Upon arrival deputies determined Teixeira was operating a 2002 Volvo 4-door westbound on Holland Loop Road near the intersection of Hummingbird Lane where the vehicle traveled off the road and struck a tree. Teixeira was the only occupant and was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were involved. Illinois Valley Funeral Directors are in charge of arrangements. Sheriff updates task force, advises patience Kate Dwyer IVCDO 20/20 coordinator On June 15 Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel attended the Illinois Valley Public Safety Task Force meeting to report on post- levy progress and the status of his department. Voters in November approved a public safety levy of 93 cents per $1,000 assessed property values, with 9 cents of that designated to the Juvenile Justice department. The I.V. Public Safety Task Force meets monthly to advance safety goals in the Valley under the I.V. 20/20 Strategic Plan. Meetings are open to the public. “The Board of County Commissioners has kept their promises and so have I,” Daniel explained. “They passed my proposed budget, BY THE YARD: BY THE BAG/TOTE: Rock 1 Yard Tote Sand Perlite (4 C.F.)

He said this funding “frees up” money which is being used to develop additional patrols in the county. And the department has many positions to fill. “We are slammed, and I’ll take it,” stated Daniel, “It’s a good problem to have.” Daniel described his department’s hiring tasks at length and that each new position needs a job description and multiple aspects of paperwork support. Daniel described how his team went into overdrive and got all of those documents in place much more quickly than expected. Now begins the task of recruiting, interviewing candidates and hiring. Some of the hires are internal; Daniel expressed his pleasure at being able to promote talented people from within. But each reassignment means time to recruit, hire and train replacements. The whole process takes much more time than might be assumed by someone who has not experienced staffing a large, complex team. Patrol personnel need to attend weeks-long trainings and certification programs, which may not be immediately available even if the candidate is ready to start. “I stand by my original projection that we will have the entire plan functioning in eleven months,” Daniel said. Daniel reported that morale is very high in his department as people look forward to being able to better serve their community. He also shared that he has many strong candidates coming forward for positions, and he has confidence that he will be able to build a highly qualified team, including the three promised “resident deputies.” These will be people who live in and interact with their service areas, which will be Illinois Valley, Murphy, and North Valley. The 19 community members assembled at the Task Force meeting, which included Chris Mallette of the I.V. Safe House Alliance who asked about the enforcement of restraining orders. After answering her question at length, Daniel invited her to share her deep knowledge of this topic by presenting at a staff briefing. In conclusion, Daniel advised that we cultivate patience and stay tuned. He also told the Task Force that the County, in an effort to keep his salary in line with the sheriffs in the surrounding counties, offered him a routine raise. “I said, ‘Heck no,’” with a chuckle, “That is not the message I am trying to send.”
