even more so in garaging and storage. The area for the Department Secretary and Data Entry Person is not at all conducive to producing a relaxed and work enhancing atmosphere. Because of the small area the noise factor sometimes becomes quite stressful. At any given time there can be two printers working along with one typewriter, two fans, two police monitors, two ringing phones and the voices of several persons. Frequently there is also a disturbing, high pitched whine coming from the air system ducts. The present air conditioning system does not work properly for the police department areas necessitating the proliferation of small fans. The Chief's office is adequate however the Investigator's area is not in that with his desk, computer terminal, file cabinets and typewriter with stand there is scant room for persons who may be there for interview. The patrol area, while it seldom has more than two persons in it at one time is becoming very crowded with supplies and various devices. The officers must try to compile their reports in the same room where persons may be using the copy machine or other officers are using their lockers or personnel are using the toilet facilities. If the Investigator is using his office the officers have no .place to interview suspects, witnesses or complainants in an atmosphere conducive to establishing a good rapport. The small garage in the lower level accomodates one vehicle and in the winter this is valuable since it is a heated area and the officers can move an iced up vehicle in for thawing during bad spells in the weather. There are times however that this area is also used for items of evidence such as motorcycles, ATV's, outboards, bicycles, etc. We also have to use it on occasions to process items for fingerprints and to do photography. The adjacent storeroom is filled with records, found property and smaller items of evidence as well as first aid supplies and some squad equipment and Crimewatch materials. The lack of garage space does cause some concerns with security of the police vehicles when they are sitting outside and there are no personnel at the city hall. During inclement weather in the winter months there is also a delay in preparing a squad for service when there has been or is an ongoing ice/snow storm. This was not a great problem during this past winter except that there were a few times the cars did not start in the cold. I also believe that the temperature extremes are not good for some of the electric and camera equipment. SUMMARY OF CURRENT CONDITIONS: With eight patrol officers, an investigator and a chief along with two officer persons we are just getting by considering the demographics, geographics, call load and mission facing us. It is a tribute to the personnel involved that we offer the services to the citizens that they currently receive. We have no redundancy, good or bad, built in to this department and certainly there is no "fat" At the current level we are not preparing for the future. FUTURE YEARS; 1992 THROUGH 1996.
