Interim Delta Police Chief Sgt. Drew Walker reported an upcoming sick leave for one of the village’s full-time officers will require the contracting of a Fulton County Sheriff’s Office deputy to cover two 12-hour shifts.

According to Walker, the department currently has four full-time officers and three part-time officers, where full staffing would be seven full-time and two part-time officers, counting the chief.

With the officer taking two weeks of sick leave, a total of 24 hours of shift coverage will be required.


No action was required to authorize the action according to Law Director Kevin Heban, who said the cost fell below the spending limit which requires council approval.

Mayor Allen Naiber reported the second set of interviews for police chief applicants will “hopefully” take place next week, with a resolution coming to the council to hire at the next meeting.

OTHER BUSINESS


The council approved Halloween trick-or-treating hours to be set for 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 31.

Alice Rychener appeared on behalf of the park board to turn in the money raised to cover the cost of address signs for park buildings.

The signs will allow people in emergency situations at the buildings to provide emergency responders with an actual address to improve response times.


Rychener turned the funds over to Assistant Finance Director Marlena Allwood, who will provide a check to Rychener to pay the invoice for the signs.

The council gave final approval of a resolution authorizing the chief of police or the village administrator to sell surplus property through the GovDeals website, “including motor vehicles, road machinery, equipment, tools, or supplies that are not needed for public use, or are obsolete or unfit for the use of which they were acquired,” also authorizing them to establish any other terms or conditions of sale as they deem appropriate.

The council gave final approval of a resolution updating the village’s impound lot policy, changing the towing rate from $125 to instead conform to whatever the village is charged by the towing service.

The next regular meeting of the Delta Village Council will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, October 28, at 401 Main Street in Delta.
