Sergeant Repola was congratulated by the Committee for his 71 years as a police officer in Estes Park. Victim's Assistance: Victim's Assistance Coordinator Goelz presented a packet describing the victim's assistance program. The local program works in conjunction with the Larimer County Sheriff's Department. Grants have provided funding for the initial program; however, it becomes the responsibility of each locality to acquire future funding. Coordinator Goelz presented a proposal that would include a surcharge on each fine/ticket issued. Recent changes in Municipal Court procedures could possibly help the victim's assistance program as most cases will be written into municipal court in lieu of county court. The Committee agreed that the Victim's Assistance Program should be continued and recommends that Attorney White clarify TABOR restrictions on a plan to raise funds to continue the Victim's Assistance Program, and that the Committee discuss this matter further at a future meeting. Chairman Gillette thanked Coordinator Goelz for bringing this important issue to the attention of the Committee. Administrator Klaphake added that the possibility of obtaining liability and workman's compensation for active volunteers is being discussed. Coordinator Goelz announced her office, which is presently in Room 104, may be relocated to second floor in the future. FIRE DEPARTMENT No report.
