ORDINANCE NO. 29-18: This is a companion ordinance to Ordinance No. 28-18. Based on the anticipated passage of Ordinance No. 28-18, the codified ordinance section of 139.01 detailing the composition of the police department will need to be updated with subsections 4 and 5. The 181day assignment for each of the SRO’s will be paid for by the School District including wages and benefits. This will be added to the Consent Agenda.

ORDINANCE NO. 30-18: This ordinance is for the purchase of a 2018 Dodge Charger for the Police Division. The reason for the purchase of a new Dodge Charger is because Chief Stillman would like to maintain a compliment of two Dodge Chargers and the retrofitting would save the city money. This purchase would come from the POPAS Fund. Director Costello explained that there are certain officers that like the extra space in the Interceptors but there are a few officers that like the handling of the Chargers. The Mayor added the city pays less money to outfit the Chargers and this gives the Police Division more diversity to use vehicles in different ways than the SUV’s. The base price of the Charger is also less expensive than the Interceptor.

ORDINANCE NO. 31-18: This ordinance is for the purchase of a 2018 Ford Interceptor for the Police Division from Lebanon Ford. This purchase will also be out of the POPAS Fund.

RESOLUTION NO. 32-18: This authorizes the collection of certain property maintenance costs. The residents have not paid these bills. The properties will be assessed for these costs with passage of this resolution. Rocky River City Council Committee-of-the-Whole Meeting June 4, 2018 Page 3 of 3
