90 <br />Police interviews - David J. Peechia <br />Page .11 <br />Mr. Peechia said he has a 12 and 13 year old and has coached soccer <br />and softball to stay close to the children. He like to fish - his <br />parents live in Moose Lake and winter in Arizona so he like to go <br />both places. His wife is a travel agent and likes to travel with <br />her sometimes. His family spends a lot of time in the <br />neighborhood. He likes to putter with little projects and try <br />different things. <br />Council Member Kuether asked what procedures Mr. Peechia would <br />follow if an officer complained to a Council member. <br />Mr. Peechia said another officer would investigate the incident, <br />contact the citizen and give the results to him. He then would <br />give recommendations to Mr. Schumacher, City Council and the <br />community. <br />Council Member Kuether asked "what if" a prominent citizen was <br />stopped for driving under the influence. <br />Mr. Peechia said the citizen has made a mistake, he would be fair <br />and consistent and follow through with the law. A good way to give <br />the officer a way out is for the officer to call the supervisor and <br />then proceed following the law. Everyone would be treated equally. <br />Council Member Kuether asked "what if" there was a domestic in the <br />home of a Council Member. <br />Mr. Peechia said this is a tough situation, there is a minimum of <br />two officers at a domestic and the state law does exist. <br />Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Peechia his current pay. <br />Mr. Peechia said $53,900 last year with overtime. <br />Larry Thompson asked Mr. Peechia if there was a brief summary he <br />would like to leave with the City Council. <br />Mr. Peechia said this job would be a challenge to grow with the <br />community. His experience is varied and wide and would spend the <br />time working with the community. He would learn to face challenges <br />and the officers would provide a great foundation. <br />Larry Thompson said he would be in contact with Mr. Peechia on <br />Tuesday, after the City Council had made a decision at the meeting <br />on Monday night. <br />Mr. Peechia thanked the Council for this opportunity. <br />
