During a recent government meeting, the council approved a revised agenda that included a police update as a key item. The meeting began with a motion to amend the agenda, moving the police update to item six, which was unanimously accepted.
The consent agenda was subsequently approved, encompassing several items including the payment of claims, minutes from the previous meeting, a contract for professional audit services through 2026, and resolutions for upcoming community events such as the Harrison Bay's Carp Fest and Our Lady of the Lake Incredible Festival. All items on the consent agenda passed without opposition.
In the police update, the department reported no significant crime spikes over the past two weeks. However, a notable incident involved a car chase of a stolen vehicle that originated in Plymouth. The chase, which was aided by the department's flock camera system, ended in Spring Park after a brief pursuit and the use of a pit maneuver. The suspect was apprehended following a foot chase.
The police report also highlighted various incidents including driving while intoxicated (DWI) arrests, narcotics-related traffic stops, thefts, and scams. Additionally, the department addressed the aftermath of recent storms that caused power outages, noting effective collaboration with public works and the fire department to manage the situation.
The meeting concluded with a reminder about ongoing issues with solicitors in the area, with the police encouraging citizens to direct them to City Hall for the necessary permits. Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community safety and engagement.
