Department heads reported that Officer Marcus Devers was selected for a regional hostage-negotiator team, Morrow Sewer & Water began Ardmore Avenue water-main construction, and a recent Green Day event collected about 19,000 pounds of shredded paper, two 40-pound containers of prescriptions and roughly two tons of electronics.
At the May 6 meeting, department heads updated trustees on personnel and public-works activity.
In the police report, a department representative said Officer Marcus Devers was chosen for a regional hostage-negotiator team after a competitive selection; the position will require training, including an FBI course. The selection was described as part of mutual-aid arrangements across the region.
Public-works and sanitation updates included a Green Day community collection event that the presenter said attracted roughly 400 cars and collected about 19,000 pounds of shredded paper, two 40-pound drums of old prescriptions and approximately two tons of electronics. Staff noted vehicle backups at one point and suggested operational adjustments for future events.
Water-main work on Ardmore Avenue is underway, staff reported: Morrow Sewer and Water began construction last week and was installing pipe along Ardmore Avenue. The project status was summarized as active construction.
Trustees received the updates during department-head remarks; no formal board actions were taken on these items during the meeting.
