COMMITTEE REPORTS:
PERSONNEL: Mrs. Saxton, Chairman reported as follows: 1) O-4-01 was approved at the last meeting, but not by the number of votes required for legislation scripted as an emergency measure. Thus, the Committee recommends a new Ordinance be prepared as an emergency measure to adopt Chapter 141 of the CO with Section 141.101 reading 40 hours of vacation can be cashed out for the covered employees. 2) Committee recommends that the number of police officers be increased by one to allow an officer to be assigned as a School Resource Officer, funded by the City. (copy of entire report attached to original minutes).
Reports signed by Baker, Douglas and Saxton.
As legislation is not required to add a police officer, a motion was made by Mr. Beamish, seconded by Mr. Howe, to accept the report of the Personnel Committee regarding a School Resource Officer.
Discussion. Mr. Mercer commented that he was disappointed school officials were not present for the decision on the
City providing a school resource officer. Mr. Beamish commented that school officials had been present for the Committee meeting.
