Village of Ladd Police Committee met April 6
Here are the minutes provided by the committee:
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Frank Cattani at 2:05 pm. Pledge Allegiance to the American Flag was recited by all in attendance.
Members of Public Body In Attendance and others: President Frank Cattani, Police Committee Members Jim
Manning (via FaceTime) & Dave Margherio, Village Clerk Rhonda Bezely, and Police Chief Jacob Frund.
Public Comment: None
Purpose of Meeting: Discuss Police Administration Assistant, Tactical Team, Employees
Summary of Discussion: Chief Frund told the committee that he no longer needs to use Sammi as an Administrative Assistant for the Police Department. She has been a huge help in getting things caught up and organized. He appreciated her help very much. Margherio mentioned he was very frustrated at the last meeting because he is on the Police Committee and knew nothing about the agenda item regarding extra help in the clerk’s office which was explained by Cattani as Police Department and Clerk’s Office help. He felt this was unacceptable in the future. He would like to discuss these things with the committee before the board meetings. Manning agreed things were very confusing. He now agrees that he understands that Frund doesn’t need Sammi’s help anymore and the discussion on extra help in the Clerk’s office will be handled at the regular board meeting Tuesday night. Discussion ensued on allowing part-time officer Adam Conness to work in excess of 1,000 hours annually. This will be addressed at the 4-25-23 board meeting. Frund explained the tactical team and how he has been a part of it in the past. Things are more concerning than ever and he would like to take the squad home in an effort to respond to this team from his home ready with all equipment and uniform necessary. The committee agreed and also Village President Cattani.
The meeting adjourned at 2:44 pm
