Police report: 22 calls in July including UFO Days incidents; officer vacancy persists
Summary

At the Aug. 12 meeting Jason Severson presented the Police Report, summarizing that the police department recorded 22 calls for service in the village, six of which were related to UFO Days. The minutes note several vandalism incidents tied to the event were addressed and those involved completed community service, with Dawn Toth thanked for overseeing that process.
