The Lexington City Council’s special hearing on whether or not to terminate Police Chief Troy Sims has been postponed another week,

According to the city’s Facebook page, the attorney for Chief Sims says that Sims is ill and unable to make it to the hearing that had been scheduled for Wednesday evening. The hearing will now take place September 18th at 6 p.m. at The Lex auditorium. Sims’ hearing had originally been scheduled for August 28th but postponed after an over-capacity crowd at City Hall made it unsafe to proceed there.

Original story follows:

Lexington Police Chief Troy Sims could end up out of a job after a hearing scheduled for Wednesday evening at The Lex auditorium.

The Lexington City Council will meet in special session Wednesday at 6 p.m. to hear allegations of misconduct. An overflow crowd at City Hall two weeks ago prompted the council to delay the hearing and allow it to take place at a larger venue. While the public is welcome to attend, courtroom decorum will be enforced, and no public comment or audience participation will be allowed. The specifics of the allegations Sims is facing will not be disclosed by city officials until the hearing begins.
