Lieutenant Don Lindell of the Wright County Sheriff's Department
was present to review with the Advisory Commission members the
current contract status with the City of Monticello. Mr. Lindell
outlined the present arrangement that provides 7 I 321 hours of
coverage and discussed the current arrangement of allocating those
hours on a weekly basis. Mr. Lindell noted that although no
current problems exist with the arrangement, the Sheriff's
Department has noticed an increase in activity in the MonticellO
area because of our growth and recommended that the Police
Commission consider budgeting in future years for increasing hours,
possibly to a 24-hour coverage basis.
Police Commission members also reviewed the proposed ordinance
amendment that established the Advisory Commission and briefly
discussed the general duties and functions of the Commission. In
regard to membership on the Commission, it was the consensus of the
membership that having a teenager serve on the Commission at this
time would not be necessary; but if issues are discussed that
concern teenage activities, the Commission could invite a high
school representative to attend a future meeting if necessary.
A motion was made by Warren Smith and seconded by Jim Fleming and
unanimously carried to recommend to the MonticellO City Council
that the ordinance amendment establishing the Police Advisory
Commission, including the duties and functions originally outlined,
be adopted by the City Council. After official adoption, the
Commission would then meet to formally elect officers of Chair,
Vice Chair, and Secretary.
In regard to the 1992 contract renewal for police coverage, the
Commission members were comfortable with the contract arrangement,
including hours of coverage proposed, and recommended the City
Council consider renewal of the contract.
