Mayor Gamec inquired if there are funds included in this year's budget to expand the parking lot <br />at that fire station. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied that the expansion of the parking lot would occur this spring in <br />conjunction with the spring street maintenance program. <br /> <br />Board Member Pearson inquired if it was possible to light the entrance into the fire station. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied that he would look into having the driveway lit. <br /> <br />POLICE DEPARTMENT ISSUES <br /> <br />Case #8: Department Structure Discussion <br /> <br />Police Chief Way reviewed the current structure of the Police Department and what he was <br />recommending to be changed. It was his recommendation to change First Sergeant Dwyer's <br />position to a Captain position to better define the Number two position. The pay would not <br />change in that situation. The other change he would like to make is eliminating the Corporal <br />position and replacing it with a Sergeant position so that there is a Sergeant that oversees each <br />shift. As a Corporal, the person is very limited to what they can and can't do. The change in that <br />position would amount to a cost increase of about $60.00 a month. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Paplham, seconded by Board Member Pearson, to recon~nend that the <br />Police Department structure be amended as presented by Chief Way. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Mayor Gamec inquired as to where the additional funds would come fi'om <br />for the change. Police Chief Way replied that the additional costs have already been budgeted <br />for 2003. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Board Members Pearson, Gamec, <br />Lewandowski, Paplham, and Ward. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />1) Students Walking to School <br /> <br />Board Member Gamec inquired as to how it has been going with kids walking to school this <br />year. <br /> <br />Board Member Paplham replied that the Police Department has not had one incident yet this <br />year. <br /> <br />Police Chief Way stated that he would have preferred that the speed limit would have been <br />reduced all clay rather than before school and after school. <br /> <br />Board Member Gamec stated that he would research that issue further. <br /> <br />Public Safety Board/January 16, 2003 <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
