Tenaha City Council approves Employee Handbook, closer to having truck & animal ordinances

After months of discussion, changes and tweaking the City of Tenaha now officially has an Employee Handbook.

 

City Attorney Stephen Shires presented the council the manual and they approved the final revisions at their meeting Monday.

 

Mayor Orinthia Johnson tells us all city employees were given a copy and will be required to read and sign.

 

Johnson also said the council is closer to having an ordinance dealing with trucks and animal control, and setting fines for violators. Dealing with those issues has been a 'hot button' for the Tenaha Council. The mayor advised Shires is researching information and will present an ordinance proposal at the June meeting.

 

New council members were also sworn-in as incumbents Michael Baker and Claudine Howard, and Natalie Harris becomes the first black female council member in Tenaha.

 

Mayor Johnson said there will be a meeting of the Economic Development Advisory Committee at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 26 to discuss how the city and Tenaha ISD can go about receiving reimbursement from Burlington Northern Railroad for the proposed closure of a crossing at Sugar Hill Road and the feed mill.
