SEPTEMBER 17, 2025 61 <br />D. FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />1. FILE MONTHLY STATISTICAL ANALYSIS REPORT FOR AUGUST 2025 <br />Assistant Chief Derek Erquhart submitted the monthly statistical analysis report <br />for August 2025. He noted that the inspection division had 381 inspections and <br />553 re-inspections. He stated that property damage costs decreased by half <br />compared to last August. <br /> <br /> <br />E. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR <br />Attorney Weiss reminded the public to use the hand-raising function of Microsoft <br />Teams to indicate their desire to speak during Privilege of the Floor. She reminded <br />attendees that they would be allotted three (3) minutes to speak. <br />Board Attorney Weiss noted that Board member Darryl Heller had submitted a <br />letter of resignation for his board member position. The Board thanked him for his <br />service to the Board of Public Safety and wished him well. <br />Board Attorney Weiss also noted that BPS meetings would be moved to the new <br />City Hall on MLK Jr. Dr. in November. <br /> <br />Sierra Swanson (resident) brought to the attention of the board recent interactions <br />that she had with a couple SBPD officers during a call for service. She stated she felt <br />the officers responding to her calls did not take her concerns seriously or follow <br />protocol and had reached out to IA, but had not heard back yet. President Jones <br />referred Ms. Swanson to the Citizen Police Review Board or the Police Merrit Board <br />who had jurisdiction over such issues now. Chief Ruszkowski also noted Chief <br />Skibins, who supervises the IA process, was in attendance and could speak to her <br />after the meeting about her concerns. <br /> <br />F. ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, upon a motion by Lee <br />Ross, seconded by Al Kirsits, and carried by roll call, the meeting was adjourned at <br />9:35 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
