Well good evening everyone and welcome to our council meeting for June the 13th.

If you will rise, we'll have a moment of silence, and then tonight's a special night with the KPD.

We're going to have a promotion ceremony.

So after the invocation, or the moment of silence, excuse me, we'll have the Carnegie Police Department honor guard.

They're going to present the colors and then we'll do the pledge of allegiance.

So please have a moment of silence.

Okay, thank you.

Now for the honor guard.

Thanks, Mayor and Council, uh, for the opportunity today for a very special moment for Officer Lother Miller and his family.

Uh we recently had the opportunity to um had a vacancy for uh the positions police aren't the Carnage Police Department, went through an extensive process, very competitive.

Um thing that we realize every time we go through a promotion process in the Carnegie Police Department's house, the depth of talented um future leadership within our agency, uh and that's a testament to all this current leadership within our agency, uh, as well as those that have that have since uh retired and moved on uh in their lives.

So this is a special moment for Officer Miller.

Well he are currently sorry, and really he started last Sunday.

Um but this makes it official for for he and his family.

Uh there's a lot of great support here in the room today from our captain bird here, lieutenants are here.

The previous sergeant that uh that retired, which made this availability for Logan Miller's years, retired Sergeant Doug McCarty is here is pretty awesome to see.

Um members of our civil service commission are here, Dr.

Luke is here, uh Leanne Curry is here, I think Dr.

Louis's here for two reasons today, but that's pretty often to see thanks for being here.

Uh and obviously members of council mayor, city manager, um helped obviously these these decisions are made um uh with the uh direct uh responsibility from our city manager uh for these promotions.

Um so just a great time to be here.

Logan Miller's been with for about three years, uh recently three years back on the eighth.

He started uh with us, but he brings seven and a half years of law enforcement experience and started out with the York Police Department, uh, went on to Buffalo County Sheriff's Office, and then we were lucky enough to hire him at a collateral police officer three years ago.

Anyway, we'll talk about that later.

About that foot patrol you're going to have in our next couple weeks.

But anyway, so moving on.

Uh with that, I just want to I just want to talk a little bit about Logan Miller.

Uh, going through the process, you talked, we we asked a lot about your leadership style and your goals and what your expectations will be.

Uh and one thing that struck with uh Logan is his leadership style really really fits well with our culture with what our goals are.

He's he's a servant leader, he really uh is gonna have a leadership style that is driven by the need of the officers that he leads, leads by the of our community.

Uh and with that, he'll succeed uh through the success of others, and that's kind of a goal that I've always embraced my entire career as well.

And I think Logan will do the same.

He's got a lot of great ideas, uh a lot of great ways to inspire indeed others, uh which which uh will only serve our department being succeeded in the class state community that we all enjoy living and working and playing in.

So with that, I'd ask uh our city clerk to complete the uh wording.

So with that, I'd ask uh our city clerk to complete the uh wearing it.

I'm sure he's happy I mean after me.

I solemnly swear.
