The Thomasville City Council on Nov. (date not specified) approved routine business including the meeting agenda, the Nov. 10 minutes and current bills by unanimous voice vote, and authorized staff to post a vacancy for a full‑time police officer after an officer requested part‑time status.
The city attorney told the council: "I have a request from Chief Stuckey to for permission to post a position for a full time police officer," which prompted the motion to post the vacancy and a council vote to approve the posting. The attorney also reported an appraisal for an easement to the lagoon is in progress and should be completed by the next council meeting.
Council approved several building permits by motion, including a storage-building relocation on Burrell Street, an electrical permit for UPS on Bashaw Road, an HVAC installation on Lakewood Drive, and a mobile‑home permit for Old Highway 43 Lot 21 (Williams Trailer Park). The council also voted to cancel its second meeting in December (scheduled for Dec. 22) and to permit staff to close the office on Dec. 26 if coverage is insufficient; both motions passed unanimously.
Members repeatedly noted a rise in the city's liability-insurance bill for the month, describing it as a statewide trend; the meeting transcript records the insurance cost "went up a good bit" but does not specify the dollar amount. The session concluded with a unanimous motion to adjourn.
Next steps: the council will publish the police vacancy and continue the advertised hiring process. Specific vote tallies were not recorded in the public transcript; motions were recorded as passed unanimously.
