Regular Council Meeting May 13, 2024 Page 6 A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Norment and seconded by Council Member Kessel. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 22. Discuss hiring and retaining of Paris Police Officers and provide direction to Staff. Mayor Pankaj said Council Member Norment placed this item on the agenda. She said she realized there was great effort to hire and retain police officers. She also said she asked for this to be placed on the agenda to show support for Mr. Path in raising the salaries of the policemen and try to get it in this years' budget. Council Member Norment said this had been an ongoing issue and good strides had been made toward this issue but with the climate, she thought it was important to have good quality police officers on the City's force. She said the City did not have enough officers to respond to some of the minor issues, and had heard this several times from her constituents. Council Member Norment said she wanted to show the City Manager support and she thought the entire Council supported the police and City Staff. She said if ok, she wanted to inquire of Chief Salter how many officers had been hired and lost in the last several years. Chief Salter reported that since January 2022 through that day, the department had gained thirteen officers and lost seventeen officers. He also said two more officers were hired and would be going to the academy. Chief Salter said the department was still down three officers and if they could get the pay rate up, the department's attrition rate would go down. Mr. Path said he really appreciated Council Member Norment bringing this forward and they had some conversations about this. He referenced a memo he sent to Council late last week and stated that he had been working on salaries over the last four years. He also said he would have done more if he could have. Mr. Path said he and Chief Salter had some ideas how to get ahead of the City's competition, and he was excited to bring those to Council in a couple of months. He also said Staff was working on the budget in May, that he would dig into it in June and have it balanced by July. Mr. Path explained that he planned to have the budget back to Council in late July or early August to help them to take that next step in trying to combat this issue. Mr. Path expressed appreciation to Council for their show of support and stated that every year salaries of employees had been costly. Mr. Path said that over the last several years, several million dollars across the board had been added for employees but they were not done yet. He emphasized that the only thing holding it back was the budget constraints but he was trying to stretch as for as he could. Mayor Pankaj said he was excited that Mr. Path was looking into this and he knew it was something that Council wanted to do for first responders, who put their lives on the line each and every day. He said if there was a way they could figure out how to compensate the police officers that would help with this issue, and that he believed the Council all agreed on that. He expressed appreciation to Council Member Norment for bringing this forward. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said it was his understanding that the Council wanted this to be impactful because the City was competing with the school districts and Lamar County. He also said the pay was comparable but if he were a police officer he would go to Lamar County or the school districts, because the threat for your life goes down and money was about the same. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said he thought what the Council was saying was they want this to be a Regular Council Meeting May 13, 2024 Page 7 priority because it was a life safety issue. He also said he called the police non -emergency line for a small incident and was told they did not have anyone to send because everybody was busy. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said this was a serious problem, and it was not Chief Salter's fault nor the fault of the patrolmen. He said they had to figure out a way to incentivize people to apply to the Paris P.D., and the only thing they could come up with was more money. He said he thought the reason this was presented today was so they could get ahead of the budget, make this a priority to increase the salaries of the officers, and make it so impactful that the people will want to be a police officer for the City of Paris. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said this was directed toward answering the calls of their citizens. He also said he thought this was the spirit of what they were talking about. Council Member Norment agreed. Mayor Pankaj asked if there was any other direction they wanted to provide to Staff to move forward. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage inquired if they should form a committee comprised of two or three Council Members to work with Staff so that the priority was felt as the City Manager was figuring out the budget for next year. He said they need to do their best to get this right. He said they needed to stress the importance and priority Council was putting on this issue. Mr. Path said he appreciated the importance of this, he felt how critical this was and it was his priority to work on this. He also said if some of the Council Members wanted to work with him on this, that would be definitely appreciated but to please understand it was his priority and he would not disappoint. Mayor Pankaj asked that Mr. Path continue with communication about this to Council as they were getting closer to the budget. 23. Discuss options for the Belford Building vacant site as to retaining the property, selling the property or development of the property; and provide direction to Staff. Mayor Pankaj said Council Member Norment placed this item on the agenda. Council Member Norment said they were lacking parking spaces downtown, and that she would like to see the City keep this space and use it for parking. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage agreed and inquired if they could use ARPA funds to pave it. Mr. Path said they could do so. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage confirmed with Mr. Path that those funds were not coming from city tax money. Mayor Pankaj also favored this. Mr. Path said if the Council supports this, he would work it into the budget. 24. Discuss and act on a Key to the City Policy, and select a third Council Member to join the Mayor and Mayor Pro -Tem as a selection and award committee. Mayor Pankaj suggested with a new Council Member that they may want to table this item to give additional time for review and discussion. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said he was good with tabling this item. He referenced that Mayor Portugal had previously given a key to the City to the President of France, and that he did not think that matched up with giving the key to a citizen for good works in the City, as previously discussed. Council Member Kessel said he was good with the edits and did not think they should table it. Council Member Putnam agreed with Mayor Pro -Tem Savage and said they should be able to give the key to a new business considering moving to Paris or to the Governor, and that it should not be an annual event. Regular Council Meeting May 13, 2024 Page 8 Before further discussion, Mayor Pankaj asked for a Motion to remove this item from the table. A Motion to remove the item from the table was made by Mayor Pro -Tem Savage and seconded by Council Member Moore. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. Mayor Pankaj said if Council wished to move forward with a policy, he would like to get a nomination for a Council Member to serve with he and the Mayor Pro -Tem. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage nominated Council Member Norment to serve on the Committee. A Motion to approve the policy with the Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and Council Member Norment serving on the Committee was made by Council Member Kessel and seconded by Council Member Putnam. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 25. Discuss and consider a draft amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance Section 9 B-10- 111, "Use of Parking Areas," and request the Planning and Zoning Commission review and consider making a recommendation to the City Council." Mr. Path said off-street parking was regulated under the City's Zoning Ordinance, Section 9B-10-11. He said as currently written, the Ordinance allowed parking of vehicles other than semi -trucks be allowed in the side and/or rear yards of the residential property. Mr. Path explained the intent of this Code was to maintain a neat and orderly look to the surrounding neighborhood. He also said an issue not addressed was off-street parking in a vacant residential lot and/or an improved and unsurfaced vacant non-residential lot. Mr. Path reported that the Police Department and Code Enforcement Departments continue to receive complaints about vehicles across town parked in such vacant lots. Council Member Norment, Mayor Pro -Tem Savage and Mayor Pankaj said they supported this amendment. Mr. Path said he would send it to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and referral back to City Council. 26. Consider and approve future events for City Council and/or City Staff pursuant to Resolution No. 2004-081. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage requested that the City Attorney give a short presentation for the benefit of citizens and City Council as to what the Council does, is allowed to do, and expected to do according to the Charter because they just took an Oath to operate in accordance with the Charter. He also requested that the presentation specifically point out that this governing body, which was made up of the whole Council, direct the city Manager and the City Manager directs the Staff, and things of that nature. Mayor Pro -Tem Savage said they had a new Council Member and that when Council Members Norment and Kessel came on, that they did not get any kind of training. He said that Council gets a lot of calls from citizens. He also said this would give citizens the opportunity to understand what the Council legally could and could not do.
