Town marshal Tim Sammons said the town website is nearly complete and should be online soon. He asked that council members attend a meeting Monday at 9:30 a.m. at Whitko Middle School regarding security in the schools.
Sammons returned to the question of an M-16 semi-automatic rifle for the department, and council members Mandy Espinoza, Ron Hall and Jim Bumbaugh agreed to the purchase of one gun.
They also approved purchase of a new Ford Explorer for the police department at a cost of $25,972 from Bob Thomas Ford. Kerlin Motors had submitted a quote of $26,917.
The council approved a request from the Palestine, Ill., fire department to transport the Washington Township Fire Department’s ladder truck to their town for a memorial service planned Feb. 23. Palestine will pay for all expenses involved in the transport.
Espinoza was re-elected president of the board.
