This won&#8217;t cost additional money because the police department is very rarely at full staff.<\/li>\n<li>In the around the horn section, all council members praised Public Works for the winter storm response, Fred Shanks &amp; James Buckner brought up Steve Adkins&#8217; idea for replacing the White Mill Dam, John Gilstrap pressed the need for adding police precincts where needed and Lee Vogler introduced an idea for citizens to be able to comment on Council business on the city&#8217;s website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s the quick recap of the business section.
