A contracted employee with the city will be warned for the third time about spending money without approval.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen were shocked to discover another bill from Johnny Staples on work at the Yazoo Community Complex that had not been approved.
Staples is a contracted employee with the city and is serving as director of the complex at the former junior high school. Although he has a budget, he has failed to bring purchase orders and other necessary forms for approval from the board.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
