Another month, another meeting and there’s been no final decision made by the Timpson City Council on whether to possibly reduce their five-member police department by two due to budgetary reasons.

At last night’s meeting before a full-house Mayor Debra Smith said again a motion was made by Councilman Kyle Allen to adopt the amended 2014-15 Budget and keep the police department as is, but failed due to no second.

However, she said Councilman Ronnie Wolfe made a motion to have the city’s attorney come in and discuss with the Timpson Council a possible reduction in force, legally, and that motion passed 3-2, with Wolfe, and Council members Janell Baker and George Grace voting in favor.

Allen and Council member Yvonne Ramsey voting against.

She says there’s been no date set to having the attorney meet with the council.

The Timpson City Council also voted 4-1 to re-instate water/sewer employee Matthews Owens upon passing a medical test. He would be hired back on a 90-day probationary period.
