POLICE DEPARTMENT.
New Officers. Chief Racine introduced David Zuehlsdorf who
recently moved from California and Wade Kollar from Florida, both
of which are joining the Department. Both officers come with
experience and were highly recommended. Clerk O'Connor conducted
a swearing in ceremony. The Committee extended their
congratulations to the officers and welcomed them and their
families to Estes Park.
Request Authorization to Purchase Two Vehicles. Chief Racine noted
that the 1994 Budget included $30,000 to purchase two patrol cars
which will replace two existing unmarked vehicles. Fleet Manager
Shanafelt prepared bid specifications and the low bid, in the
amount of $25,353.12 with trade-in, was submitted by Burt
Chevrolet. In addition, the Police equipment will be stripped from
the existing Jeep Cherokee, converting it into an unmarked vehicle.
Additional Police equipment and labor to prepare the two new patrol
cars is $5,692.67. Funding for this equipment will be provided
from the Vehicle Equipment budget line item. Staff is satisfied
that the Chevy Caprice is a reliable vehicle. The Committee
recommends approval of the request, authorizing the expenditure of
$25,353.12 from Burt Chevrolet, plus $5,692.67 for vehicle
equipment.
REPORTS.
The Sheriff's Department is in the process of installing a C.A.D.
System for booking, records and statistics, therefore, the monthly
report is unavailable.
Following conclusion of the meeting, the Department will conduct a
tour of the "Shoot/Don't Shoot" training program. Officers are not
only trained in marksmanship, they receive training on
judgement/split-second decisions.
The Committee recognized Adam Krier who is taking part in the
School "Shadow Program". Adam will join Lt. Filsinger for the day.
Correspondence was also reviewed.
There being no further business, Chairman Hix adjourned the meeting
at 8:49 A.M.
