A somber moment begins this week Coffeyville City Commission meeting.

 At Tuesday night’s meeting, the commission began with a moment of silence in memory of former Coffeyville Director of Public Works Jim Bradshaw. Mayor Alec Hendryx led those at the meeting in remembering Bradshaw’s long service to the community.

Bradshaw passed away last Saturday after experiencing what authorities are calling a medical incident while driving near Joplin. He was 63 years old.
