"Jack" Primm, Police Chief Lewis L. Phillips, Jr., and City Manager Gary A. Price. very important position in any community, and Sanibel is no excep- tion, is that of Police Chief; therefore, serious consideration is neces- Asary. A committee comprised of citizens and department directors interviewed two candidates for this position, Assistant Chief Lewis L. Phillips, Jr. and Commander John R. "Jack" Primm. The committee has determined that both candidates are qualified, and that both candidates would bring their own strengths to the position. A wise move would be to utilize the strengths of both candidates for the good of the community. Therefore, I will follow the majority recommendation of the committee, with gratitude, and appoint Lewis L. Phillips, Jr as Sanibel's newest Police Chief. Furthermore, to take full advantage of the strengths of both candidates, I have, with the complete support of the new Police Chief, appointed John R "Jack" Primm as Deputy Police Chief. These two individuals will be an unbeatable force to carry on the leadership of the Sanibel Police Department. This young lad took to the "hands-on" toys at last year's Antique Toy Show at Gary A.
