<br />Regular Meeting JUlY~, 1986 Page 11
<br />
<br />
<br />Mr. Guerra moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading and
<br />Mr. Coddington seconded the motion. The Council expressed concern
<br />for the City's expense in officers using City equipment during special
<br />service assignments. Ms. Oliver advised the Council the $19.00 includes
<br />FICA, TMRS WC and administrative costs but does not include cost of
<br />gas, expense of operating police car, liability, etc. Mike Wood ad-
<br />vised the Council approximately 1,000 hours per year are in special
<br />services. He stated 95% of this 1,000 hours are involved with funeral
<br />processions which extend 1-1/2 to 2 miles. Mr. Wood advised the officers
<br />are responsible for maintaing the uniforms and equipment out of their
<br />own pockets. Mr. Gonzalez advised the Council a separate line item
<br />for special assignments could be made. Mr. Guerra expressed a concern
<br />whether the City needed to provide officers for city's use regarding
<br />special services. Mr. Wood stated the officers were providing protection
<br />during funeral services to control traffic congestion and that the de-
<br />partment had the manpower to provide this service to the community.
<br />Mr. Brown stated he felt preventive benefits to the City should be a
<br />part of the Council's concern and thinks the service is valuable. Mr.
<br />Nicola was concerned with the City's charge for funeral escort service.
<br />Chief Galchutt advised the Council the City used to provide the service
<br />with no charge and that the Ordinance provided the officers could not
<br />contract on their own as the Highway Department does, which would be a
<br />bad liability situation to be placed in. Chief Galchutt stated it pre-
<br />vents incidents from occurring and that we are receiving reimbursement
<br />of services. The City Manager is to provide more information to the
<br />Council at the next reading regarding whether or not the City can regulate
<br />the funeral home's charge for escort services. The Council voted unani-
<br />mously for approval of the Ordinance on first reading.
<br />
<br />Mayor Younger introduced for consideration reconsideration of Zoning
<br />Ordinances adopted by the City Council on June 23, 1986. It was con-
<br />sensus of the Council not to reconsider any of the Ordinances. The
