Bonifay City Council Attorney Michelle Jordan submitted her 60 days resignation notice when the council met in regular session on Sep. 11.

 

Jordan did not cite a reason for her resignation. The council approved moving ahead with the process to hire a new attorney.

 

A public hearing was held for former Police Chief Jimmy Macon to come before the council to speak on his termination as part of state statute. Macon did not address the council, nor did he attend the meeting. 

 

Interim Police Chief Johnny Whitaker was sworn into office Monday morning. Whitaker says he is looking to the future. ‘I am looking forward to serving the community, and seeing it grow and prosper.’

 

Bonifay City Council will meet again in regular session at 6 p.m. on September 25.
