Chief Arata gave update on Police Department CCPD money for current year. $125,000 was set aside for the building for next year, which leaves about $50,000 for the Police Department. $20,000 of that is set aside for technology needs including potentially using Live Scan which is an electronic fingerprinting system. In the past fourteen months, we have updated cars, radios, body cameras and state of the art equipment. Police Department will begin using Ford cars in the future to save approximately $20,000 per vehicle due to installation of parts for free. We are currently down three officers right now, but have a new Sergeant starting March 3,d, Shane Pratt. We have two openings and twelve applicants currently. Chief Arata introduced Julie Swartz as Administrative Assistant as well mentioning the new part time records/CID employee and went over the importance and future of records moving forward using RMS system. We have used volunteers for many uses and they have been very beneficial to the department. No action was taken on this item. 4. Discuss and give direction regarding funding for the new police facility. Steven Glickman, Assistant Town Manager/CFO provided updated information on quotes for building. Our Financial Advisor directs we can get $156,000 average per year for the next 20 years. Board questioned if any security measures were taken out of forecast and would like to ensure that areas needed have cameras and potentially security fence around Police Department parking lot. Their concern is that all security measures need to be taken into consideration, especially since new facility will be right next to the service road of the highway. Mayor Sanders mentioned that many of the changes at the new facility are architectural. Board Member Paul Glowacki recommends proposal on table from CCPD, over the next 20 years, directs funding of $2.35 million for the building on the table. Board Member J.J. Isherwood made a motion to approve the proposal. Board Member Thomas McClain seconded the motion. Motion approved by a vote of 6-0.
