Narrows council swears in new council member, introduces new police officer and approves small community expenditures
Summary
The council administered an oath to a newly seated council member, introduced a new police officer, approved paying a local artist up to $599 for holiday window artwork and voted a $500 donation to the Giles County Christian Service Mission, and approved grant paperwork required for a CDBG urgent-need grant.
The council administered the oath of office to the individual named in the agenda and recognized a new police officer alongside routine small expenditures and policy approvals.
At the start of the meeting the chair announced an oath of office for Alicia Wayne; speaker S6 recited the oath and identified herself as Alicia d Lang, swearing to serve on the town council for the town of Narrows from Jan. 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2026.
The chair introduced Megan Whited as the town’s newest police officer; Whited was recognized by council members but did not have an extended speaking role on the record.
During unfinished business the council debated compensation for Hannah Farmer for holiday window artwork. Members discussed tax-reporting thresholds and the appropriate payment; the council ultimately approved paying up to $599 to the artist.
Council also considered a request from the Giles County Christian Service Mission and voted to donate $500. Finally, as part of the grant-administration items discussed separately, the council approved a business and deployment plan, a nondiscrimination policy and a grievance procedure required by the CDBG urgent-need grant, and authorized the town manager to sign the documents.
Council members closed the meeting after these actions and reminders about audit materials for the next meeting.
