Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting, the Piedmont City Council heard the first reading of Ordinance 644, presented by Mayor Farmer, to establish a pre-trial diversion program in municipal court; Chief Johnson answered council questions. The ordinance is scheduled for a vote at the next council meeting.
Mayor Farmer presented the first reading of Ordinance 644, which would establish a pre-trial diversion program in Piedmont municipal court, at the City Council's Dec. 2 meeting. Chief Johnson answered council members' questions about the ordinance during the discussion. The mayor said the ordinance will be placed on the agenda for the next council meeting for a vote.
The measure was introduced as a first reading only; no final action was taken Dec. 2. Council members asked procedural questions and received answers from Chief Johnson, but the transcript does not record details of eligibility, program administration, funding, or statutory citations. Those specifics were not stated on the record and will need to be provided before a final vote.
The council is expected to consider Ordinance 644 again at its next regular meeting, when members may move for second reading and a formal vote.
