[0:06] Good evening. Welcome to the August 4th city council meeting. Please join me for a moment of silence in the pledge of allegiance
[0:28] to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it
[0:34] stands.
[0:41] Okay, Miss Olowski, roll call, please. Michelle Vult
[0:47] here. Luke Kelly here. John Burmel here. Dan Walter here.
[0:52] And Joshua Lee is absent. Okay. Uh, moving on to item number three, citizens comments. There's an
[0:58] opportunity for anybody to address the council for up to three minutes about an issue not on the agenda. Seeing none.
[1:05] Okay. Um, additional agenda information, Mr. Miller?
[1:10] Nothing tonight, Mayor. Okay. And we will then get right into our presentation with our police department quarterly report. We'll turn
[1:17] it over to Chief Pollson for the rundown.
[1:28] Hopefully, you don't have it memorized. I don't,
[1:34] but I have a backup, but we're on board now. So, uh, so this is our quarter 2 report, uh, covering the months of April
[1:41] through June of this year. And all of the work that we do is framed under our mission statement, which says, "A Lake
[1:47] Police Department exists to ensure an excellent quality of life in Lakeville by serving and protecting in a
[1:52] professional and innovative way." So, kind of the theme of quarter two for
[1:58] us was uh some transition uh and using a sports analogy was more like uh a couple
[2:03] of line changes than substitutions, but we had a lot of movement um but some some positive movement. So, as you can
[2:10] see here, four retirements uh over the course of a few weeks in late June and the first couple days of July, about 120
[2:18] years of dedicated service to Lakefield PD with those four gentlemen there. So losing a lot of uh really good people, a
[2:25] lot of experience uh but really happy to see them enjoying uh moving into the next phase, the retirement phase of
[2:30] their lives. So Commander Jim Punchikar who was our uh administrative commander,
[2:36] uh Bill Gur who was our operations commander, Jason Pollinsky, who was most recently in professional standards but
[2:42] had touched a lot of different units in the in the PD. and then Doyle Cochril who was our senior sergeant uh who had
[2:49] been a supervisor for about seven years prior to his retirement. So
[2:54] uh proud of the work that all four of those gentlemen uh provided to the city.
[3:00] With that obviously comes some uh some back filling. So uh three new lieutenants. We did a little bit of a of
[3:06] a restructure. So we've added three lieutenants to the two current existing lieutenants. that these are are u new
[3:14] faces to the to the lieutenant role. On the left there, Jeff Hansen, who will be our support lieutenant. In the middle is
[3:20] Thor How, who will be uh our professional standards lieutenant. And then Jeremy Lurfeld on the right, uh
[3:25] moving into operations, where he'll join Jason Haidider to oversee primarily our patrol divisio…
