Smith Center police report heating failure, to seek vehicle grant and AEDs
Summary
Chief Jamie Marshall told the council the police department’s heating unit is failing; he said the department will investigate grant funding for a replacement vehicle, will look into acquiring AEDs and is developing a scooter safety course.
Chief Jamie Marshall updated the Smith Center City Council on facility and equipment issues at the Jan. 26 meeting, saying the police department’s heating unit was not working properly and that Dave’s Heating and Cooling had inspected it.
Marshall said there was no update on the Tahoe vehicle and that the department will explore grant opportunities to replace or add a police vehicle. Council President Chris Cole asked for the status of acquiring automated external defibrillators (AEDs); Marshall said he would look into it. He also told the council the department is working on a scooter safety course.
The minutes record these items as departmental reports; no formal motions or funding allocations were recorded in the meeting minutes for the heating unit repair, vehicle acquisition or AED purchase. Chief Marshall is listed in attendance as Jamie Marshall; the minutes do not provide roll-call vote tallies related to these departmental items.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the police department will continue to investigate grant options for a vehicle and follow up on AED availability and the heating unit repair.
