In his first Statesboro City Council meeting, new City Manager Randy Wetmore had no decision to announce on the anticipated hiring of a police chief. But Thursday in his first official day on the job, Wetmore faced an unexpected decision and acted to close City Hall on Friday while Tropical Storm Hermine passed through. So the council's regular meeting Tuesday followed an expanded Labor Day weekend for some employees.
