Police report lists arrests and gunfire near cemetery; fire department discusses surplus air packs and a carbon monoxide detector grant
Summary
Committee heard a monthly police activity report listing arrests, weapons‑related incidents and a reported gunfire call near the cemetery; the chair discussed fire/EMS calls, clearing title for a ladder truck and suggested surplus of old air packs be referred to the finance committee; a $5,000 grant application for carbon monoxide detectors was also reported.
The committee received monthly reports from public safety departments covering law enforcement activity, fire/EMS calls and public‑health figures supplied by a commenter.
In the police report, department staff listed roughly 99 traffic stops with 12 citations, several traffic accidents, multiple thefts and suspicious‑activity reports, juvenile problems, DUIs, drug and fraud calls, and two firearms‑related assaults that resulted in arrests. Staff also recorded a reported gunfire call near the cemetery; investigators reported no immediate admissions at the scene.
Separately, the chair raised fire and EMS items during the priority department report: the community had eight calls for service in the reporting period, including gas‑smell and CO alarm responses and a small grass fire. The chair said the committee is still working to secure title for a ladder truck and proposed sending older air packs to the finance committee to evaluate surplus or sale.
A member said they applied for a $5,000 Colorado grant to buy carbon monoxide detectors for proactive distribution and swap-outs of faulty units; the meeting noted detector life expectancy is about 10 years. During public remarks, a commenter reported six confirmed COVID cases and 27 influenza cases through January, with two hospitalizations and two deaths; the committee recorded those remarks but did not attribute them to a public health agency.
No formal policy changes or budget approvals were made during the reports item; the committee scheduled further administrative follow‑up for equipment disposition.
