The Fallon City Council convened on Monday, December 21st, for the last meeting of the year. Mayor Ken Tedford presided over the meeting, happy to be in attendance after a brief absence to recover from COVID-19.
Fallon resident Geoff Knell offered public comment, taking a few moments to read some scripture and thank you! the council for their hard work throughout the year.
City of Fallon Police Captain Christ Alexander reported on the November calls and arrests, which decreased slightly from those reported in 2019. Alexander stated the downturn was most likely due to COVID, with residents spending more time at home. The Captain also mentioned that the police department continues to keep officers and residents safe by limiting in-person contact and remaining outside of homes whenever possible when responding to calls. Alexander said the numbers for the animal shelter were also down from last year.
Councilwoman Karla Kent thanked Alexander for his efforts. She also commented on the new solar speed panel that was placed by Laura Mills Park. Kent stated that she thought it was a good idea to control speeders in that area.
Councilwoman Kelly Frost thanked the Fire Department for escorting Santa around neighborhoods last Friday night during their fire truck parade. Councilman Richardson thanked the Fire Department as well, saying, "These are strange times."
Mayor Tedford and the City Council wished the City and the community a very merry Christmas.
