The Council approved a first reading of an ordinance that will raise the amount city department heads can spend without seeking Council approval from $3,000 to $7,500. The City may also file a complaint with the state over the condition of Graceland Cemetery. That's after a former resident who now lives in Decatur spoke to the Council about tall weeds and bad roads in the privately owned cemetery.
