Spitzer asked if it was Barth's intention to keep the staff at a level of 12 men. Barth responded that the number he would probably let it drop down to 6 men. Spitzer asked what authority the reserve officers would have. Barth stated they would have full powers of arrest while on duty. The officers would go through a firearms training program. Charles Johnson stated that because of the increase in numbers the possibility of potential liability would increase. He also said that the type of training will de- termine what risks there would be to the city. Vail spoke to the Cottage Grove Police Chief, and he recommended they should be on duty at least 20 hours per month, and it be mandatory they take state testing.
