Council swears in Nathan James, reappoints Officer Patrick Martin
The Washington City Council unanimously approved two personnel items at its Sept. 21 meeting, appointing Nathan James to a six-month probationary full-time police officer position and reappointing Officer Patrick Martin.

“I'd like to introduce to you Nathan James,” a staff presenter said when introducing James to the council, after which the council voted in favor and James was sworn in, with family members present. Officer Patrick Martin’s one-year reappointment also passed unanimously. Both votes were taken by voice roll call and recorded as approved.
