2026-10-15 - Public Safety Committee

Summary

Built from the amended agenda (amended October 13) and the draft minutes copied into a later agenda packet (unapproved, read from a scanned document, so names and figures may be garbled) found in the October 19 packet. No video exists. The draft minutes have the meeting called to order by Chairperson Payton, so the committee chair is uncertain (the Agenda Center pattern lists Willie Williams).

• Fire department reported fully staffed, with 341 calls year to date and a new truck expected next month. See Public Safety Staffing and Calls.
• Police reported understaffed, with three recruits in the academy and 591 calls last month. See Public Safety Staffing and Calls.
• Police Chief Willie J. Burley retires December 31, 2026; a work session on a successor is planned. See Police Chief Retirement and Succession.
