bid 3 thousand lower than the competing bidders with no loss in coverage. The city will also continue in an effort to move forward with the sewer/water system improvements.
The meeting came to a close with updates on economic development from Gerry Nechvatal, the finance report from Lisa Hoyle, Lonnie Waters gave a short update on animal control and DOT projects. Chief Greg Lovell gave his police report and Chief Roper gave the fire report. Fire calls were up but basically due to the calls received reporting the smoke from the wildfires.
There was also discussion on the water main damage from the crew laying fiber optics which drilled through a 8″ Main line casing and split the line. It is unclear how long it will take to repair but the City was hopeful it would be within a few hours.
