Council Minutes of 10-17-2017 Council President Jones reminded Council and the audience the next Council Meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 8`" as Election Day is on November 7. The Mayor swore in Robert Wagner as North Olmsted's new Police Chief. A copy of the oath is included with the minutes. Chief Wagner thanked everyone in attendance and said it shows the City has faith in him as the new leader. He said he is super excited to take on the role. He thanked the Mayor and all of the Directors. Chief Wagner said there were great candidates involved in the process and anyone of them would have been a good choice. He said when he left the State Highway Patrol 20 years ago to join the North Olmsted Police Department he wasn't sure if it was the right move in his life and he can honestly look back and say it's been a great time. He once again expressed his thanks to everyone including Council, the Civil Service Commission, his family, the guys in the room that have worked with him, he's worked for or had worked for him. He thanked the guys in the bureau and said he wouldn't be able to accomplish the things he has without those guys doing the job they do every day. He thanked his wife and gave her flowers. Chief Wagner said this is not only a token for what she has done, but what she is going to go through in the future. Chief Wagner said in today's climate it is tough to be a cop and everyone knows they are under huge scrutiny, but he is looking forward to the challenge. He said what he can tell the public is you couldn't ask for a better group, from the guys in the bureau, Sue Waddell, Captain Cox, the support staff, dispatchers to auxiliary. He said if he forgot anybody, he is sorry. With the agenda being completed and there being no further business to come before Council, President Jones adjourned the Council meeting at approximately 8:26 p.m. Charles Massarolo II, Clerk of Council Nicole Dailey Jones, Pes' t of Council G
