Summary

Council introduced part‑time officer D'Ante Barginere, approved purchases including new computers and a Lexipol policy subscription, and heard about an AED acquisition plan and two new radar speed signs for Main Street.

At its July 15 meeting the Glandorf Village Council introduced D'Ante Barginere as a new part‑time police officer who will work increased daytime hours.

Fiscal Officer Sharon Stechschulte reported the village is researching which automated external defibrillator (AED) unit best fits local needs and is pursuing grant opportunities; she said that if grants are not identified soon the village will proceed with a previously approved purchase to ensure an AED is available by the start of flag football season. Police Chief Jared West said he may have an extra unit and will verify its condition.

Council also approved purchases to support public safety and operations. Doug Trombley moved and Scott Buckland seconded approval to buy new computers for the maintenance building and a police cruiser because the existing machines cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, which is mandated by Oct. 14; the motion passed unanimously. Chief West asked for a subscription to the Lexipol Law Enforcement limited Command Structure Policy Manual at a cost of $1,575 (with a 10% Ohio Plan discount); Zachary Klausing moved to approve and Scott Buckland seconded. The council approved the Lexipol subscription and members noted Hylant Administrative Services will reimburse 50% of that cost in the first year.

The council was also told that two solar‑powered radar speed signs are on hand and will be installed on Main Street soon to help slow traffic.

None of the items included a recorded vote against; where reimbursements or grants were mentioned, council directed staff to pursue those opportunities before or alongside purchases.
