Rainsville, Ala., Mayor Nick Jones and town council members are discussing changing the way the city oversees its departments.

Jones said the town is growing along with its departments, so now could be the best time to make changes.

He said he talked with mayors and elected officials in other towns to see what they were doing.

Councilman David Holt said nothing has been changed in Rainsville so far, but there are some ideas.

“Now, each council person is over a particular department,” Holt said. Discussions in a recent work session concerned splitting responsibility for overseeing each department between two council members, he said.
