Commission. The Committee recommended that Lt. Evans begin the testing phase
for the top two candidates, Jose Campos and Brandon Ragsdale.
The Committee discussed the need for an eventual third officer. With staffing issues and the expansion of
the City the need will be great in the future.

Alderman Gilmour informed the committee of his negotiations with the property owners of 115 Jackson Street. The asking price is $58,000 and they requested that the city pick up title and transfer costs which would bring the price to $60,422.00, roughly $2,000 less than the appraised value. Alderman Hermes did some research and stated that this is a very fair price.
Chief Metta stated he has received an estimated quote from Pat Clark and it would be approximately $9,900 per building to tear down. Clark is certified for asbestos removal and this is included in the price. A company would have to do an asbestos evaluation and Clark said he knew of someone if the City didn’t have a contact.
Alderman Melhorn would like to see the feasibility study and the City work out a time frame on the completion of the rebuilding of the police station.
The committee will recommend to the full council the purchasing of the Jackson St. building. Rob will find out the proper procedure on addressing this at the Council meeting.
DISCUSSION: Adjournment
ACTION: Alderman Gilmour made a motion and Alderman Johnston seconded to adjourn at 6:02 p.m. All yes. Motion passed.
