Councilmember Woestehoff asked Police Chief Katers if there is a desire for the current CSO to <br />become a sworn in officer. <br /> <br />Police Chief Katers shared that is a potential as they always look to hire internally. He stated they <br />are asking for this change due to the hiring challenges they have faced. He shared that the current <br />CSO has helped alleviate calls from the police officers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the current schedules of CSOs. <br /> <br />Police Chief Katers stated that with this change the schedule would be more consistent as the part- <br />time CSOs are students and their work schedule works around their school schedule. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the full-time position counts towards the metric of the number <br />of police officers per the number of residents. <br /> <br />Police Chief Katers stated that CSOs are not considered part of a licensed position so they do not <br />count in the metric. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the part-time position being discussed is for 2023 or 2024. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher stated it would be for hiring in January or February of <br />2023. <br /> <br />There was a consensus of the Council to eliminate one part-time Community Service Officer <br />position and increase Ms. Katie McNally from 25 hours per week to 40 hours per week. <br /> <br />2.02: The Waterfront - Status of Community Building/Splash Pad Planning and COR <br />Study Update <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood reviewed the staff report and gave <br />an update on the proposed community building and splash pad. He shared that the COR public <br />infrastructure analysis will be completed in the coming weeks. He introduced Greg Houck, the <br />architect on the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Houck continued the discussion of the project by reviewing the site plan and sharing his <br />architectural credentials. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked about parking. <br /> <br />Interim Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood shared that they will be working <br />through the numbers with the square footage but think that most of it will be on-street parking and <br />possibly more adjacent to the park. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked about the capacity of the splash pad. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / December 13, 2022 <br />Page 2 of 9 <br /> <br />
