Police chief reports cruiser beyond repair, seeks to restore full staffing; speed sign is non-camera
Summary
Chief Pat Fox reported an old cruiser has a blown motor and may be scrapped and said the village is exploring hiring another full-time officer to return to four full-time officers; he clarified that an incoming speed sign is a visual notification only, not a camera.
Police Chief Pat Fox told council the department's old cruiser has a blown motor and multiple issues and may be sold for scrap. He said the village is looking into hiring another full-time officer to return the force to four full-time officers.
Chief Fox clarified the speed device the village is obtaining is not a camera: "the sign we are getting for free is just a visual notification of speed, not a camera or video machine," he said. The council was also told a resolution to dispose of the cruiser is pending and should be ready for the next meeting.
No formal disposal action was taken at the July 21 meeting; the solicitor said a resolution would be presented at the next council session.
