Police Report: Chief Gill said that the new police reporting system is taking ½ the time to enter information into the
computer; FCC radio frequency is going to require narrow band. The Streets Department’s radios are obsolete and will
need to be changed in the next couple years; we may be able to purchase refurbished radios. He would like council to
consider buying a server for our computers because they are very slow and this would speed things up; if we have a
server the officers will be able to do reports in their cars. Council might consider moving back the no parking sign on
the corner of N. Main Street maybe a ½ car length to help truck traffic make turns onto Route 118; recently there have
been vehicles that couldn’t make the turn so traffic came to a virtual stand still.
Asked for Council approval of the sale of 2300 rounds of # 308 ammo to a private citizen. He would like to keep the
name private; the Solicitor said it was a matter of public record and has to be recorded in the minute. Mook moved to
table, seconded by Smith. The chief contacted the interested party and he gave permission to make his name known.
Savage moved to take off the table, seconded by Smith. Motion passed. Mook moved to sell Rodney Confer 2300
rounds of ammo at the price of $999, seconded by Smith. Motion passed.
