(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council members approved the recommendation from Mayor Shawna Bindle to appoint Patrick Stamper as the new Assistant  Chief of Police Monday evening.

Stamper has been serving as a Sergeant with the Department.  He will replace Jamie Baker who is the new Chief of Police in Falls City. 

The Council took no action on a bid proposal from the Olsson company in an amount of nearly $12-thousand to conduct a traffic study. Council members felt the proposal was more limited in scope than what they wanted done.  

In other business the Council approved requests from the Chamber of Commerce for Lemonade Days July 10 and the Cobblestone Festival beginning August 12.   

It was noted during the meeting that Sam's Amusements will not be part of the Cobblestone Festival this year.  RockIT Event Pros will provide rides and attractions no Stone Street but will only be operating on Saturday of the Cobblestone Festival.
