The Piedmont City Council on Sept. 3 approved a package of routine operational items including police training and traffic changes and cleared routine bills and an ABC license transfer.
Chief Nathan Johnson asked the council to allow an officer to receive training for a new police dog at a stated cost of $4,000; Council Member Caleb Pope moved to allow the training and the motion carried. Chief Johnson also requested that the department advertise to fill the position of Officer Doss, who will be leaving for ALEA; Richard Williams moved to authorize advertising and Jubal Feazell seconded; the motion carried. The transcript records ALEA but does not define the acronym.
Council also approved the installation of new stop signs at three locations identified by Chief Johnson: North Church and Bethune Drive; Hart Street and Burger King Drive; and an exit at Mapcoon (spelling as transcribed). Caleb Pope moved to allow the stop signs and David Ivey seconded; the motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved payment of bills totaling $315,613.12 after a motion by Richard Williams and seconded by Caleb Pope. The council also approved an ABC transfer related to Piggly Wiggly on a motion by Richard Williams and seconded by John Lawrence. The meeting record does not provide roll-call details for these items beyond the stated motions and seconders.
These operational approvals were taken alongside personnel and museum funding items; no public comments were recorded.
