Josh Clark fills vacant council position

ODESSA- Mayor Bill Crossley swore in Josh Clark as a new council member at the Town Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 10.

Clark has been a long-time resident of the area and is an assistant coach for Odessa's high school football team.

His term is effective until Dec. 23, 2023.

Clark applied for the position after Amy Gimmestead's departure.

Police Chief Les Jimerson reported that he had two speeding tickets where one driver had no insurance and the other was missing registration.

Jimerson said he had one medical assist, one trespassing and multiple complaints of harassment.

A scammer took $600 and gold from a resident; an investigation is ongoing.

Jimerson warned of the corresponding nationwide scam that the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office reported in September.

There will be a Revenues Resources and a final Water Supply meeting on Monday, Oct 24.

Notices about the meetings will be posted when available.
