Plain City council approves appointments, committee-term changes and donates inoperable tasers
Loading...
Summary
Council authorized the donation of inoperable tasers for demonstration to a criminal justice program, appointed Sean Gardner and Caleb Mason to local boards, and amended term expirations for multiple committee members.
At the meeting the council approved a motion to authorize the chief of police to donate unneeded, inoperable tasers and holsters to a criminal justice program (transcribed as the "tolls criminal justice program"). An unidentified speaker described the tasers as unusable for enforcement and suitable only for demonstration.
"We just wanted to reiterate these tasers of no value. They're not operable," the speaker said, explaining the items cannot be reactivated and are being made available for training or demonstration purposes.
The council moved and approved multiple appointments: Sean Gardner was appointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission with a term to expire Dec. 31, 2029; Caleb Mason was appointed to the Board of Zoning Appeals with a term to expire Dec. 31, 2030. The votes were recorded on the transcript as carried by the membership present.
Council also amended committee term expiration dates for several personnel and finance CIP committee members: Logan Hogreff (new expiry 12/31/2029), Beth Pothos (12/31/2028), Lauren Giano (12/31/2027) and Melissa Pollam (12/31/2026). Each amendment was moved, seconded and recorded as passing in the meeting record.
The meeting moved on after routine confirmations and adjourned following a motion to close the session. The transcript does not record detailed discussion about nominees' backgrounds, nor does it identify the specific criminal-justice program receiving the tasers beyond the phrase used in the record.
