Former El Campo police chief returns

El Campo has appointed former Police Chief Terry Stanphill as the interim civilian administrator as they search for a replacement for Chief Gary Williamson, who is leaving on April 7th. The decision was made by a unanimous 6-0 council vote, with Mayor Chris Barbee absent due to recovering from surgery. The city plans to hire a new chief by the summer, and the job has already been posted, according to City Manager Courtney Sladek.
