The Statesboro City Council will vote today to create a public safety director position about a month after Wendell Turner was appointed to the post, possibly in violation of the city charter. At the 6 p.m. meeting, the council is expected to adopt the fiscal year 2011 budget and balance the 2010 budget. Included with the budget is a revised city organizational chart, which includes the job descriptions for the new positions of public safety director, fire commander, police commander, police lieutenant in charge of training, and chief financial officer.
