City of Craig Parks and Recreation Department Director Ryan Dennison should remember Tuesday night’s city council meeting for a long time, considering it was the first time councilors pushed a department to ask for more funding.
Dennison approached councilors Tuesday night asking for the approval of of a $20,000 contract for Rhema Music & Clothing and instead received “no more than” $85,000 to spend on entertainment through Rhema Music’s James Williams, who will serve as sort of pseudo master of ceremonies at the 2021 Whittle the Wood event.

Five days after interviewing with Craig city council members, David Bruce Cummings – who goes by Bruce – was appointed to city council Tuesday night following a secret ballot vote.
Council members had the option of appointing a council member through a motion, or conducting a secret ballot vote. Council members unanimously decided to conduct a secret ballot vote, leading to the appointment of Cummings to council. He will replace outgoing Councilor Tony Bohrer, who will transition to his role as a county commissioner in January after nearly eight years on council.
