WEBVTT 00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:07.900 - Ladies and gentlemen, if we could call this meeting to order. Welcome all of you. Special thanks to 00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:15.671 - Jennifer for joining us and assisting with the logistics. I would like, I don't know if it was done 00:00:15.671 --> 00:00:23.596 - in my absence, but acknowledge the help that we received from Sarah, who's moved into a new position, 00:00:23.596 --> 00:00:28.958 - I guess, with the department. She did a great job and wish her well. 00:00:30.466 --> 00:00:41.180 - First order of business is to approve the consent agenda. Are there any additions, corrections to that 00:00:41.180 --> 00:00:52.101 - agenda? Hearing none, I would entertain a motion to approve that agenda. So moved. Second. All in favor? 00:00:52.101 --> 00:00:58.238 - Aye. The motion is approved. Do we have claims to approve? 00:01:00.706 --> 00:01:15.087 - So Russell the minutes and the claims and the payroll are all part of that consent agenda so they've 00:01:15.087 --> 00:01:27.902 - been approved so we can move on to police department business yes and at what point do we 00:01:28.066 --> 00:01:37.956 - the promotions. Those are going to happen towards the end of police. So police department business they're 00:01:37.956 --> 00:01:47.199 - going to get when you get down to personnel issues. Got it. Thank you. Thanks Tim. Did we pass over 00:01:47.199 --> 00:01:57.182 - that? Yeah. We did. We've got to certify that. The executive session. So basically you just need to certify 00:01:57.602 --> 00:02:05.886 - You that we had that we had it and only discussed the. The personnel issues for promotion. We didn't 00:02:05.886 --> 00:02:14.498 - have any other discussion and we didn't vote. Are you? Do you certify that that happened? Can we certify 00:02:14.498 --> 00:02:22.781 - that that happened? Yes, that's just you. Did is that I'll certify that. Thank you. Moving on to the 00:02:22.781 --> 00:02:25.406 - police. OK, so for August 2026. 00:02:26.722 --> 00:02:33.770 - So far this year, we're a little bit down on call volume. Don't worry, we'll catch up. Currently 44,018 00:02:33.770 --> 00:02:40.548 - calls as of the time they put this slide together. That's a decrease of about 5,511.2%. Last couple 00:02:40.548 --> 00:02:47.393 - days, we're making up ground. Current year to date, crime totals comparison to last year or the year 00:02:47.393 --> 00:02:54.170 - before. As we've talked about every month, you can see how they go up and down. Some were in excess 00:02:54.170 --> 00:02:56.542 - of, others were doing pretty well. 00:02:57.602 --> 00:03:04.491 - So we'll see how that turns out. Traffic stops, we are up for this month. A little over this figure, 00:03:04.491 --> 00:03:11.380 - 75, 38. I think we're actually in the 8,000s. We had to pull that for another meeting earlier in the 00:03:11.380 --> 00:03:18.337 - week. Crime involving weapons, again, this is something officers are working very hard on. And we are 00:03:18.337 --> 00:03:23.998 - again down this month. Year to date, we're down quite a bit, as you see from 2024. 00:03:27.138 --> 00:03:36.068 - Adult arrests begin down from last year. Juvenile arrests, however, were up, but that's only by two, 00:03:36.068 --> 00:03:45.351 - so statistically not much of a change there. This is not the end of a crime reporting period, so I don't 00:03:45.351 --> 00:03:54.280 - have anything for you in this regard. And our general nuisance called pie chart. Training hours this 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:55.518 - month, 424.5. 00:03:55.874 --> 00:04:02.287 - As you can see, 34 of the officers completed the 2026 legal update, 43 completed a firearms training 00:04:02.287 --> 00:04:08.763 - course, 24 completed a B and B driver's license forfeiture training, 15 completed 94 and a half hours 00:04:08.763 --> 00:04:15.366 - of the Moir mandatory annual training, 14 completed search and seizure, 10 completed nine hours of open 00:04:15.366 --> 00:04:21.842 - field movement and tactical loading training with the Lifeline medical helicopter. We had one officer 00:04:21.842 --> 00:04:24.382 - attend 24 hours of ICAT training in our 00:04:24.706 --> 00:04:30.280 - Kenan Union conducted 16 training hours. Community engagement, there were four this month, 00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:36.589 - 17 hours involved, 13 personnel, you can see what those were. Upcoming is the mini national night out. 00:04:36.589 --> 00:04:43.021 - Actually, that's already gone past, I apologize, but we do have national night out coming up in October, 00:04:43.021 --> 00:04:49.269 - so it doesn't appear on here just yet. And do we have anything else for this month? Community events, 00:04:49.269 --> 00:04:52.638 - no. Community events, no. Police social worker totals. 00:04:52.738 --> 00:04:58.620 - 226 for referrals, 375 for contacts. They had a decent month as far as being able to assist some folks 00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:04.330 - getting into Medicare and SSI. They assisted with some loans and financial and student disabilities 00:05:04.330 --> 00:05:10.269 - for IU, or for student at the IU for upcoming semester. The outreach specialists have really been busy. 00:05:10.269 --> 00:05:16.150 - They've completed some housing assessments for several individuals. They also completed secure housing 00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:18.206 - for an individual at Kins or Flats. 00:05:18.658 --> 00:05:26.553 - And they provided some follow up to some of the folks that were newly housed and some ongoing support 00:05:26.553 --> 00:05:34.293 - for them. We had one here, as you can see, officer responded about 3.30 in the morning to 400 block 00:05:34.293 --> 00:05:42.652 - us out of Walnut. They were able to assist this person and get back on track there. So they got basketball, 00:05:42.652 --> 00:05:45.438 - bowling balls for loom for life and 00:05:45.666 --> 00:05:56.584 - some issues with neighbors and supporting us over life there. A couple more for officers, Jarrett and 00:05:56.584 --> 00:06:07.503 - Diltz. They were able to find some property that had been taken. And now we're coming here. Thank you 00:06:07.503 --> 00:06:14.782 - very much. Per the executive session, I would entertain a motion to 00:06:15.042 --> 00:06:23.007 - approve the promotion of Jeffrey Ridgway to senior officer, police officer? Can we do those together? 00:06:23.007 --> 00:06:30.815 - Effective August 17th. The 17th of August. Correct. And can we bulldoze into the also the promotion 00:06:30.815 --> 00:06:39.249 - of Tanner Snyder? Just do the first one for Jeffrey. First one first? Yeah. All right. So I would entertain 00:06:39.249 --> 00:06:43.934 - a motion to promote Jeffrey Ridgway to officer first class. 00:06:44.610 --> 00:06:51.972 - from Officer First Class, a Senior Police Officer, effective August the 17th. So moved. Second. Second. 00:06:51.972 --> 00:06:59.122 - All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Approved. Also promote Tanner Snyder from Officer First Class, a Senior 00:06:59.122 --> 00:07:06.060 - Police Officer, also effective August 17th. I would entertain a motion to approve that promotion. 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:13.139 - So moved. Second. Thank you. All in favor? Aye. Aye. So moved. So approved. Thank you. Good luck to 00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:13.918 - them both. 00:07:14.434 --> 00:07:22.809 - Thank you. Congratulations. Staffing update under personnel issues. We currently have 93 sworn officers. 00:07:22.809 --> 00:07:31.423 - We have invited 36 applicants for interviews, which will take place throughout the third week of September. 00:07:31.423 --> 00:07:39.400 - So we'll see how that progresses forward. How many of those go on the background will be unknown at 00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:42.590 - this time. How many? 36 for interviews. 00:07:45.890 --> 00:07:52.822 - As far as purchase expenditures, there's nothing really notable this month, just the general things 00:07:52.822 --> 00:07:59.893 - that you see from us. And there was no armor rescue vehicle deployments during this reporting period. 00:07:59.893 --> 00:08:07.034 - Fire department. Hooray. You're up. For July, we're looking, this is our heat map. Had to kind of blow 00:08:07.034 --> 00:08:14.174 - it up because they were so diffuse, we didn't have any hot spots. So I'll give you two views for that. 00:08:15.554 --> 00:08:26.424 - Year to date, 3,615. Medicals still are high point as far as runs. In this month, medical calls were 00:08:26.424 --> 00:08:37.293 - 188. Fire calls were 23. So that gives you, no emergency is 105 for the month. Year to date, 918. So 00:08:37.293 --> 00:08:42.782 - no emergency, that also includes our false alarms. 00:08:43.522 --> 00:08:53.373 - For the month, total runs were 471, which is a 4% increase for the month of July in the past five years. 00:08:53.373 --> 00:09:02.943 - Do you see the difference between IU and city runs? We have that. IU runs make up roughly 10% of this 00:09:02.943 --> 00:09:09.886 - month's runs in July, which is not bad for an empty campus. So not empty. 00:09:11.714 --> 00:09:23.714 - Inspector outreach so far for this year, 1,868 with 129 this month. They have reached 20% of their goal 00:09:23.714 --> 00:09:35.253 - for inspections, so 449 out of 2,250. Year-to-date numbers for our community engagement, so we have 00:09:35.253 --> 00:09:41.022 - had 63 year-to-date smoke detector installations. 00:09:44.578 --> 00:09:51.180 - Training education, so we've had a flash-over training, which is down at our training center. Live fire 00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:57.528 - evolutions, those are for recruits. Those are heavy lists for the training division. It takes a lot 00:09:57.528 --> 00:10:03.939 - of people power to do that. We've had officer-led training, and then we had some specialty training. 00:10:03.939 --> 00:10:10.351 - Abram went to Rope Rescue Tech and Ops in Greenwood. We did some more technical rescue training. And 00:10:10.351 --> 00:10:12.382 - then the Joint Recruit Academy, 00:10:13.570 --> 00:10:24.053 - All of them were finished all their required certifications. So they were sworn in on the 14th and started 00:10:24.053 --> 00:10:33.851 - shift work this week. So we are fully operationally staffed. Mobile integrated health, 17 car seats 00:10:33.851 --> 00:10:43.550 - for the month, 74 for the year. Multiple agencies helped out. 31 different services were provided. 00:10:43.682 --> 00:10:51.118 - And among those would be like home health, housing utilities, insurance, case management, and health 00:10:51.118 --> 00:10:58.701 - department among just a few of them. 20 different referrals from nine different agencies. So they were 00:10:58.701 --> 00:11:06.137 - busy. The team wins. So we had somebody who needed mental health assistance, and they were employed. 00:11:06.137 --> 00:11:12.542 - But now they're employed, and they get free mental health assistance. So that's great. 00:11:13.698 --> 00:11:21.588 - They got somebody approved for vascular surgery, so that was a big lift for that team to do. They did 00:11:21.588 --> 00:11:29.478 - first aid event at Concert in the Park series at Switchyard, and they've been teaching, they teach at 00:11:29.478 --> 00:11:37.754 - the Y, the falls and fall risks, how to minimize that. And then they were able to get a multi-generational 00:11:37.754 --> 00:11:42.782 - family to stay in their home. They were faced with eviction, so. 00:11:45.186 --> 00:11:51.966 - that we didn't have any notes of public interest this month for us. As far as general business, we currently 00:11:51.966 --> 00:11:58.248 - have a vacancy for our MIH, our mobile integrated health care program manager spot. So that position 00:11:58.248 --> 00:12:04.593 - is open right now. We're looking for a replacement hopefully sooner than later. And then as mentioned 00:12:04.593 --> 00:12:11.124 - earlier, reiterating the three recruits that came on shift brings us back up to full staff operationally 00:12:11.124 --> 00:12:14.110 - front line. That's an important fact because we 00:12:14.786 --> 00:12:20.899 - We hit that benchmark and this shows that when we do have vacancies through natural attrition, we're 00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:27.011 - able to refill those and bring us back up to full staff again. So good deal there. Personnel issues, 00:12:27.011 --> 00:12:33.245 - light duty, four people currently on light duty. Hopefully one of those will come off next week. Seven 00:12:33.245 --> 00:12:39.357 - people are currently on intermittent baby bonding. So let's just kind of take it as they need to for 00:12:39.357 --> 00:12:42.686 - bonding with their child. And as far as any purchases, 00:12:43.042 --> 00:12:50.644 - really only just ongoing costs related to the bond project we have going down south. That's still slated 00:12:50.644 --> 00:12:58.029 - for completion September 11th or earlier, so that's right around the corner. So we're looking forward 00:12:58.029 --> 00:13:05.269 - to that being complete. It's the extent of our expenditures. Could I ask a quick question about the 00:13:05.269 --> 00:13:08.382 - baby monitoring? Baby bonding? Yeah, sure. 00:13:08.642 --> 00:13:15.027 - That's different than a leave of some kind for maternity or paternity leave? It's essentially that. 00:13:15.027 --> 00:13:21.477 - So it's technically, in the system, it's parental, it's PFML, so it's parental family medical leave. 00:13:21.477 --> 00:13:28.245 - So it's, I think it's kind of, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe it's like a FMLA treated benefit that's 00:13:28.245 --> 00:13:34.694 - paid so that you can have X amount of time off with your child when it's first born. It doesn't have 00:13:34.694 --> 00:13:38.334 - to be consecutive. So someone may take it all at once or 00:13:38.466 --> 00:13:43.880 - Perhaps they have time, they want to spend. The family that's not in the area, they can delay some of 00:13:43.880 --> 00:13:49.293 - that leave to create that bonding experience down the road. So we just report how many people have an 00:13:49.293 --> 00:13:54.654 - accrued time that they could spend that they have not spent yet. And right now there's seven people. 00:13:54.654 --> 00:14:00.067 - We have a pretty young department. So I think we'll probably have quite a few people in that category 00:14:00.067 --> 00:14:05.587 - for a while. But right now it's seven. Thanks. And it can last until the baby is one year. So you don't 00:14:05.587 --> 00:14:07.710 - have to take the six weeks all at once. 00:14:07.906 --> 00:14:15.002 - Like I said, it's intermittent, but it has to be used up within the first year of the baby's life. That's 00:14:15.002 --> 00:14:22.099 - helpful. I appreciate it. I've not heard of that before. Is it a relatively new phenomenon, a new benefit 00:14:22.099 --> 00:14:28.659 - of sorts? A couple of years. I don't know. Clinton signed into law. It's been around for a while. 00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:35.889 - Thank you. Of course. Appreciate it. I'm going to turn to old business at this point. Is there old business 00:14:35.889 --> 00:14:37.630 - to address? Hearing none. 00:14:37.890 --> 00:14:54.534 - New business. No new business. Petitions and communications from the floor. Anybody online? Apparently 00:14:54.534 --> 00:15:06.654 - not. Well, that being said, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. Second. 00:15:07.490 --> 00:15:12.926 - All in favor? We are adjourned. I want my quarterback from the parking meeting.
