In other business, the commission also:

--Heard a report from Fire Department Chief Barry McDonald. McDonald told the commission that OSHA had conducted an investigation into the fire and police department's reaction to the Corbin Ice Company's ammonia leak.
McDonald said the report found that both the fire and police departments "did everything we were supposed to do by the book."

--Promoted Bruce Rains to Colonel in the police department.
