Regular Council Meeting <br />8-13-01 <br />Page 6 <br />Council President Marquardt asked if there were any further comments. <br />Council President Marquardt said he talked to Chief Stevens also. The only issue he still has is that <br />there is no operating procedure for this. He believes that an operating procedure is necessary--not <br />only to say when this vehicle is going to be used, but when it is not going to be used. This is a <br />vehicle that should never be displayed with pride, never go in parades or displayed at community <br />home days, etc. This vehicle should be kept locked away and used when it's needed. He hopes that <br />goes into the operating procedure and is abided by all the communities. This is not a point of pride; <br />it is really a failure of our society that requires this type of vehicle. <br />Chief Stevens said after their conversation, he talked with a majority of the SPAN Chiefs who also <br />share our concern. He volunteered to be one of the authors of that policy with the understanding that <br />we can be overruled by the Mayors but he doubts they would be on this issue. <br />Council President Marquardt said he understands the need for the vehicle but thinks we should keep <br />it under wraps and not have it perceived to be a show of force. <br />There were no further comments. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Resolution Adopted <br />OPEN PORTION - 3 minute limit imposed by Chair.
