Virginia police chief reappointed

At the June 10th meeting of the Virginia City Council, Mayor Randy McClure brought before the council the discussion and appointment of Eric Shumate for Chief of Police. 

Council Member Tommy Knous asked Chief Shumate a question regarding whether or not his availability in hours would be changing. Mayor McClure interrupted Knous telling him this was not the time for that discussion. However, Council member Christa Stanbridge stated that the agenda did state this subject was up for both discussion and approval.
