The Quincy City Council met on Monday, December 29, 2025, at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers. The meeting included employee recognition, police officer swearing-in and promotion, discussion and approval of a housing authority police agreement, and the first reading of a zoning variation ordinance.
The first summer we had on the agenda was a presentation and the first presentation uh asked Captain County to come up to the podium for that was a thirty five year employees and copy uh has been with the city for uh leadership for thirty five years as I've been within the engineering department. Uh Pad is our lead uh construction sector and he's got a spirit uh kind of fast for those of the department, but he uh put out the fact left by those two five uh retired and no longer with the students and very powerful, very knowledgeable uh about things, uh about consistent each water too, which um he's uh very important because ultimately he's after last and compact is doing the work, we can think about the plan correctly. Um and uh still need to be good. So um to the public and uh country and no I didn't start with thirty five years and for uh being an example of second one of new employees began to understand something who's done that for thirty-five years, uh it's pretty amazing. Um thank you very much for other easy for the setting. I'm not sure I will uh take out a note to come to the podium and uh pass my cut coffee. I'm hoping to be part of it. I'll come back to it. We want to welcome two police officers to uh go in the police department team. Uh Nelson Fall and Pope Top, if you come forward please and just stand over here, Matthew and Tapel. And one that tries to be working with some of the best police officers in three way more, so you've uh we'll be through that and we're not required and um this is an ID and the first of many last time. Matthew Farha is a teacher recording. And then the first one of time is psychologist who done with the power and is working with his doctorate and two funds and continue. Matthew most recently was a question officer for the A Four Stop. And uh he has a Christian Bagula and Support. Longly supposed to find office and time that's me about it. Now we see I make the control and sister and so you want to turn the cockpit. Thank you very much. Before I just start with the case and I throw it to now. So it was about to write what after a spider what part of these houses need after that last one. It's going to be more difficult as a move forward. You're about to take the pinch-piece party, both of all. You ride through tonight today, you leave your form members before the problem. You'd be expected to work hard and hold and make a master report. There is no highlight. Police doctor is a member of the community and the stuff is responsible for the community. More importantly, we're expected to maintain the trust to continue the police and professional policeman, the men and women of the country police department of present. If you feel you can meet the high expectations, especially that the coaching police doctor, please raise your right hand in the Peter May. The constitution and laws for the state of IR. The ordinances of the city of country. And I will hopefully decide. The duties of my office as police officer is to use country for the best of my body. If either of you would like to take the picture to make time that we have another promise to take it home to use office to back the post back and after the key to it. I think that I'd like to walk into that. We recognize a significant life and present business to our departments are going to be able to not only for a new promoted present in the family, but for the peace department and the community between that bullet is a candidate and it's a peace department. And all the things that also play many secondary positions, including both alcohol operator, that's the university marketing, anyway, multiple, emotional response team members, and is the point of 50%. Any booth was selected as employee money or the 10 pounds. In 2016, after being used, I'm sorry, in 2015, then opposite units were selected as a point of peace department co-alter of the year. I think most people would be impressed by that. And I tell you that business is also better than the United States Marine Corps and afternoon, but nothing. Working alongside the architecture, the consolations are able to mold and develop the people of pollution. And yes, sometimes difficult the office that they should buy. But the relatively young police department, there's a bee that those two still finds. That said, I have no doubt that it will be successful. And I asked you if you go on the reforming looking for supporting private. And the law enforcement for the other. Well thank you for the country members in the mail there. We have to leave the building in the world for the old guard and just have to do them the wisdom. And the understanding we do all that is needed. To do the benefit of function that function means.
