CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 9 STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Pecchia, Interim City Administrator WORK SESSION DATE: January 6, 2025 TOPIC: Public Safety Organization Update Background To minimize disruption to the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department during the transition period of Director Swenson's retirement and the completion of the City Gate analysis, I am proposing the following organization changes to the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department. This timeline will help strengthen the ability of the organization to maintain services to the community without interruption. The Fire Division will be led by Interim Fire Chief L'Allier. The Fire Chief will report directly to the City Administrator. • The fire department will be responsible for their training, hiring and background investigations. (These duties were formally completed by the Captain in the Department of Public Safety) The Police Division will be led by Interim Public Safety Director Boehme. • The former Deputy Director of Police will assume the patrol sergeant's position vacated by Interim Public Safety Director Boehme. • The former Captain will assume the role of Administrative Sergeant which will entail supervising the administrative and investigative functions of the police department until the return of a patrol sergeant who is on worker's compensation leave. The organizational chart will look as follows: Chien Director Cun Adm Ma w— AaaiateM Datrot Serpent I I Pwot Sergeant I I Patrol Sarpant I I Petrol Serpent I I AdIIAM,11e11ve Al Shnt A2 snm Bt shrh B2 Shm Serpent Kyle Can Katw Man C Wiliam CSO SPO Datroi I Patrol I I Parrot I I Petrol I PTU Paoorda . y.a Man F Austin Kenny Knssy Sam Lau ran TeChnidena Adam Z.
