Berry council names museum, delays police tech purchase

The Berry Town Council approved several appointments, selected a name for the town’s new museum and postponed action on a proposed police technology purchase during its regular meeting on July 6. Mayor Mary Lollar called the meeting to order with Council Members Calvin Madison, Russell Madison and Nancy Shepherd present. Council Members Charles Tidwell and Chris Lindsey were absent. The council approved minutes from its June 8 and June 22 meetings. Police Chief Gerald Dedeaux reported the department recently completed a state audit of its new license plate reader (LPR) system and is in full compliance with state law and Criminal Justice Information Services requirements. He said the town has received a public records request regarding the cameras and will provide the requested information.
