Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, January 21, 2025 <br />Page 5 <br />in grant money for the Special Unit Teams. That's for equipment we would have had to buy <br />anyway. It's not extra stuff. The fact that we are able to get it through grants has been quite a <br />bonus for us so we are going to keep on looking for ways to spend other people's money. <br />Locally, since I have been Chief we have been taking advantage of the Department of Justice's <br />bulletproof vest program where we are able to get reimbursed 50% for when officers need to have <br />their body armor replaced. In 2024, we got about $4,000 in reimbursements. Just over the past 5 <br />years we have received a little over $12,000. For last year for 2024 for our Continued Professional <br />Training requiring that all officers do 24 hours a year, we get reimbursed from the State of Ohio. <br />We received about $26,000 in salary reimbursements for our CPT training. We are always looking <br />for ways to get reimbursements or grant money. <br />On a sad note, two weeks ago I received a letter of resignation from Officer Zach Reiland. Right <br />now Zach has been serving as the SRO for the past three years for Center School. Zach is taking <br />a position with the U.S. Marshalls and will be relocating out of State. We are going to miss him <br />but I thank him for his 10 years of service and wish him the best of luck in his new career. His <br />last day is actually this Friday. That's all I have. Thank you. <br />Council President Schutt asked, any questions? <br />There were none. <br />Council President Schutt stated, thank you, Chief Matias. <br />Council President Schutt asked, are there any other Department Head reports this evening? <br />There were none. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Second Reading of Resolution No. 2024-71, entitled, "An Emergency Resolution <br />authorizing and directing the Mayor and President of Council to enter into a Development <br />Agreement with Premier Mayfield, LLC."
