Kudos Korner — Keith Fulgium, Cole Stapp, Daniel Bohanon, Casey Zamora, Kevin MacKenzie, and Greg Trickey in the Police Department — While investigating a call, it was determined that a woman and her son had been sleeping in her vehicle after a roommate stole their rent money and they were evicted. These officers contributed their own money to pay for a motel room for nine (9) days until her next pay day. Their actions went above and beyond what is required and we appreciate their dedication and service to the community. January 11, 2016 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 10 I.
