Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, May 18, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />ENGINEERING - Tom Cappello <br />There was nothing to report. <br />LEGAL DEPARTMENT - Joe Diemert <br />There was nothing to report. <br />FIIZE - Chief Carciopqolo <br />Chief Carcioppolo reported, we are finally at our full staffing level for the Fire Deparhnent. <br />Firefighter Jeff Cook started on Sunday. We are going to plan on having them fonnally sworn in <br />during June's Council meeting. <br />FINANCE - Ron Wvnne <br />Mr. Wynne stated, I just wanted to mention that the Mayor and I have our annual Village <br />finances update meeting tomorrow evening at 7:00 in Reserve Hall. <br />POLICE - Chief Edelman <br />Chief Edelman reported on CECOMS. It really isn't much of an update but I want to keep the <br />topic fresh. Gino and I have a ineeting with the people from CECOMS to discuss logistics <br />involved with this migration. We are ineeting with them every couple weeks to touch base and <br />inake sure everything is in order. The law department and County legal deparhnent are working <br />on the terms of the contract. Until we get some better word back on the contract, we are on hold <br />as far as doing any meaningful moving ahead on this. Hopefully by next month's Caucus, I will <br />have more to tell you. <br />On another topic, I just found out recently, actually while I was on vacation, I got an e-mail that <br />Bedford Heights jail will be closing their services. It's a service we have used over the last 10 or <br />12 years. I am scrambling to find another community who ofFers jail space. One of the things I <br />ain looking at is a Shared Services Agreement with Mayfield Heights where we would use their <br />jail and they would use our shooting range. Soine of the other options we talked about are <br />Geauga County and Solon. They both have regional jails. I also spoke to Mark Guidetti this <br />afternoon about the possibility of negotiating with Cuyahoga County. They recently took over <br />the Euclid city jail. The problem is they are not offering it to municipalities for pre-sentence <br />incarceration which is from point of arrest until the person goes to trial. They are only offering it <br />to municipalities for those offenders who have been sentenced. Mark is going to inake some <br />overtures with the County and see what we can do. I just wanted to keep you advised. These are <br />some of the things I will be working on in the next few weeks. <br />Mr. Jerome asked, what does Gates Mills do? <br />Chief Edelman replied, they use Bedford Heights as well.
