City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />November 12, 2020 <br />iii. Centennial Lakes Police Commission <br />stated that the Commission pinned two (2) new officers; Officers Logan <br />Larson and Bryan Johnson and that Corporal Nolan Walberg was <br />promoted to Sergeant. He stated that they discussed the annual audit <br />proposal, organizational structure, squad and portable radio. He <br />reviewed the fact that the current portable radios are 12-14 years old and <br />of older technology. He reported that they desire to purchase four (4) <br />new radios at an estimated cost of $184,000. He stated that additional <br />radios would be purchased in the future. He also stated that the officer <br />scheduling system as the new Chief believes the current system is <br />antiquated. He reported that the Chief feels that now is the time with <br />the current pricing structure to purchase 20 new handguns and that they <br />are able to trade-in their old stock as there is a demand for used weapons. <br /> <br />He reported that the Governing Board would be operated by the City of <br />Centerville and he felt that Mayor Love would do a fine job. <br /> <br />Mayor Love added that the Commission approved allowing officers the <br />ability to have a Mental Health Wellness Program. He stated that PTSD <br />is a huge issue around the State and with Police Departments and <br />insurance company premiums have skyrocketed due to this issue. He <br />felt that it was extremely positive for the Department that the Officers <br />and their Union have agreed to take these steps. City Administrator <br />Statz stated that Officers have always been allowed to see a Psychologist <br />paid by their employer but now it will be required on an annual basis. <br />He stated that he felt that this would give Officers a nudge to participate <br />in the opportunity to speak openly. He stated that there is stigma behind <br />seeing a professional about mental health but it was anticipated that it <br />would be relieved due to this program. <br /> <br />c. Council Member Koski stated that he was unaware of the 94% voter <br />turnout for the elections which is absolutely fantastic and desired to <br />congratulate Mr. Darrin Mosher and Mayor Love for their election and re- <br />election. He stated that the Mayor filled in March at a time when someone <br />resigned which is difficult and that he thanked him for his service and having <br />the ability to just step into the roll. He thanked all Election Judges for their <br />service and residents for their patience during Elections. He thanked all who <br />supported him and stated that he was humbled by the votes that he received. He <br />thanked all veterans for their service and sacrifices. <br /> <br />i.
