Public Safety Committee - Regular Meeting

or called in at this time? Consent agenda? We do have someone called in?

Are they hooked on already then?

So on public comment, if the person called in has anything to say, now would be the time to do it. Otherwise we'll continue with the meeting. Okay, last chance. No public input. Then we'll go ahead with the consent agenda, starting with the minutes from last month. Are there any corrections at all? Then we have the police department monthly report.

Yeah, nothing too drastic as far as changes. May of 25, we had 2,397 calls for service. May of 26, 2,403, so we are virtually identical. Calls for service, yearly totals, Very consistent, we're within a little over 100. Accidents, we are identical, 87 in the month of May of 26 and 25. Year to date, we're a few less than 25, which is good. Also, Commissioner Wilder, you requested that we add OWI numbers. We had none in May of 25, and in May of 26, we've had 15. If there's any other questions that any of you gentlemen have on here, I'd be happy to answer them.

I'm just curious, is that none in 25 because you didn't have the stats, or literally none?

No, it's probably none. Probably, Amber, is that correct? There would be a number there.

They just didn't, the stamps weren't listed previously, so.

We could look it up. No, I'm not worried about it. Okay. Where is that, John? It's in the bottom right corner. Oh, there on the very bottom. Okay, thank you. It does seem unusual. We probably do have a number. Okay. And if you're curious, I can get that to you. Fine with what you provided. Thank you.

Are your departments monthly matrix?

Yeah, again, similar to PD, nothing major to report. Everything's pretty consistent for the first almost half of 2026. We had 587 total calls for service, 480 were for EMS and 107 for fire responses. We did have a slight uptake of structure fires in May, but that just could be an anomaly. Otherwise, again, as opposed to last year, if you really look at the numbers, we're pretty much on par with always just a gradual increase every year for calls for service that way. So again, nothing drastic, nothing really earth-shattering from the department's monthly metrics. And again, if you have any questions, please ask.

Any?

Just a comment, there is not a moving inspection report because the admins were, at least some were out, so there'll be

I did, on that note, if you'd like to, I did talk to the supervisor, Scott Kyle, and just kind of, if you had any input, he basically stated that now that we're in building season, it's gaining traction and more permits have been filed. And also there's an increase in that, the permit applications and the issuance of permits, so that's kind of, we're starting to get in the full swing that way.

Any questions? We have a motion and a second to approve the agenda. All in favor, or the consent agenda, all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? So moved. Then we have item 260513, police department patrol officer eligibility list.

The police department is requesting that Daniel Johnson be added to our eligibility list for up to 12 months. I'm getting these processes a little goofed up, correct me if I'm wrong, but Commissioner Vanderboom, you were on that interview panel for the officer? I may have. Okay, because I know you were on two days ago. I can't remember who was on the officer one, I believe. Mike, were you on that one? Were you on the patrol officer one? No. Two days ago? No, two days. This one was last May or two weeks ago. I'm getting them all mixed up. But anyways, one officer to the eligibility list if you could.

You provided the date on that individual. Anybody have questions at all? Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the list for 12 months. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? So moved. Then item 260514, police department control lieutenant eligibility list.

Yeah, we'd like to add four individuals to our patrolling tenant eligibility list. I know this one for a fact, Commissioner Vanderbilt was on that panel, and we would like to add Officer Matthew Baumann, Officer Tim Plinker, Officer Steve Nolan, and Officer Jacob Chilkos. How long do you want that for? Three months.

I understand that.

Okay, so we have a list of four individuals requested a three month approval. Can someone make a motion, please? I ask I'll follow you on that. I make a motion.

I'll second the motion.

We have a motion and a second to approve the list of Matthew Baughman. Bauman, Timothy Clicker, Stephen Nolan, and Jacob Schilcox for a period of three months. Any questions? All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? So moved. And then I'll take one last motion for adjournment.
