B) POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> Police Chief Alan Cockrill addressed the Council with his monthly report. He <br /> provided the monthly stats on accidents and arrest. He also reported that he <br /> currently has four officers attending the academy and two part-time officers helping fill <br /> the vacancies. The department has logged over 4500 hours of volunteer service this <br /> year. <br /> C) ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> City Engineer Damon Johnson addressed the Council with his monthly report. He <br /> said the sewer line replacement on Westside is almost complete, except for what will <br /> be contracted out. Most of the focus will be moving to East Batesville and hopefully <br /> that area will be completed in approximately a year. We are on schedule with both of <br /> these projects. Both the Water and Wastewater plants are operating good. <br /> Wastewater is pushing to complete all of the warranty issues. The Street Department <br /> is working on the the for the Fitzhugh Street extension. <br /> Mr. Johnson also reported on the fuel system. He passed out some numbers and <br /> discussed the pros and cons of replacing our old system or doing away with it and <br /> entering into an agreement with Littlefield Oil Company to purchase fuel at any of <br /> their locations. After a discussion, Councilmember Beller asked Mr. Johnson to get <br /> some hard numbers on replacing the system and they would look more closely at the <br /> options during the budget process. Councilmember Bryant asked how close we are <br /> to letting bids for the project on Westside and Mr. Johnson said they are still working <br /> on easements. <br />
