Citizens Comments 

Roger Reedy, a property owner in Town, addressed the Council with a complaint over the wording on the sewer cut-off notice he recently received.  Mr. Reedy claimed there was an invalid statement about the W.C.S.A. reconnection fee.

Mr. Hayes stated he would attempt to contact Mr. Straten concerning funding. Mr. Hayes also commented that monies collected from the 2010 Trail Days will probably have to help with the expenses that will be incurred for repairing the pool. 

Planning Commission:

Mr. Sizemore had nothing to report. 

Police:

Chief Nunley submitted to the Council a detailed monthly report, as follows: 

      The Damascus Police Department has had a busy agenda for the month of January, with no serious incidents with the last snow storm. Numerous training days have been completed and meetings attended throughout the month. There has been a high call volume this month primarily due to weather related incidents.

       The Neighborhood Watch conducted there meeting on January 28th, 2010 where several topics were discussed. First, they would like to have the opportunity to plant flowers again this year, by doing so they will need to know how much money will be allotted to them, if any by the Town to complete this task. The group has planned to start a fund raiser in the very near future, this fundraiser will be a raffle for an antique shotgun that has been donated by one of the members of the Neighborhood Watch. We hope that this goes well and the drawing will be conducted at the completion of Trail Days.

       The Neighborhood Watch also would like to provide the opportunity for Businesses and individuals in the community to donate a small amount to the Neighborhood Watch program and in return a sign with the individuals name or business name will be placed in one of the flower barrels along town. The Neighborhood watch group would like to hear the thought of the council in reference to this. Also the Neighborhood Watch program would like to reserve the Town Park on Columbus Day October 11th, 2010 to have a Town Yard Sale and Craft Sale. The Neighborhood Watch group will have a small charge for each booth or table that is set up in the park and all monies received goes to the Neighborhood Watch program.

       The Police Department has received several complaints reference the tree that is located on the South end of the Town Park. This tree has been struck by several vehicles in the past few months. The tree does not appear to be in good condition and sets very close to the edge of the road. Upon speaking with these concerned individuals, I advised them that I would bring this to the councils attention during the next Council meeting. Another concern brought to my attention is trees on the Creeper Trail just past the Town Pool, traveling into town, that are leaning in the path of riders on the trail.

       The Damascus Explorer program is running well. These young individual now are training for a regional competition that will be hosted in the summer. They meet four times a month, two of those being on weekends, preparing for the event. If you know anyone between the ages of fourteen and twenty one that would like to participate with this program, please have them contact the Police Department for further information.

       The Police Department has been working hard with other law enforcement agencies to become one of the top agencies in providing additional training for all the departments in the area. For example, the Damascus Police Department will be hosting several classes in the upcoming months that will be available to all law enforcement agencies like Fire Investigator Certification starting July 12th, this will be a three week class and will be conducted at the Bingo Hall on South Shady Avenue. Other classes being made available are Bicycle safety training for the public and Police Bicycle certification.

       The Police Department is well under budget for the year and have been fortunate to receive numerous grants over the last few months. The department has applied for several other grants but the awards letters have not been received as of this date. New portable radios for the officers and new automatic external defibrillators are scheduled to arrive any day. These expensive items were the result of a Rescue Squad Grant that was made available after receiving our First Responder licensure. The Police Department in the near future will start conducting road checks in different areas of the town. This being part of the Highway Safety Grant. Also the purchase of another digital in-car camera and radar unit will be placed during the month of February, this being a part of the same grant. Upon speaking with the State, they assure that reimbursement time will be much quicker due to changes that have been made in the last six months.

Mr. Upchurch reported that the underground tank has been removed and a new above ground tank has been installed; and the generator is now on-line and ready to use.  Also, Alan Roberts has received the certification required for water testing, etc…

Mr. Greer asked if there is a way to adjust sewer bills for residents who have had a water line break between the meter and the house, and could prove that there was a break and it has been fixed.   In this situation the water would be passing through the meter (causing the bill to increase), but not actually going into the home, or being used.

Mayor Jones answered that the sewer bills are based solely on the water readings (from the meters) sent to the Town by the W.C.S.A., and there is no other method of billing in place.

The Council had a discussion on the topic and decided to turn it over to the Sewer Committee for discussion at their next scheduled meeting.

Police:

Chief Nunley submitted to the Council a detailed monthly report, as follows: 

      The month of February has been busy for the Police Department, primarily due to weather related incidents causing an increase for calls for service. Due to weather, the monthly Neighborhood Watch meeting was cancelled, as well as some of the training events scheduled for the Explorer Post.

       The 1997 Chevrolet Astro Van now parked in the rear lot was confiscated in November 2009 during a narcotic arrest in town. The vehicle has 118,000 miles and appears to be in good running condition. This vehicle has been awarded to the Town of Damascus by the courts. This judgment will be final on April 30th, 2010 after the completion of the Circuit Court ruling. The Town of Damascus will own this vehicle until the decision is made to sell. When the vehicle is sold, the Town of Damascus will receive 33 and one third percent of the amount received. The Commonwealth Attorneys Office and Department of Criminal Justice Services will receive the same.

       Due to the weather, the Police Department has not been able to participate in the Click it or Ticket, or any of the other highway safety campaigns, but is scheduled to start during the month of March. This includes additional saturation patrols and road checks. The portable radar sign that was used during April and May of 2009 is scheduled to be back in town during the month of April, if not earlier. If you have a particular location that you would like this radar sign placed, feel free to contact me at the office or send an e-mail to bnunley400@yahoo.com.
