The Bridgeport City Council dealt with a number of issues during their July session on Tuesday at City Hall.
After an approximately 30-minute executive session dealing with police department matters, they emerged to announce that the city will start taking applications for a police officer. Mayor Tyler Griffin told GIANT-FM News that the move was made as a precautionary measure to have candidates available should a vacancy arise on the police force. The department currently consists of Chief Danny Ash and two patrolmen.
Griffin also reported the city street department had been busy during the month with water leak repairs in various areas of the city. The council did open and accept bids received for the sale of parcels of city-owned real estate. Those properties had been taken over by the city from the previous owners after going through the legal process for dealing with and cleaning up dilapidated areas of the city.
