With the current Lawyer, Richard Day, retiring at the end of the month, the Council agreed to hire Taylor Law Office from Effingham. The Council then voted on the dates of the 2026 meetings, agreeing to keep them for the first Wednesday of every month. The Council then approved the hire of Tristian Overig as a full-time police officer. Saint Elmo Mayor Kim Baron discussed the need for the new hire.
