RE: Quarterly meeting--Wednesday, June 23, ].993
r 1
In discussing the upcoming quarterly meeting with Chairman Warren Smith, we have set
Wednesday, June 23, at 7 p.m., as the date of our next meeting. While it does not appear
that we have very many issues to discuss at this meeting, it may be beneficial to keep on
schedule and meet, if only brie fly.
At the previous meeting in March, an idea surfaced regarding the feasibility of setting up
an awards program that, if I understand correctly, would be for the purpose of recognizing
local citizens who may have benefited the community or the police department in regard to
a police matter and thus deserving recognition. While I have not done any further research
on such a program, possibly the commission members would. want to generally discuss the
idea and receive input from the Sheriff's Department concerning the establishment of this
program.
Other than this specific topic, I did not have any direction from the City Council on any
other issues they wanted the Police Commission to review at this time. As in the past,
Sheriff Don Hozempa and/or Chief Deputy Don Iaindell have been invited to attend our brief
Police Commission meeting.
If any commission. member has a topic they wish to discuss, you may contact myself or
Chairman Warren Smith prior to tihe meeting.
