10:18
Speaker 2: He also had fourteen.
10:20
Speaker 1: Charges amended to misdemeanor charges of second degree sexual abuse,
10:24

10:28
the misdemeanor charges will run concurrent with the felony charges.
10:32
Spalding has also ruled that Cecil has no contact with
10:35
the victims or their immediate family, and he must register

as a sex offender for life. Reid received twenty years

10:59
run current with the felony charges, and must not have
11:02
any contact with the victims or their immediate family, and
11:06
register as a sex offender for life. And I should
11:09
note that when I said Cecil should have no contact
11:12
with a victim, it should have said with their victims
11:15
or their immediate family, not Cecil's immediate family. Troopers with
11:20
Kentucky State Police Post fifteen obtained arrest warrants for both
11:24
Cecil and Reed, and the duo was arrested on August

12:10
one one day in county wide water bills was approved
12:12
by the Springfield City Council on Tuesday, July eighth. The
12:16
Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP board requested an increase
12:21
from two dollars per month to three dollars with an
12:24
automatic annual cost of living increase to fund the hiring
12:27
of two additional full time dispatchers at the nine to
12:30

12:34
of the Dispatch Center, calls to the center are increasing,
12:37
and he has two dispatchers on duty dary peak hours,
12:41
but about half the time there is only one dispatcher
12:43
on duty at the call center. Kevin designed Director of

the Office of Emergency Management so that it would require
12:50
a two dollars per month increase in the SEE to
12:53
fully fund the two positions. The new request has been
12:56
approved by the city, but must also get approval from
12:59
county maps districts. The Washington County Fiscal Court rejected his
13:03
request for a two dollars increase in June and will
13:06
probably address the latest request as a physical court meeting
