[WORK SESSION - 6:30 PM]
[00:00:08]
GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS IS MONDAY, FEBRUARY THE 9TH AT 6:30 P.M. THIS IS THE WORK SESSION AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT. ITEM NUMBER TWO IS INTERIM POLICE CHIEF STEVE DAVIS. THE MAYOR CITY COUNCIL. FIRST ITEM UP IS OUR ANNUAL REPORT. WE SOLICITED DOCTOR HARTMAN. SO WE SOLICITED DOCTOR ALEX DEL CARMEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO DO OUR COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. HE DOES OUR QUARTERLY AUDITS ON OUR RACIAL PROFILING DATA. THIS REPORT IS REQUIRED BY THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND UNDER STATE LAW, WE HAD TO HAVE WE HAD TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION REPORTED TO THE STATE BEFORE MARCH 1ST, AND IT HAS TO BE PRESENTED TO OUR GOVERNING BODY. SO YOU GUYS SAW THAT DOCTOR ALEX DEL CARMEN, TAKE IT AWAY. THANK YOU CHIEF.
GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ALEX DEL CARMEN, THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT ON RACIAL PROFILING AS IT RELATES TO SEAGOVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE SIXTH OR SEVENTH YEAR THAT I DO THIS PRESENTATION. AT TIMES I DO THIS REMOTELY, SO I APPRECIATE INDULGING ME FOR A FEW MINUTES THIS EVENING. THE FIRST AND FOREMOST ITEM THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD IS THAT THIS IS ALL BASED ON THE SANDRA BLAND ACT OR LAW, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY BECAME CAME INTO EFFECT IN 2017. IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. IT ALLOWED US TO REDEFINE WHAT A CONTACT IS, WHICH IS BASICALLY A MOTOR VEHICLE CONTACT THAT A POLICE OFFICER MAKES IN THE COURSE OF A VEHICLE TO VEHICLE STOP ANYTIME THE OFFICER ISSUES A CITATION, A TICKET, A WARNING, OR MAKES AN ARREST, THE OFFICER IS TO REPORT THAT DATA TO US AND TO THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR US TO TO BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT ON TO THE REST OF THE STATE. SO IT REQUIRES THE SPECIFIC ANALYSIS OF THE DATA. IT ALSO REQUIRES THESE DATA AUDITS THAT I PERFORM QUARTERLY ON YOUR DATA TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DATA INTEGRITY IS PRESERVED, MEANING THAT THE DATA THAT YOU'RE COLLECTING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DATA THAT YOU ARE REPORTING. FURTHERMORE, WE LOOK AT COMPLAINTS, ANY COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ON RACIAL PROFILING AT THE OUTCOME OF THOSE AS WELL. WE LOOK AT USE OF FORCE THAT HAS BEEN USED IN THE IN THE COURSE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TO MOTOR VEHICLE CONTACT. WE LOOK FOR THOSE ITEMS, TRY TO EVADE THE STATE FROM IMPOSING ANY PENALTIES FOR YOU ALL NOT COMPLYING WITH THESE PARTICULAR MANDATES. RIGHT. AND SO THE IDEA IS TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT THE DATA, ANALYZE IT, PRESENT IT TO YOU ALL BY MARCH 1ST, AS CHIEF DAVIS MENTIONED. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, SUBMITTED TO THE STATE TO TCOLE BY MARCH 1ST AS WELL. SO ESSENTIALLY, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED IN 2025 THAT THERE WERE NO RACIAL PROFILING COMPLAINTS. THIS IS ACTUALLY COMMENDABLE, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, EVERY SINGLE AGENCY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS REPORTS THE SAME. BUT IT CERTAINLY IS GOOD NEWS, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT NO ONE FELT OR PERCEIVED THAT THEY HAD BEEN RACIALLY PROFILED BY ANY POLICE OFFICER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SINCE 2002, SEAGOVILLE PD HAS BEEN IN COMPLIANCE WITH SENATE BILL 1074, WHICH WAS THE EARLY, EARLIER VERSION OF RACIAL PROFILING AND MORE RECENTLY WITH THE SANDRA BLAND ACT THEY HAVE POSTED IN THE LOBBY AREA THE MANNER IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN FILE A COMPLAINT OR A COMPLIMENT, AND IT ALSO INFORMS THE PUBLIC WHENEVER THERE IS AN OFFICER CONTACT MADE ON A MOTOR VEHICLE, FROM MOTOR VEHICLE TO A MOTOR VEHICLE, THE OFFICER THEN INFORMS THE INDIVIDUAL HOW TO FILE A COMPLIMENT OR A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS ALL IN ACCORDANCE TO SANDRA BLAND. THE DATA SHOWS THAT MOST OF THE CONTACTS THAT WERE MADE WERE MADE WITH MALES.
MOST OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY HISPANIC. OFFICERS CLAIMED TO NOT HAVE KNOWN THE RACE OR ETHNICITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT THEY STOPPED BEFORE THE STOP WAS MADE. MOST FREQUENT REASON FOR A TRAFFIC STOP WAS MOVING TRAFFIC VIOLATION, MEANING THAT THE PERSON WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A TICKET AND MOST OF THE STOPS TOOK PLACE. MOST OF THE STOPS TOOK PLACE ON CITY STREETS, NOT HIGHWAYS OR ANYWHERE ELSE. MOST OF THE STOPS DID NOT RESULT IN A SEARCH OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WERE SEARCHED. THE REASON CITED FOR THE FOR FOR IT TO BE SEARCHED WAS INVENTORY. THIS MEANS THAT THIS IS A NON-DISCRETIONARY SEARCH THAT THE OFFICER IS MAKING. MOST OF THE SEARCHES DID NOT RESULT IN CONTRABAND BEING DISCOVERED, AND THE CONTRABAND THAT WAS MOST FREQUENTLY FOUND IN THOSE SEARCHES WAS DRUGS, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICE. MOST OF THE STOPS RESULTED IN VERBAL WARNINGS. MOST OF THE ARRESTS WERE BASED ON OUTSTANDING WARRANTS, MEANING THAT THE OFFICER AGAIN HAD NO DISCRETION OF WHETHER OR NOT TO ARREST THE PERSON BY BY VIRTUE OF LAW,
[00:05:03]
THEY HAVE TO ARREST THE INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT, AND IN ONE INSTANCE, FORCE WAS DECLARED TO HAVE BEEN USED IN THE COURSE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE CONTACT WHICH RESULTED IN BODILY INJURY. BODILY INJURY IS DEFINED BY THE CRIMINAL CODE IN TEXAS AS ANY TIME A PERSON CAN EVEN COMPLAIN OF PAINS SUCH AS OUCH, IT WOULD BE DECLARED A BODILY INJURY INSTANCE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO RECORD THE PERCENTAGE OF WHITES, ASIANS, AND ALASKA NATIVES THAT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE POLICE WAS ACTUALLY LESS OR LOWER THAN THOSE THAT ARE IN THE IN THE CENSUS DATA, AS PER DFW, THAT ARE WHITE, THAT ARE ASIAN OR ALASKA NATIVES. HOWEVER, THE CONTACTS THAT WERE AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS WERE HIGHER THAN THE THRESHOLD OF WHAT DFW HAS IN TERMS OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH ACCESS TO VEHICLES. THIS CAN BE EASILY EXPLAINED BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE CONTACTS THAT THE OFFICERS MAKE IN SEAGOVILLE ARE NONRESIDENTS. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMMUTING TO AND FROM THE HIGHWAYS TO AND FROM THE STREETS, AND SO THEY WOULD NOT BE NECESSARILY CAPTURED IN THE CENSUS. MOST OF THE CONTRABAND THAT WAS FOUND ORIGINALLY ORIGINATED FROM SEARCHES THAT WERE MADE ON HISPANICS. THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS IN THE SENSE THAT IF IF MOST OF YOUR CONTACTS ARE IN FACT HISPANIC, AND MOST OF YOUR SEARCHES ARE BASED ON HISPANIC INDIVIDUALS THAT THE OFFICERS ENCOUNTER, YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR CONTRABAND TO BE HIGHER AMONG THOSE HISPANIC CONTACTS. AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY FOLLOWED BY THOSE SEARCHES THAT WERE MADE ON WHITES AS WELL. THE DEPARTMENT HAS REVISED AND I REVIEW IT EVERY YEAR, THE RACIAL PROFILING POLICY, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT KEEPS UP WITH THE STANDARDS SET FORTH BY THE LAW BY IACP AND VARIOUS OTHER ENTITIES. HE HAS ENGAGED OUR FIRM AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND TO PROVIDE ANY KIND OF ADJUSTMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND WE WORK. WE HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR 28 YEARS. I WORK WITH MAJOR AGENCIES ACROSS THE STATE, OVER 100 OF THEM, AND ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, WE ACTUALLY PROVIDE THIS REPORT. NOT NOT ALL MY REPORTS ARE CONVEYANCE OF OF GOOD NEWS AS THIS ONE IS. BUT I'M HAPPY AND PROUD TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT STANDS ABOVE THE REST. HE HAS. HE HAS REALLY COLLECTED THE DATA, ALLOWED US TO ANALYZE IT, AND PROVIDED FEEDBACK TO THEM. AND THEY HAVE ADDRESSED EVERY ISSUE IN THE PAST YEARS THAT I'VE WORKED WITH THEM. IT ALSO HAS INFORMED THE PUBLIC AS TO WHENEVER THEY MAKE A CONTACT, AND HOW TO FILE THAT COMPLIMENT OR COMPLAINT, AS I NOTED EARLIER. AND THEN IT ALSO, MY RECOMMENDATIONS THIS YEAR ARE TO CONTINUE THIS THIS, THIS CONCEPT OF TRANSPARENCY BEFORE THE COMMUNITY, TO CONTINUE TO FOSTER PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ENTITIES IN THE CITY, TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE THESE QUARTERLY AUDITS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT THE DATA THAT'S BEING COLLECTED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DATA THAT'S BEING REPORTED, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY PROVIDE TRAINING TO ALL THE OFFICERS. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT I'LL BE REMINDING CHIEF DAVIS THAT WE DO THAT SOONER THAN LATER, SO THAT EVERYONE COMES UP TO SPEED WITH THE MOST RECENT TRENDS ON THE RACIAL PROFILING LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. AND THEN IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS COMPLIED WITH ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I HAVE MADE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, AND NOW I STAND BEFORE YOU TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS OR OBSERVATIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT, AND IT'S GLAD TO HEAR THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AND GET HIGH MARKS FOR THAT. SOUNDS LIKE WE APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR INPUT AND THE TIME THAT YOU TOOK TO CREATE THAT REPORT FOR US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MR. BOOKLETS KIND OF BREAKDOWN. DO WE HAVE ANY? YEAH, WE DO HAVE A BOOK. I CAN'T HEAR.THE QUESTION IS THAT BEING ASKED OF ME. SO USUALLY WE GET A BOOK THAT KIND OF BREAKS DOWN EVERYTHING IN SEAGOVILLE ALL THE ARRESTS, THE WHETHER IT'S CAUCASIAN, BLACK, HISPANIC AND THEN WHAT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE ARRESTS, THEY HAD, THE DRUGS, IF THERE WAS A DRUG INVOLVED, IF THERE WAS A CONFRONTATION INVOLVED. SO WE USUALLY GET THAT BOOK AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT BOOK LIKE WE USUALLY GET. YES, SIR. IN YOUR PACKET, I CONSULTED WITH THE CITY SECRETARY THIS YEAR AND EVERYTHING IS DISTRIBUTED DIGITALLY TO YOU. SO IN YOUR PACKET YOU SHOULD HAVE WHAT THAT BOOK WOULD BE PRINTED OUT. I MEAN, I HAVE A COPY IN MY FOLDER, BUT YOU HAVE A COPY WITH YOU ON YOUR, YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR PACKET. WHAT'S THE BOOK WOULD BE PRINTED? WE JUST SAVED PAPER. YEAH, YEAH. NO, I GET IT. I JUST LIKE TO KIND OF ANALYZE BOTH OF MY WHEN I GET BECAUSE I KEEP ALL MY I ANALYZE EVERYTHING. SO I MEAN IF I NEED
[00:10:02]
TO DOWNLOAD IT OFF MY THING THEN I WILL. BUT USUALLY I LIKE TO HAVE THE BOOK SO I CAN ANALYZE ALL MY. YEAH, WE CAN GET YOU A PRINTED COPY OF IT. THAT'D BE GOOD. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM ME OR DOCTOR DEL CARMEN? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NONE AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU.THANK YOU ALL. GOOD EVENING. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER THREE, MR. CARRIE NEAL WILL PRESENT THIS. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO YOU THE FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL UPDATE. THIS TYPICALLY IS PRESENTED BY OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, GAIL FRENCH. SHE FELL SICK. AND SO I'M GOING TO STEP IN HER STEAD TONIGHT AND GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE FIRST QUARTER FINANCIALS. FROM THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES AT THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST QUARTER. GENERAL FUND REVENUES ARE AT APPROXIMATELY 42% OF THE BUDGET, WHICH IS WELL AHEAD OF THE EXPECTED 25% BENCHMARK AT THIS POINT IN THE FISCAL YEAR.
THE MEMO THAT WAS PROVIDED IS IN THE PACKET AS WELL. SO I'LL JUST BE KIND OF GOING OVER THAT AT A HIGH LEVEL. OVERVIEW. THE POSITIVE PERFORMANCE IS DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS, SALES TAX REVENUES AND SANITATION REVENUES AS IT RELATES TO GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES. THE CITY CONTINUES TO BE DISCIPLINED, WITH TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES AT 24% OF THE BUDGET, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY BELOW THE EXPECTED 25% BENCHMARK FOR THE FIRST QUARTER. PUBLIC SAFETY REMAINS THE LARGEST EXPENDITURE EXPENDITURE CATEGORY AND IS ATTRACTING TRACKING APPROPRIATELY SOME HIGHER ACTIVITY IN NON-DEPARTMENTAL AND IT EXPENDITURES. IT'S SIMPLY RELATED TO TIMING, INCLUDING ANNUAL INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND SCHEDULED TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS THAT WERE PLANNED AND BUDGETED. THERE ARE NO UNANTICIPATED SPENDING CONCERNS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME AS IT RELATES TO THE USE OF FUND BALANCE. THE CITY HAS UTILIZED APPROXIMATELY $447,000 IN FUND BALANCE YEAR TO DATE, AND THOSE EXPENDITURES ARE TIED TO ONE TIME STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS, PRIMARILY IN PUBLIC SAFETY, TECHNOLOGY, FIRE EQUIPMENT AND OTHER OPERATIONAL NEEDS THAT WERE APPROVED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS FOR THE WATER AND SEWER FUND. THOSE REVENUES ARE SLIGHTLY BELOW THE FIRST QUARTER BENCHMARK, WHICH IS TYPICAL IN THIS TIME OF YEAR.
HISTORICALLY, WATER REVENUES INCREASED DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, AND AS IT RELATES TO THE EXPENDITURES, THOSE ARE WITHIN BUDGETED EXPENDITURE BENCHMARKS FOR CASH AND INVESTMENTS. THE CITY MAINTAINS A HEALTHY CASH AND INVESTMENT POSITION. FUNDS ARE DIVERSIFIED, DIVERSIFIED, FULLY COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAW AND THE CITY'S INVESTMENT POLICY, AND PROVIDE STRONG LIQUIDITY AND STABILITY OVERALL. IN SUMMARY, AT THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER, THE CITY IS AHEAD OF ITS REVENUE EXPECTATIONS, BELOW EXPENDITURE BENCHMARKS, STRATEGICALLY USING THE FUND BALANCE AS BUDGETED AND APPROVED, AND MAINTAINING STRONG RESERVES AND CASH POSITION. THIS PUTS THE CITY IN A VERY GOOD POSITION AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO FY 2026, AND STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS CLOSELY TO KEEP COUNSEL INFORMED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THAT CONCLUDES THE FINANCIAL PRESENTATION. I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU HAVE THEM AT THIS TIME. I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE NONE, SIR. THANK YOU. MOVING TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, MR. EGAN.

SO IT REFLECTS OPERATIONAL CHANGES, THINGS THAT ARE CURRENT. A LOT OF THINGS CHANGED LAST YEAR TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR. FIRST OFF, OUR CURRENT RULES OF PROCEDURE STATES ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER 11TH EDITION. THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE 12TH EDITION.

AGAIN, I WANT TO BEFORE WE START, I WANT TO THANK Y'ALL FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY.
THERE'S SOME STAFF THAT I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE, SOME VOLUNTEERS THAT NEED RECOGNITION. AND ALSO A LOCAL CITIZEN NEED SOME RECOGNITION. AGAIN, I THINK THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALLOWING HAVE ABOUT 15. SO BEAR WITH ME. THIS FIRST ONE TO BEGIN WITH IS A CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION. SO ON THE EVENING OF JANUARY 30TH, 2020, SIX, SPD OFFICERS WERE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AND WERE IN PURSUIT OF A REPORTED STOLEN VEHICLE. THE FLEEING SUSPECT WAS DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED DOWN NORTH KAUFMAN STREET TOWARDS EAST MILLER BRIDGE ROAD. PURSUING OFFICERS WERE FORCED TO BACK OFF THE SUSPECT BASED ON HIS ERRATIC DRIVING, AND THEY'RE DOING SO. THEY LOST VISUAL SIGHT OF THE FLEEING STOLEN VEHICLE. UNBEKNOWNST TO OFFICERS, THE FLEEING SUSPECT EXITED THE STOLEN VEHICLE AND LEFT IT TO ROLL INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THIS MINOR COLLISION WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED BY OFFICERS APPROACHING THE SCENE. CITIZENS ON PATROL VOLUNTEER WILLIAM HARVIN WAS VOLUNTEERING THIS DAY AND TIME, AND THE COP PATROL VEHICLE. BY HAPPENSTANCE, HE WAS IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA AND WITNESSED THE SUSPECT RUNNING FROM THE STOLEN VEHICLE CLP. HARVIN NOTIFIED RESPONDING OFFICERS VIA POLICE RADIO WHAT HE WITNESSED AND PROVIDED THE FLEEING FELONS LAST KNOWN LOCATION. A SHORT TIME LATER, SPD OFFICERS OBSERVED THE FLEEING SUSPECT ENTERED TO A BACKYARD OF A PRIVATE HOME. OFFICERS CONVERGED ON THE SUSPECT WAS APPREHENDED.
ADDITIONALLY, THIS SUSPECT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING ARREST WARRANT FROM TDC FOR A PAROLE VIOLATION WITHOUT CLP RECOGNITION AND INFORMATION, OFFICERS MAY NOT HAVE LOCATED AND ARRESTED THIS INDIVIDUAL. HIS ACTIONS MAY HAVE ALSO PREVENTED A BURGLARY OR HOME INVASION OF THE PRIVATE RESIDENCE. I WANT TO PRESENT CLP WILLIAM HARVIN WITH THIS CERTIFICATE, IT SAYS. FOR YOUR DISPLAY OF LOYALTY AND DEDICATION TO THE COMMUNITY AND THIS DEPARTMENT ON JANUARY 30TH, YOU'RE ACTING CAPACITY OF A COP VOLUNTEER. WHEN YOU WITNESSED A FLEEING FELON CRASHED AND RUN FROM A STOLEN VEHICLE, HE PROVIDED A RADIO BROADCAST TO RESPONDING OFFICERS TO INFORM THEM OF THE SUSPECT'S LOCATION. RESPONDING OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY APPREHEND THIS FUGITIVE FROM THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS FURTHER RECOGNIZED.
YOU CONTRIBUTE MANY VOLUNTEER HOURS TO THIS PROGRAM. YOUR SELFISHNESS IS APPRECIATED.
WILLIAM. OKAY. SO THIS NEXT ONE IS GOING TO RECOGNIZE SEVERAL OFFICERS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE ALSO A SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANT CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION. OKAY. RECENTLY FROM SATURDAY, JANUARY 21ST TO TUESDAY, JANUARY 27TH, NORTH TEXAS IN THE CITY EXPERIENCED A CRIPPLING WINTER ICE STORM WITH FREEZING RAIN, ICE AND SLEET.
TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME REMAIN BELOW FREEZING. ROADWAY AND TRAVEL CONDITIONS WERE TREACHEROUS AND HAZARDOUS, AND PLANNING AND FORECASTING THIS EVENT. THE PD PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE POLICE OFFICERS TO LODGE AT THE DEPARTMENT. SEVERAL POLICE PERSONNEL OPTED TO STAY AT THE PD FOR THE DURATION OF THE STORM. THESE PERSONAL DECISIONS MADE BY EACH OF THESE OFFICERS DEMONSTRATED READINESS AND KEPT SUFFICIENT STAFFING LEVELS FOR PREPAREDNESS OF PUBLIC SAFETY, SPECIFICALLY A POLICE RESPONSE. SOME OF THESE PERSONNEL ALSO WORKED ADDITIONAL SHIFTS TO COVER OTHER OFFICERS SHIFTS WHO COULD NOT MAKE IT IN INSTEAD OF GOING HOME. TO ME, THIS SHOWS AND EXHIBITS LOYALTY AND DEDICATION TO THIS DEPARTMENT AND TO THIS COMMUNITY. THEY MADE THEIR OWN SACRIFICES TO BE AWAY FROM THEIR OWN FAMILIES IN THIS STORM, TO SERVE THIS TOWN. THE DEPARTMENT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RECOGNIZE PUBLIC WORKS PARK SUPERVISOR JUSTIN WILKERSON FOR HIS ASSISTANCE WITH POLICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY DURING THIS WINTER STORM EVENT. JUSTIN AMANDA SANDY TRUCK AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE PD TO RECOGNIZE THE MOST HAZARDOUS STREETS AND RESPONDED TO APPLY SAND AND THESE AREAS FOR THE SAFETY OF MOTORISTS AND THE NAVIGABILITY OF PUBLIC SAFETY RESPONSES. FIRST ONE IS

SERGEANT JEREMY HAWTHORNE. YEAH. SERGEANT ETHAN SINCLAIR. CORPORAL JUSTIN COHEE. OFFICER REGINALD CLARK. OFFICER DALTON JENKINS, NOT HERE. OFFICER RUDY SILLER. OFFICER TAN WYNNE. IS THAT OKAY? AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OFFICER SHELBY ROBERTSON. OKAY. OKAY. THIS NEXT ONE IS A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT. THIS ONE IS FROM AN ACCOMMODATION. AN ACCOMMODATION WRITTEN BY. I'M SORRY. I GOT JUSTIN WILKERSON. YEAH. I GET ALL THOSE. NOT HERE. JUSTIN. SO, LIKE, IT'S YOUR DIPLOMA. YOU GOT A SOLO PHOTO? A LOT OF TIME. SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOURS. OKAY. THIS NEXT ONE IS FROM IS AN ACCOMMODATION WRITTEN BY SERGEANT CARL BAILEY WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. HE'S IN A TRAINING CLASS, BUT THE ACCOMMODATION READS VERBATIM.ON 116, 2026, OFFICER CLEEK BEGAN INVESTIGATING SOME OF OUR RECENT BURGLARIES AT CUBESMART STORAGE. AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND OBTAINING VIDEO OF THE SUSPECT, OFFICER CLEEK BEGAN INVESTIGATING FURTHER. USING HIS INTUITION, OFFICER CLEEK MADE CONTACT WITH SEVERAL HOMELESS PERSONS AT THE BELTLINE ROAD UNDERPASS AND DISCOVERED THE IDENTITY OF THE SUSPECT. THOSE PERSONS INTERVIEWED, OFFICER CLEEK, INDICATED THAT THE SUSPECT ACTUALLY LIVES IN A HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT BEHIND THE BUSINESSES LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF BELTLINE AND US 175. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE SUSPECT'S IDENTIFICATION OFFICER SUBMITTED A DETAILED REPORT AND FORWARD THE INFORMATION TO THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION FOR FUTURE PROSECUTION. THE SAME DAY, OFFICER CLEEK, WITH ASSISTANCE OF CORPORAL GRUBBS, TRACKED DOWN THE SUSPECT VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE SUSPECT. CORRECT ME, HIS GRAMMARS, THE SUSPECT IDENTITY OF A RECENT WEAPONS OFFENSE OF 101 WEST SIMONS ROAD. THIS INFORMATION WAS ALSO FORWARDED TO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS. WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ATTAINING ARREST WARRANT FOR THE SUSPECT OFFICER CLEEK EXEMPLARY INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS, AND THAT GOOD OLD FASHIONED POLICE WORK ARE INDISPENSABLE TOOLS IN SOLVING CRIMES. OR MOST OFFICERS WILL SIMPLY TAKE THE INITIAL REPORT AND LET CID CONDUCT ANY FOLLOW UP INVESTIGATIONS. OFFICER CLEEK TAKES INITIATIVES TO IDENTIFY SUSPECTS AND BUILD CASES FOR PROSECUTION. FOR THE ABOVE EXAMPLES AND MANY MORE NOT RECOUNTED IN THIS LETTER, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OFFICER SAM CLEEK FOR HIS HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AS A WHOLE. AND SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE CERTIFICATE OF MERIT IT SAYS AWARDED TO OFFICER SAM. CLICK FOR YOUR ACTIONS OF EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IN YOUR DUTIES AND A SYNOPSIS. AND THIS ONE ACTUALLY COMES WITH A UNIFORM BAR. OKAY, NOW FOR THE HEROES OF THE NIGHT. SO Y'ALL HAVE PROBABLY SEEN RECENT NEWSCAST EVENTS OF OF SOME OFFICERS AND A CITIZEN THAT HAVE SAVED THE HUMAN LIFE. OKAY, SO THIS IS THE CIVILIAN LIFESAVING AWARD
[00:30:06]
ON JANUARY 27TH, RICKY'S RECORD TOW OPERATOR, DOUGLAS LANE, WAS OUT DRIVING DURING THE WINTER EVENT. DOUG CAME ACROSS A SEDAN PARKED IN THE LANE ON THE EASTBOUND SERVICE ROAD. HE STOPPED TO CHECK ON THE DRIVER AND OFFER HIS ASSISTANCE. IT WAS THEN HE RECOGNIZED AN ADULT MALE IN A NEARBY CULVERT IN FRIGID WATER. ACTING ERRATIC, DOUG STOPPED AND WENT TO THIS INDIVIDUAL. SOON AFTER HE APPROACHED THIS PERSON, THE INDIVIDUAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE IN THE COLD WATER. DOUG IMMEDIATELY ACTED AND GRABBED THE MAN BY THE HOOD OF HIS SWEATSHIRT AND HELD HIS HEAD ABOVE WATER WHILE CALLING 911 FOR HELP. BY THE TIME RESPONDING POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED, THIS MAN WAS INCOHERENT AND A MEDICAL DURESS.THIS ENTIRE TIME DOUG HELD ON TO THIS MAN, WAS SUCCESSFUL IN KEEPING HIS HEAD ABOVE WATER AND PREVENTING HIM FROM BECOMING FULLY SUBMERGED UNTIL OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO PULL HIM UP AND OUT OF THE WATER. IT IS STRONGLY BELIEVED THIS MAN WOULD HAVE BECOME FULLY SUBMERGED IN THIS WATER, WHILE A RESPONSIVE AND NOT SEEN UNTIL THE WATER RECEDED. HAD DOUG NOT ACTED. IT IS CONSIDERED BY THIS DEPARTMENT THAT DOUG'S ACTION CONTRIBUTED TO SAVING THIS MAN'S LIFE. SO I HAVE A CIVILIAN LIFE SAVING AWARD AWARDED TO DOUGLAS LANE FOR YOUR ACTIONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE SAVING OF A HUMAN LIFE. I ALSO HAVE DOUGIE WILL COME UP ALSO HAVE OUR DEPARTMENT'S CHALLENGE COIN TO GIVE YOU. OKAY, ONE MORE GUYS AND I'LL QUIT BORING YOU GUYS. OKAY, SO AND FOLLOW UP OF THIS, I HAVE THE ACTUAL DEPARTMENT LIFE SAVING AWARD ISSUED TO THREE OFFICERS HERE. SO ON THE AFTERNOON OF JANUARY 27TH, THESE OFFICERS RESPONDED TO THE 911 CALL FOR ASSISTANCE FROM DOUG. THEY ARRIVED TO DISCOVER DOUG HOLDING ON TO THE MAIL, KEEPING HIS HEAD ABOVE FRIGID WATER AND PREVENTING HIM FROM FULLY SUBMERGING. THESE OFFICERS COORDINATED AN EFFORT TO PULL THE WATERLOGGED MAN UP AND OUT OF THE STORM CULVERT. OFFICERS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MAN. HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS, UNRESPONSIVE, AND IN MEDICAL DISTRESS. THIS MAN WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAINT PULSE AND SHALLOW BREATHING. FROM THE DESCRIPTION OF HIS ACTIONS OF THE MAN BY DOUG BEFORE HE FELL UNCONSCIOUS, OFFICER BURT WAS ABLE TO RECOGNIZE HE MAY BE EXPERIENCING POTENTIAL OPIOID OVERDOSE. WHILE THE OFFICER STAYED WITH THE MAN TO CONTINUE LIFESAVING MEASURES, OFFICER OFFICER BURT RETRIEVED HIS NARCAN. OFFICER BURT ADMINISTERED TWO NASAL DOSES OF THE MEDICATION TO THE MEN WAS RESULTED IN ALMOST IMMEDIATE RECOVERY. HE COMMENCED TO BECOME ALERT AND HIS PULSE AND BREATHING SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED. FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE AND BEGAN TO TREAT THE MAN FOR HYPOTHERMIA FROM BEING SUBMERGED IN THE WATER. BY THE TIME THE AMBULANCE LEFT TO TRANSPORT THE MAN, HE NOW HAD VIABLE SIGNS OF LIFE. HE WAS TREATED FOR SEVERAL DAYS IN ICU AND HAS BEEN SINCE SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED. WITHOUT THE EFFORTS AND ACTIONS OF THESE OFFICERS, THIS MAN WOULD HAVE SURELY DIED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE OVERDOSE, DROWNING AND HYPOTHERMIA. SO THE FIRST LIFESAVING AWARD GOES TO LIEUTENANT DONNIE BLASINGAME.
AND CORPORAL JUSTIN COHEE. THEN OFFICER BOBAK. OKAY, REAL QUICK, THERE'S ONE PERSON I WOULD JUST LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AND NOT TO EMBARRASS HIM. WHILE OUR OFFICERS WERE LODGING DURING THIS WINTER STORM, OF COURSE, THEY HAD TO LIVE AND STAY AT THE DEPARTMENT. I'D LIKE TO EXTEND OUR THANKS ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT TO COUNCILMAN ALAN GRIMES FOR HIM COMING AND DELIVERING GROCERIES TO THE GUYS DURING THAT WEEKEND SO THEY WERE ABLE TO.
