1 <br />1 <br />Police interviews — David J. Peechia <br />Page 10 <br />Mr. Peechia said he had worked with both of these situations and <br />could see both of them working. He does see the need for more <br />officers on the street taking care of the peoples needs. <br />Council Member Neal asked Mr. Peechia how he intended to develop a <br />relationship with the Administrator and the City Council. <br />Mr. Peechia said that would come through communication. You relate <br />where you want the LLPD to go, and my job would be to let you know <br />if we can do that. Policy would be set by the City Council and Mr. <br />Schumacher and he would try to implement the policy. <br />Council Member Neal said that apparently Mr. Peechia did believe in <br />the chain of command - if a problem did come up with men going to <br />the City Council, what would be done to that officer. <br />Mr. Peechia said he would set parameters up at the very start and <br />everybody would work together. He is the one they need to go <br />through. <br />Council Member Neal asked Mr. Peechia how he intended to gain <br />knowledge of the community. <br />Mr. Peechia said he is relatively familiar but, needs to become <br />involved in the civic community. <br />Mr. Schumacher said that communication is important. He asked Mr. <br />Peechia how he would handle that. <br />Mr. Peechia said through bi-weekly reports sent to the City <br />Council, they would always be informed. Something "hot" would go <br />to Mr. Schumacher right away, so there would be no surprised. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Peechia about his philosophy of <br />traffic citations and speeding tickets is that for health/safety <br />sake or do you see tickets as a money maker. <br />Mr. Peechia said concerning problems, accidents, complaints and <br />assistance on the freeway revenue is generated by meeting citizens <br />needs. There are other ways of dealing with problems, like <br />education. <br />The secretary left to get lunch at 11:45, interim minutes were <br />taken by Mr. Schumacher. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Peechia if he had hobbies, what <br />else did he like to do. <br />8 rJ <br />
