Dispatch and radio communication discussions continue with city leaders as they welcome another firm’s proposal this week.
Charles Grant, with Communication Specialists, appeared before the Board of Mayor and Alderman this week to discuss the options available to the city with radio and dispatch communication.
“We are here to see how we can help you,” Grant said.
The board said the first thing they would like to do in the field of communication is purchase radios for the street department. With an outdated system, the department has no radio communication at the time. They communicate via cell phones.

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.
