Study Session - Personnel Policies Review There was discussion on compensatory time. It was decided to eliminate comp time as of July 1, 1991. Every pay period, ten hours of comp time should be paid to bring the total down. If we are to pay all overtime, it should be budgeted. If too much overtime is being paid, it indicates we need to hire another employee. Concerning sick/personal time, ten days of sick time and two personal leave days was suggested. The sick time and personal time would be lost if not used in the fiscal year. It was sug- gested that a doctor's excuse be required for more than three days absence. Holiday pay must be addressed at a future work session, and stating what is paid upon resignation, retirement, or termina- tion.

Fire Department EMT Cost A report on the budgetary needs of the Fire Department were distributed. Elwin Clifton, 10720 Lettuce Lane, said Avra Valley Chief Stewart will cover Marana until our Fire Department is on its feet. It had been stated the Town would help the Fire Department if we had a windfall. The latest reports indicate we do have a windfall. David Morales said we can now be proud of our Fire Department. They are asking only bare minimum. Mr. Morales moved that we grant the Marana Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. $31,211.30 in five months. The motion died for lack of a second. Doug Mostyn pointed out the total on the report is incorrect. Bill Schisler said the rapid turnover of personnel making the department too unstable. He said we $10,000, but we cannot tell them how to use it. bothers him, could donate Bill Schisler moved that the Town of Marana donate $10,000 to the Marana Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. The motion was seconded by David Morales. Bob McCrea said he has problems with the motion as the Town still has considerable debt and some departments are over budget. Maybe a decision later in the fiscal year would be more appropri- ate. Mayor Harn asked Chief Insalaco if $10,000 would just prolong the agony, and he said yes. Jeffrey Stewart, Chief of Avra Valley Fire Department, said they are covering Marana as long as help is needed, and an EMT here would be redundant. Their response time recently was five minutes, while Marana's response time was 18 minutes. Barry Gerber, 12635 N. White, said Council should put any extra money where it will do some good.

Effective February 9, 1991 David Morales felt that if we hang in there, we will get a future windfall, so he can't support the resolution. Lynn Radcliffe feels a windfall will never happen. He has looked into a CJEF grant for equipment, salary, narcotics dog, car, and uniform. He has tentatively put in motion to return Jerry Pipes to Marana on February 9. Council would like to have input from M.A.N.T.I.S. administrators. Bill Schisler moved to continue this at the February 19 meeting. The motion was seconded by David Morales and carried. XI. F. 2.

E±leen Dilts Town Clerk PETITIONS AND COMMENg~S MARANA TOWN COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 5, 1991 Madam Mayor, Members of the Council; My name is Edward Arrighi, I reside at 8555 W. Road and I am a registered voter. I have been asked to spokesperson by a group of other concerned citizens and here in Marana. Tangerine be a We would like to make some brief comments regarding the Police Department and the services which it provides to our community. We have been told that both the Department and it's leadership have come into question and that some possible action regarding the continuation of that leadership may occur. It appears to us that the questions raised are the result of a small but vocal group of citizens who seem to have a distorted view of the business of law enforcement. These views have been expressed in a subversive manner and vindictively towards specific individuals. In our opinion, if the citizens of Marana cannot raise themselves above such petty bickering, the plans we all share for a growing and thriving community will go unfulfilled. Unfortunately, minuscule factions of malcontents like these are usually quite verbal in their actions. In this situation, we feel it is imperative that the voices of other citizens and voters be heard on the record. We are here to speak in favor of all of the various departments of the Town oi Marana and to recognize the hard work that goes on in spite of seriously limited resources, equipment and personnel. Our voices are not heard as often as those other, usually negative voices, but please, do not make the mistake of believing that we are not out here. Further, we feel that our viewpoints on this issue are well-informed and based on extensive personal experience. We therefore request that the Council consider carefully the following opinions in whatever discussions and/or actions may be forthcoming regarding the Marana Police Department and it's Chief. We have absolute faith in the current Police Chief, and in the Policemen, staff and programs which he directs. Our experiences have been very positive with him personally and the skill, pride and effectiveness displayed by his Officers speaks more than words ever could regarding the respect that his staff displays. Our law enforcement needs are served with courtesy, interest and professionalism at all times. When it has been necessary to call for service, the response has been both prompt and effective. We have been made to feel that we are welcome to register any complaints to Chief Radcliffe and he always takes the time to discuss our concerns. FEBRUARY 5, 1991 MARANA TOWN COUNCIL PAGE 2 Many of us remember a time when we felt much less secure than we do now under the protection Chief Radcliffe's Department. He has brought with him, training, experience and eificiency which he has imparted to his staff. The result is a safer community and respect from other law enforcement agencies. We have talked to other agencies and they have told us of their respect for him, and their admiration for his methods. Additionally, they have praised the successes which have been realized by this small Pulice Department when working with little more than basic equipment. Chief Radcliffe was recently referred to as the "shining star of the premier small Police Department in the state". We believe that, and would vigorously disagree should t~is body consider · not supporting him, or his continued service to us. We have seen with our own eyes his Officers working many hours, on their own, without pay, and without complaining if not even cheerfully in order to protect us. We think this is rare and very commendable. They do it because of a commitment to excellence which is displayed by the Chief, and by a determination to always do their best, regardless. These same Officers say that he is a fair man and that he stands behind them when they need him, but he'll have their heads if they are wrong. Our impression of the Chief agrees with that of hid Officers. He is fair and compassionate, but, strict when the situation requires it. When some of us have complained about the Town Council, he has been quick to defend you. When we have questioned political priorities, he has been patient and pleasant in explaining them to us, alleviating our concerns and leaving us more informed. We see that growth and development in Marana are inevitable. As the Town grows, we urge you to allow the benefit of Chief Radcliffe's leadership, insights and personal commitment to be a part of that growth. Thank you. FEBRUARY 5, 1991 DAN GROSECLOSE 14200 W. IMOGENE PLACE MARANA, ARIZONA 85653 MADAM MAYOR/COUNCILMEMBERS I have been a resident of Marana for 14 years. During that time I have served the Town as Budget Committee Chairman, Planning & Zoning Commission and five years as Councilman. I was on the council that hired Lynn Radcliffe as Chief of Police. Lynn was highly recommended for the position by our previous Chief, Dave Holloway. At that time, we discussed Lynn's qualifications and previous background throughly. The council vigorously supported hiring Lynn at that time, and during the last 4 years I have seen no change in the dedication or commitment that Lynn continually demonstrates. Over the years, I have personally perceived one Councilmembers continued apparent "Personal Grudge" aimed at the Chief. I do not understand what transpired to cause those feelings, but I believe the Town and this Council is aware of Lynn's true worth to the Town of Marana. I clipped an article from the Tucson Newspaper that has a little story I would like to read in part. "NOBODY'S FRIEND" MY NAME IS GOSSIP. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR JUSTICE. I MAIM WITHOUT KILLING. I BREAK HEARTS AND RUIN LIVES. I AM CUNNING AND MALICIOUS AND GATHER STRENGTH WITH AGE. THE MORE I AM QUOTED, THE MORE I AM BELIEVED. MY VICTIMS ARE HELPLESS. THEY CANNOT PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST ME BECAUSE I HAVE NO NAME AND NO FACE. TO TRACK ME DOWN IS IMPOSSIBLE. THE HARDER YOU TRY, THE MORE ELUSIVE I BECOME. I AM NOBODY'S FRIEND. ONCE I TARNISH A REPUTATION, IT IS NEVER THE SAME. I TOPPLE GOVERNMENTS AND WRECK MARRIAGES. I RUIN CAREERS AND CAUSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, HEARTACHES, AND INDIGESTION. I MAKE INNOCENT PEOPLE CRY IN THEIR PILLOWS. EVEN MY NAME HISSES. I AM CALLED GOSSIP. I MAKE HEADLINES AND HEARTACHES. BEFORE YOU REPEAT A STORY ASK YOURSELF: IS IT TRUE? IS IT HARMLESS? IS IT NECESSARY? IF IT ISN'T, DON'T REPEAT IT. I question the motives behind this inquisition. Nothing could be more harmful to Lynn Radcliffe, or the Town of Marana. I am at least consoled in the fact that I am sure this council will review the circumstances and determine that there is no substance to this inquiry.
