PUBLIC COMMENTS
Martin Culpepper, 1731 Cottage Grove, Maywood, questioned if every city department has a formal
complaint form. If they do not have a formal complaint form they should have one.
Jessica Rucker, Main Street Waterloo, thanked everyone for volunteering for My Waterloo Days.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, questioned how the decision was made to change the design
of the police vehicles.
Chief Fitzgerald explained that he made the decision based on feedback from command staff and
rank and file and that the rebranding committee was voting on the patch, not the vehicles.
Mr. Morrissey commented that there was some discussion of downtown policing while he was on
vacation. He had some ideas, which include downtown beat cops and more interaction of officers
with the community by alternative modes of transportation, such as by horse, Segway, and bicycle.
Chief Fitzgerald commented that beat related policing has been implemented. He explained changes
made specifically to downtown policing.
Mrs. Klein commented that a lot of people have contacted her about where the new emblem on the
cars came from because many people thought it would have the new patch design. She questioned
why the city would not be more involved in what is on its police cars.
Chief Fitzgerald explained that it is his experience that city's do not get that involved in what is
placed on the police cars.
Mr. Morrissey commented that he really likes the design on the new police vehicles.
Mayor Hart questioned if the new patch will appear on the new uniforms.
Chief Fitzgerald confirmed.
Mr. Grieder commented that some people have gotten into the holiday spirit early and wanted to
remind people that it is not yet ok to set off fireworks.
Mrs. Juon commented that it was nice to see in the Courier a positive editorial article about the
changes happening in the community.
