Mayor apologizes for missed agenda posting, introduces new police chief
Summary
Mayor Rezin D. Hudkins, IV apologized for failure to post the meeting agenda online, said steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence, and introduced Police Chief Robert Adam Titchenal, who began work on April 13, 2026.
Mayor Rezin D. Hudkins, IV opened the April 14 council meeting with an apology for a missed online agenda posting, saying, "I am not denying that at all... we are working to put some things in place to make sure that does not happen again." He told the council and public staff sickness had strained office capacity in recent weeks and said the town will also start uploading agendas to social media.
Hudkins used his report to introduce the town's new police chief, Robert Adam Titchenal, who the minutes record as starting on April 13, 2026. Chief Titchenal told the council he was injured on his last day with his previous employer and "will be on desk duty for a while," indicating limited field duties during initial onboarding. The mayor also listed routine public-works items, economic-development outreach and a community event — the Cartoon Headquarters Family Fun Extravaganza set for April 23–26 at Clarksburg City Park. The council did not take formal action on the introduction beyond accepting the chief's start date.
