Placeholder Image
At their meeting Tuesday evening, The Statesboro City Council passed the proposed fiscal year 2011 budget, which included the creation of five new positions within the city. In a unanimous vote, the council created the positions of public safety director, fire commander, police commander, police lieutenant for training and chief financial officer. The new jobs were created as a result of the council’s decision to restructure the city’s police and fire departments, eliminating the fire and police chief position and combining the responsibilities into the public safety director position.
