National Police Week Mayoral Proclamation Presentation To The Huber Heights Police Division - Mayor Jeff Gore Mayor Gore read the proclamation and presented it to Police Chief Mark Lightner. He said he appreciates all the Police Division does in making this community the safe community it is. Police Chief Mark Lightner said police work has changed a lot in 34 years. He said now is one of the toughest times to be a police officer and he said he gives the new hires a lot of credit for doing what they do. He said it is a tough job and a lot of times they get double and triple guessed. He said he appreciates everything the men and women of the City’s Police Division do. He said a lot of members of this Police Division have left cities in the area to come here, but in his 34 years here no one has left the Huber Heights Police Division to go to a neighboring city. C. Mayoral Proclamation Presentation to Pam Byrd - Mayor Jeff Gore. Mayor Gore said Ms. Pam Byrd has been a staple in the Huber Heights City Schools for 42 years and she will be retiring on Thursday. He said he could not be more honored than to present this proclamation. He read the proclamation and presented it to Pam Byrd. Ms. Byrd thanked Mayor Gore and said this 42 years has been a blessing and never a dull moment. She said it has been an honor. 7. Citizens Comments Frank Wylie said he wanted to follow up on the Town Hall Meeting that Mayor Gore and Police Chief Mark Lightner held last month regarding traffic. He said there was a mention that this topic could be brought in front of Council to discuss if there was anything that could be done to help the Police Division by giving the Police Division extra resources. He asked if there are any current ideas of what could be coming to see how the Police Division can be helped for safer streets out there. Mayor Gore said the City has been hiring and the City is now at 54 police officers. He said Council has always been open to anything the Police Chief needs when it comes to public safety. Frank Wylie said there was discussion about not having a Traffic Division in particular, and there were budget considerations, and he wanted to see if anyone had thoughts or ideas about how to create a Traffic Division. He said police officers really cannot be dedicated to controlling the congested areas and high-speed areas such as Old Troy Pike and Brandt Pike and some of the neighborhoods brought up in conversation. Mayor Gore said the City will start discussions around the Capital Improvement Plan which is the beginning of budget discussions going into next year, so a Traffic Division is certainly something that can be talked about from a budgeting perspective.
