The Toulon City Council will now address the police issue and be prepared to vote on any matter arising from that discussion at their council meeting on Monday night.
The situation came about after alderman Misty Turnbull of the second ward requested the issue of police be included on the agenda, but that request was denied by Mayor Rick Collins.
According to the city attorney Bruce Fehrenbacher, if three council members requested it, Collins could be overruled and that is what occurred Thursday afternoon.

Stark County officials are confirming two robberies have occurred over the weekend in the West Jersey area.
Sheriff Jimmie Dison stated both homeowners were gone over the weekend and arrived home to find their locked doors broken into.
“Somehow they are ascertaining the homeowners aren’t home, probably by acting like they are selling something and waiting for nobody to answer,” said Dison.

The Bradford Village board conducted its monthly meeting August 6 and after discussing the appointment to complete Corey Moodie’s term, no action was taken. There are two candidates vying for the position of trustee. The board decided to table this agenda item until further conversations with the candidates by the appointment committee can be conducted.
The board has set August 22 as the date this year that the Bradford pool will close. With the commencement of schools at that time and unavailability of lifeguards, the board decided use of the pool would decrease dramatically.
