COUNCIL PERMITS ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICER TO BE ADDED IN JULY, 1965.
reported that during 1965 Budget discussions it was agreed by the Council that
instead of adding one Police Officer and one Fireman, as the Departments had
requested, that two Police Officers would be added and no additional Firemen.
After thorough analysis, it is determined that the present Fire manpower is not
sufficient to provide adequate immediate response,
that during weekends and after 4230 P.M., there are frequently only three men .
on duty. When only two men respond with a piece of equipment, only one of them
is able to enter a structure while the other readies the apparatus.

Moreover, the present amount of high buildings and industrial structures being built
in the Village places an on-duty force of three men in an inadequate position.

Therefore, Hyde stated, it appears necessary that an additional Fireman should be added in July, 1965, in addition to the two additional Police Officers. This would
commit the Council to an additional Police Officer in 1966, while not affecting the
dollar amount of the 1965 Budget since the additions would take place in the last
six months of the year, splitting the salary of one man for a full year.
Bredesen stated that this recommendation was based on the assumption that the Council
would increase the 1966 Police manpower budget by at least one man.
