A Monday night five-hour, 10-minute Bangs City Council meeting, which included an hour and 40 minute executive session, began with Marisa Craddock - who ran unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election - being sworn in as the fourth member of the Council.

The Council now consists of Craddock, along with Danny Marney, Eric Bishop and Mayor Pro Tem Carrol Wells, all of which were in attendance.

Following the executive session, the Council approved a committee consisting of City Attorney Pat Chesser, City Administrator Stephanie Jester, and Bishop to follow up on the state and operations of the Bangs Volunteer Fire Department.
