Council Report – February 2014

Posted on by

Administration

We have an opportunity each year to submit application for scholarships for the Child Abuse Summit.  We usually are awarded two scholarships.  This year is no different.  We will be sending Officer Jesse Steffanson and Detective Coates.

I spent a lot of time in February talking to groups about the current medical marijuana and legalization of marijuana issues.

A new U.S. Flag was hoisted and repairs have started on what will be the second one. We will replace and clean the flags every few months, they get dirty being right by the road.

Between Sandy and Estacada we took 220 reports in February; busy but not overwhelming.

First false alarm notices and reminders to obtain alarms have gone out.  After a bit of a learning curve, and some corrected permits issued, we appear to be up and running.
Judge Brisbin and staff from Clackamas County Justice Court recently toured the PD for “finishing ideas” as they will be moving into their new building in May.

 

Property/Evidence

The property/evidence room has been busy.  Juli Smith (Property Tech) and Sgt. Burns cleaned out the evidence room of 500 pounds of evidence material that was destroyed (we burn our evidence at a place called Covanta).

They also took with them, 260 pounds of “take back drugs” from the medication take back program drop box.  That means 260 pounds of drugs that will not go into our ground water thanks to this program.

 Code Enforcement

CE Officer Moody received 20 new cases this month and cleared 21.  He issued 9 code enforcement related citations.
