The Timpson City Council will have a regular monthly meeting at 5:30 p.m. today.

Among the regular agenda items for discussion and possible action will be accepting and approving a rate increase of $7,125 a year for health insurance through the TML for 11 city employees.

In addition, council will consider adopting the preliminary budget for water/sewer and electrical departments for 2015-16.

An old item to revisit will be a request by Council members George Grace, Janell Baker and Ronnie Wolfe to designate a separate checking account for the police department.

Timpson Council will also consider decreasing the minimum bid of $250,000 on the less than 1-acre piece of property adjacent to city hall, the old Cobb Lumber Co.

Among the other agenda items will be possible action on a termite job on the community building at SoSo Park; repair of the 2009 police cruiser; and a rate of pay increase for City Secretary Leslie Leathers after her 90-day probationary period and increasing pay to $18 per hour.
