WF city council expected to name new police chief, interim fire chief

By Bruce A. Fasol
The West Frankfort City council meets in regular session Tuesday night and according to the agenda are expected to name a permanent police chief and an interim fire chief.
One key item is the naming of Jodi Allen as the interim fire chief. The department has been run by its highest ranking personnel since the retirement of Wes Taylor late in 2012.  Also, Shawn Talluto is expected to be confirmed as West Frankfort’s new police chief.  He has been interim chief since Jeff Tharp’s January resignation.
The council will also vote on leasing a space in their business incubator to Irwin Mine and Tunneling Supply.
No action is expected Tuesday but a rate increase for water and sewer customers will be discussed. A vote is expected at the February 26th meeting.
