Police Department Issues <br /> <br />Department Structure Discussion <br /> <br />Police Chief Way reviewed the current structure of the Police Department With some <br />recommended changes. He recommended restructunng the Department by creating a Captain <br />position to better define the role of the second in command within the Department apart from the <br />role of the Sergeants. The pay scale for the proposed Captain position would be the same as the <br />current pay scale for the First Sergeant position. Chief Way's other recommendation was to <br />eliminate the Corporal position and replace it with a Sergeant position so that there is Sergeant <br />supervision for each of the three daily shifts within the Department. The change in'pay for the <br />third Sergeant position would amount to a cost increase of about $60 per month. The Public <br />Safety Board recommended that the Police Department structure be amended as presented by <br />Chief Way. This item is being placed on the Personnel Committee agenda and request for <br />Council action will be made at that time. <br /> <br />Council Action: No action is necessary as this issue will be dealt with during the Personnel <br />Committee discussion. <br /> <br />Students Walking to School <br /> <br />It was reported that there have been no incidences relating to'the added activity of more children <br />walking to school. Chief Way commented that he would have preferred that the school zone <br />speed limit be reduced' all day rather than just the hours of before and after school2 Mayor <br />Gamec stated that he would research that issue further. <br /> <br />Council Action: No action is necessary. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Fire Chief <br />Police Chief <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 01/28/03 <br /> <br />-95- <br /> <br /> <br />
