Reserves-There was a discussion that Reserves had always been hand picked in the <br /> past. Commissioner Kays suggested that we take the reserves out of the hiring <br /> process for Police Officers. He said if an applicant isn't chosen for one of the Police <br /> Officers positions, we could look at them for possible Reserves. We have two <br /> openings for Reserves at this time. To date, there are 6 applicants. Tyler Stahley was <br /> present to show his interest in a Reserve Position. <br /> <br /> Johnson Co. offers the 240 hour school once a year. Marion Co. runs five, 40 hour <br /> pre-basic schools. The Commission wants Tim Currens to write up an SOP <br /> regarding the Reserve hiring process and requirements. <br /> <br /> Captain Allen said we could actually do our own 40 hour pre basic class here. <br /> However, we do not have the man power to conduct a class for an entire week. That <br /> is why we send our people to Johnson or MarionCo. <br /> <br /> SOP's- The commission decided to table this until the next meeting due to the fact <br /> that Tim Currens is not present. <br /> <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> Update on the two new Officers-Officer Downing has been released from the FTO <br /> program. To date she has done 4 investigations and made some arrests. Officer <br /> Pugh is scheduled to go solo in 1 week. <br /> <br />Dr. Knierim talked about the Town Councils Budget Meeting. He said that <br />$1,000,812.00 was approved for the Police Budget. In December, they will decide on <br />salaries/raises. The Commissions stated that they were pleased with the outcome. <br /> <br />Chief Viles talked about power glitches at the P.D. Electrical circuts need to be re- <br />done. Our grounding field is good. B & L is doing some major repairs and upgrades <br />to our antenna. Possible cost for this project is $25,000, which is in the budget. <br /> <br />IDACS 2000 will be coming in October. Major construction and upgrades are in the <br />near future. <br /> <br />Steve Eltzroth recognized that Chief Viles was recently appointed to the IDACS <br />Board by the Chief of Police Association. The Commission congratulated him. <br /> <br />Next meeting October 20, 2003 <br /> <br />Commissioner Kays motioned to adjourn. Commissioner Berwick seconded. <br /> <br /> <br />
