City Manager’s report: staff recognition, SNAP food drive and new K-9 'Chaos' welcomed to Sweetwater Police
Summary
City Manager announcements included congratulations to Josh Hartman for earning a Class B groundwater license, a SNAP food drive open through Dec. 13 for senior grocery bags, and the introduction of K-9 'Chaos' and handler Officer Jeremy Wolfer to the Sweetwater Police Department.
During routine reports, City staff congratulated Josh Hartman of the Water Department for earning a Class B groundwater license, noted details of the upcoming SNAP food drive for senior grocery bags and the donation window through Dec. 13, and introduced K-9 "Chaos," a one-year-old Belgian Malinois joining the Sweetwater Police Department.
The city noted the Class B groundwater license requires 160 hours of classroom training and several years of on-the-job experience. SNAP organizers are collecting canned and nonperishable items as well as monetary donations; donations will be accepted at city hall and through SNAP until Friday, Dec. 13.
On public safety, staff said K-9 Chaos was rescued and provided specialized training at no cost to the department; Officer Jeremy Wolfer traveled for training and is certified with the dog in narcotics detection, tracking, article search and criminal apprehension. "We are confident that Chaos will be an invaluable asset to the department and to the safety of our community," City staff said.
The announcements were made as part of the City Manager’s Report and required no council action.
