Chillicothe Council met in review session Monday night, and spent an hour and a half discussing possibly hiring an assistant law director - who in part might help train police officers for court testimony.
Law Director Anna Villareal said the issue came up recently and is a very serious problem even in the face of other city vacant positions. Committee chair Dustin Proehl said he needed to consult with the police chief before the next discussion.
Ceil Corcoran also mentioned seeking a grant to expand the Adena Recreational trail to the Coppel Soccer Complex at Veteran s Parkway.

Chillicothe Council met briefly in special session Monday evening and passed all four items on first reading.
Parks & Rec chair Ceil Corcoran explained that her ordinance to pay contractors for repairing the roof on the old armory building in Yoctangee Park is the result of a grant. She said they are required to pay for the work first, and then the $250,000 of city money will be reimbursed by the grant.
She said she was happy to see the company get paid before Christmas, to reduce a little of the suffering this year.
Finance chair Dustin Proehl saw three other ordinances passed. One transferred funds to keep the city s balance in the positive at the end of the year, another set the city credit card policy as required by the state, and the third transferred $125,000 for city income tax refunds.
