Greenwich approves police department app; mayor says he is serving as administrator during vacancy
Summary
The village council approved the police chief’s request to buy the First Two app at roughly $1,200 annually and recorded the mayor’s statement that he is exercising administrator duties until the village fills the administrator position; an employee resigned before planned disciplinary legislation could be considered.
The Greenwich Village Council on March 17 approved the police department’s purchase of the First Two application and recorded administrative steps while the village’s administrator position is vacant.
The Police Chief told council members the First Two application would cost about $1,200 per year; the council approved the department to make the purchase. The minutes do not identify the chief by name or record a formal roll‑call tally for the purchase decision.
Mayor Jane James Twaddle Jaridell told the council he is exercising the powers of village administrator while the administrator position is unfilled. Solicitor Steve Palmer advised that, during the vacancy, contracts will be signed by the mayor and the fiscal officer. Councilmember J. Hunter asked the mayor to maintain an open line of communication with council while the interim arrangement continues.
Councilmember R. Stephens asked about a staff disciplinary matter; the mayor said the employee resigned before the disciplinary legislation reached the meeting agenda. Councilmember L. Phillips asked about a storm sewer on Market Street; the mayor said an investigation will begin and the village’s engineering firm has been contacted to explore emergency funding options.
The minutes show routine approvals of disbursements and the financial statement and note the audit is underway with financials being provided to Courtney & Associates.
