Shepherd informed the coun- cil that the current fi rearms used by the department—Glock 21s— were more than 10 years old and in need of new night sights. Th e replacement costs were estimated at $4,375. “Th e need for replacing the night sights brought forward a discussion and opportunity to re- place the current handguns and purchase 9mm handguns for a minimal investment,” Shepherd wrote in his request to the board. Th e police chief cited a cost savings for the switch but also noted the department has hired new offi cers with smaller hands and the 9mm would provide an easier fi t. “I want to just make clear that our offi cers have qualifi ed at Birthday from A1 attendants — without the assistance of a walker. “She gets up and dresses herself,” Epperson said.

Offi cers could keep hold more ammunition, place more shots on the target and increased offi cer comfort. Additionally, Shepherd said ammunition for the new guns would be cheaper than the cur- rent fi rearms. Th e department plans to sell its current guns for approximately $400 each, totaling $14,000 and purchase 30 9mm handguns for $12,270—or $409 each. Shepherd also informed the council that the department lost its ability to record non-emer- gency calls aft er a recent server failure and would need to replace the system. “Police radio traffi c and 911 lines are currently recording us- ing a multimedia logging Stancil Recording System,” Shepherd wrote. He told the board that non-emergency calls could be shift ed to this system as well for a service cost of approximately $2,670. Th e board approved both re- quests. Last meeting: Aft er eight years, Burback saw is last city council meeting having lost his seat to Candace Lamb-Solsbee in the Novem- ber election. Councilor Kenneth Roberts, Jake Boone, Mayor Jeff Gowing and City Manager Rich- ard Meyers thanked Burback— who turned his name plate upside down for this last meeting-- for his service. avid reader and has one of the only painted bedrooms in Magnolia Gardens — a light shade of pink. Whetham was married twice; fi rst to Lorne War- ner who passed away aft er a battle with cancer, then to Henry Whetham. She had two sons, one who she outlived and an- other who resides on the coast. Whetham isn’t one to talk about herself but a hum of “tell what the doctor said,” emerges from the group when Epperson steps up as the messenger. “Th e doctor said she should use a walker,” Epper- son said. “Vickie told him, ‘walkers are for old people.’” at $19,054.38, 2016 at $26,397.12 and 2017 at $30,297. With the $9,631 of maintenance on the books for this year, the total of the last fi ve years is currently at $97,358.30. Payments that were further back were not presented nor were mainte- nance costs of other schools around the district to com- pare. Th e next fi ve years of maintenance would cost an estimated $744,000 with $353,000 of that being covered by bond dollars. When asked about the validity of the estimated costs by the board, Allen stood by the fi gures. “I think that’s pretty ac- curate, actually,” he said. Adding, “Th is isn’t just pulling numbers out of the air. We kind of accom- modated what that would take.” Allen was then asked about how long the build- ing would be able to last if all these things were done to help improve it. “I’m not good at that. It’s somebody smarter than me to tell me. But I know if you’ve got a good roof, you’ve got good siding and your building envelope is tight and you are heating it well and it’s ventilated well and you’re moving air: buildings last,” he said. If Latham were to close, it would cost the district a one-time fee of between $10,000 and $15,000 to stop using the school but keep it in good condition. Th at does not include heating prices that would continue while it is closed until a decision would be made on the property.
