Board Member Paul Glowacki called on Chief Arata to give a briefing on the item before action
was taken. Chief explained that in the last year CCPD approved $18,000 for an Evidence
Custodian with the understanding that if the Town fully funded the position that the money
would be reallocated to other uses. The position was funded by Town; therefore the money can
be repurposed. Some suggested uses are for a secure WiFi by the IT Department ($8,000-
9,000), for some needed furniture upgrades on the Police side of the building ($8,000-9,000)
and possibly small equipment. Lou Opipare made a motion to accept. Joe Tellez seconded the
motion.
Motion approved by a vote of 5-0.

years are coming to an end. The Town Council has decided to continue with the Board and set
it for election at the next Council meeting. There will be a decision if the CCPD Board should be
for five,ten or fifteen years and that will be discussed at a later meeting in January, 2018; May is
the upcoming election. No action taken.
4. Police Department update.
Chief Arata gave update on Police Department stating that we have obviously moved into the
new building and we are 98%operational. We are still working on adding officers to staff. We
are also in process of buying two new cars: one is provided by CCPD, the other is provided by
the general fund from the Town. This will make our fleet fairly up to date. LiveScan and other
IT equipment is up and running at office and in cars. Volunteers are being utilized in a much
greater way since we have moved—this includes helping at office and driving around town.
Keith Burris,Juvenile Detective, resigned after thirteen years to pursue a position with his
