RECOGNITION
Police Chief Berry recognized Police Officer Brent Obermark for his hard work and
diligence in solving a scam case about equipment that was stolen from Kentucky
Hydropower. The scammers had their headquarters in Canada.
SPOTLIGHT
Per the City Commission Highlights reported by Public Information Officer Pam Spencer:
"Public Information Officer Pam Spencer invited Network Administrator Eric Stuber and
Acting Assistant Police Chief Brandon Barnhill to demonstrate the Police Department's
internal software program that was designed and implemented by Stuber. The customized
program called the Police Department Portal was written in-house saving the City
approximately $30,000. Plus, there are no maintenance contracts or future development
costs. The software improves internal communication, reduces the amount of paper used in
the department, and prevents the duplication of information. Officers can view the
information from any networked computer and through the wireless hotspots around the
City. Prior to the implementation of the software, daily logs of information were kept in a
three-ring binder."
MINUTES
Commissioner Abraham offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Gault, that the
reading of the Minutes for the December 14th, 2010, and January 4th, 2011 meetings be
