City Council Approves Budget Amendment to Replenish Emergency Funds
The City Council considered an ordinance to amend the 2026 appropriation ordinance. This amendment, number three, is to replenish funds in the general fund, specifically $20,000, that were unexpectedly used for legal expenses related to the Winchester Boulevard roundabout project and a disagreement with Casto. The goal is to restore these emergency funds for the remainder of the year. The council also moved to waive the second and third readings for this ordinance.
Sheriff Reports on Increase in Car Break-ins; Urges Residents to Lock Doors
During the Fairfield County Sheriff's report, Sergeant Strong provided an update on recent car break-ins. He noted that several incidents occurred this morning, with the involved vehicles being observed leaving town but not stopping for police. These break-ins, occurring between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m., appear to be crimes of opportunity, with car doors left unlocked. The Sheriff's department is continuing efforts to combat these incidents. Sergeant Strong also advised residents to keep car doors locked and not leave valuables inside to prevent theft.
