CONSENT CALENDAR MOTION
Motion by Herfert and seconded by McFadden to waive further
reading of the ordinance and resolutions and to adopt, and to
approve all other items listed on the Consent Calendar, except for
Item C-10i (removed by Wong). Motion carried by roll call vote:
AYES: Herfert, Manners, McFadden, Wong, Touhey
NOES: None
Item C-10i In relation to the proposed reclassification of the Photo Technician
to a Community Services Officer, Councilmember Wong expressed
concern over the quality of the crime scene photos that would be
used in court proceedings. The expertise of a well -trained photo-
grapher avoids the mistakes that happen with point -and -shoot photo-
graphy. He asked Police Chief Distelrath if he was comfortable with
the reclassification.
Chief Distelrath acknowledged that the City was well -served
in the past by the photographer whose position is now vacant. How-
ever, the fingerprint detection system (Item C-9d) and the forensic
mapping system (Item C-9c) authorized for purchase this evening
will do far more things for the police at crime scenes than a photo-
graph could do.
Motion by Manners and seconded by Herfert to approve Item
C-10i as recommended by staff. Motion carried 4-1 with Wong
voting no.
