Panebianco reported that Lt. Mike Prince had successfully completed his recertification in arson investigation. Noting the "recent fire event in town" Panebianco reported that Prince "was able to determine how and when the fire started before the Fire Marshall arrived at the scene."

The Chief also provided Council with copies of his department's new crosswalk safety brochures, noting that Middleburg officers would begin a survey in December, after the town's Christmas in Middleburg event, to determine of whether motorists or pedestrians were committing the most crosswalk violations.
