Clarksville council appoints ambulance driver, recognizes EMT; police reserve officer training noted and equipment needs flagged
Summary
Council approved appointing Doug Harre as an ambulance driver and recognized Bill Wallin’s EMT certification; Police Chief Barry Mackey reported Reserve Officer Rebecca Brown has completed 76 training hours and flagged possible equipment updates because the county is changing weapon types and taser parts are difficult to replace.
At the July 15 meeting the Clarksville City Council approved the appointment of Doug Harre as an ambulance driver and acknowledged crew member Bill Wallin for receiving EMT certification.
Police Chief Barry Mackey reported the department recorded 128 calls for service in June and updated the council on Reserve Officer Rebecca Brown’s training: Brown has completed 76 hours and is pursuing weapon certification. Mackey told the council the department may need to update some equipment soon because the county is changing types of weapons and replacement parts for tasers are not readily available.
The council approved Harre’s appointment on a motion by Jessi Reints and a second by Ruth Saulsbury; the recorded vote by members present was unanimous. No personnel salaries or effective dates beyond the meeting motion were recorded in the transcript.
