As to Norman Reed, Chief Dorsey will be leaving the decision up to the Solicitor and Virgil for future services. Christmas is coming and with the first bad weather day the roads weren’t too bad. The ceremony in the park for Veterans day was really touching and that he was even teary eyed during the event. Zoning with the house on S Kniffin St is ongoing, Chief was advised that the sidewalk was going to be torn out over the weekend but that the coldness might slow it down and a certified letter was sent to the trailer on Townsend St asking them to please come to the Council meeting to explain the situation, but no one has showed up.
