POLICE Police Chief Chris Skinrood explained the January 2022 report
shows substantially lower numbers than last month, not sure why,
but we will see what happens with the February numbers. It was
announced last week that Officer Madison Crowdes was selected
to be the next K-9 Officer. There was a dog purchased last week
and we are in the naming phase now. She leaves the next two
weeks and will be gone 6 weeks for training. Questions were
answered from the Board about the new dog and various theft
issues.
PUBLIC WORKS Public Works Director Tom Wooddell announced that his crew is
preparing for this week's snow event. Next week is President's
Day, so trash will be pushed back to Saturday. We hope that it will
not be pushed this Saturday, but that will depend on the snow. As
soon as something is known, Robin will be getting it on the
website. There was a discussion of possible commingling of trash
and recycle by our trash company, and Tom assured the Board
that he will visit with the company regarding this issue.
