SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING 297

TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1997, 7 P.m.

The Mayor asked Chief Hyatt to come up and explain the need for overtime for some officers, which she had authorized.

The Chief said that he had authorized 65 1/2 hours of overtime at a cost of $1052.39 over the course of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He said due to the rash of vandalism, and burglaries, once they get a lead, they need to run with it. He said he will still need some limited overtime for the Jazz Festival, but that he had a cushion in the budget and he wasn’t overdrawn yet. He said that the overtime costs resulted in 5 arrests, with the Auditorium burglary solved. The arrests were all juveniles who seemed to run together in the same group.

Alderman Jeffrey made the motion to approve overtime as needed. Alderwoman Dickens seconded. All were in favor, by roll call, 6/0/0.

Alderman Freeland asked if the Chief will be short handed with some of the officers going to school and vacations and everything. The Chief said that everything would be covered barring sickness or injury.

The motion was made and seconded to adjourn. All were in favor, 6/0/0.

Barbara A. O’Harris, Mayor
