Background <br />DISCUSSION REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY BOARD <br />By: Givonna Reed Kone, Human Resources Manager <br />Per the City Code, the primary objective of the Public Safety Board is to review administrative <br />and/or operational matters relative to the public safety and to advise the City Council of policy <br />matters relevant to the public safety functions in Ramsey. <br />Staff was recently directed by members of the Personnel Committee to add the Public Safety <br />Board to a future agenda. Committee members expressed an interest in discussing the <br />effectiveness of — and the need for the Public Safety Board. The impetus for this discussion is <br />the infrequency with which the Public Safety Board meets. Over the last nine years the Public <br />Safety Board has met only five times. Typically, boards and commissions meet once monthly. <br />Staff has invited the Fire Chief, the Police Chief and current members of the. Public Safety Board <br />to attend the Personnel Committee meeting on Nov 25, 2008. The current Board members are <br />Tom Anderson, Al Pearson and Suzanne Bollman. In addition to the three resident members, the <br />Public Safety Board includes the following ex- officio members: Mayor Gamec, Council <br />Member Dehen, Chief Kapler, Chief Way and one representative each from the fire and police <br />departments. <br />Personnel Committee Recommendation <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Attachment: City Code, Section 2.03.06, Subd 3 <br />Reviewed By: <br />PC 11 - 25 - 08 <br />, City Administrator <br />G: Administration f lumanResources \Commissionspublic Safety Board\20081discussion— should we d PSH.docx <br />PC CASE# 5 <br />
