REPORTS Mayor Kennedy: • The Mayor gave Detective Bill Saringer a Proclamation from State Representative Dave Greenspan for being named the 2017 Virgil McDaniel Award recipient from the Western Cuyahoga Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 25. Chief Wagner presented Mr. Saringer with a Community Service Award. Mr. Saringer thanked the Police Chief, Council, the Mayor and Administration along with everyone from the Police and Fire Departments. He said he does this because giving back to the community is what policing is all about, but that he couldn't do it without the help of all of his brothers and sisters in blue. • Next the Mayor swore Eric Morgan in as Lieutenant. Chief Wagner said it is a natural progression for Mr. Morgan to go from Sergeant to Lieutenant. Chief Wagner said he has done an excellent job for the City and he is also working on a Master's degree. • Next the Mayor swore Angel Walling in as Sergeant. Chief Wagner said this has been a long time coming for Sergeant Walling. He said Angel has done a great job for the City. Chief Wagner said he is sure she will be a Lieutenant or even higher sometime down the road. He said what makes this even greater though is Sergeant Walling is the first female officer in North Olmsted to make rank. • Lastly, the Mayor swore in Officer Nicklas Gorbuja. Chief Wagner said six months ago the average age of the Police Department was about 47 years old.
