The Trion Town Council held their regular monthly meeting for January on Tuesday of this week. Normally, council meetings are held on Thursdays, but the date was changed due to scheduling. The council and mayor heard from the Trion Street Department about paving projects that is being funded in part by a grant which will cover $36,000 of the $50,000 cost. Also, the council voted to inter into an intergovernmental agreement for the Trion Police Department and their participation in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force. The council approved a SPLOST referendum measure and agreed on qualifying fees for upcoming municipal elections. The council also heard from a citizen who had complaints about the Trion Fire Department. The homeowner and her family said that fire fighters used threats and intimidation and did not behave in a professional manner after an electrical issue at their home. Trion Mayor Lanny Thomas told WZQZ News that he and Public Safety Director David Gilleland are looking into the matter, but had no further comment at this time.
