Meeting Transcript
Call the meeting to order. We'll call we have all commissioners present. Public comment. There's no one here from the public or called in at this time. Consent agenda period. Someone called in on Zoom, so I don't know. We do have someone called in. Yeah, I tried communicating. They haven't responded. So are they hooked on already? Yeah. It is have our phone number listed. So on public comment, if the person called in has anything to say, now would be the time to do it. Otherwise, we'll continue with the meeting. Okay, last chance. No public input. Then we'll go ahead with the consent agenda starting with the minutes from last month. Are there any corrections at all? Then we have the police department monthly report. Yeah, nothing too drastic as far as changes. May of 25, we had uh 2397 calls for service. Uh May of 26, 2403, so we are virtually identical. Uh calls for service uh yearly totals, very consistent. We're within a little over a hundred. Um accidents, uh we are identical, 87 in uh the month of May of 26 and 25. Uh year to date, we're a few less than uh 25, which is good. Uh also uh Commissioner Weller requested that we add OWI numbers. Uh we had none in May of 25, and in May of 26, we've had 15. Um there's any other questions that that any of you gentlemen have on here, I'd be happy to answer them. I'm just curious, is that none in 25 because you didn't have the stats or will you not? No, it's probably none. Um probably Amber, is that correct? There wouldn't be a number there. They just did the stats weren't listed previously, so we could we could look it up. No, I'm not worried about that. Okay. Where is that job? It's in the it's in the bottom left corner. Oh, they're on there, but no. It does seem unusual. We probably do have a number. Okay, um, and if you're curious, I can get that to you. No, um fine with what you provided, thank you. Okay. Any questions on the report? Fire department monthly matrix? Yeah, um, again, similar to PD, nothing uh major to report. Um everything's uh pretty consistent for the first almost half of uh 2026. Um 587 total calls for service, 480 were for EMS and 107 for uh fire responses. Um we did have a slight uptick of uh structure fires in May, but that just could be an anomaly.
