Citizens in attendance:

Bill Hagood, South Outer – Had many questions regarding the theft of money in the police department. (1) Requesting copy of internal investigation. (2) In regards to the statement in the paper stating that the Sheriff’s Department has closed the case because the 2 officers in question have retained legal council and are not being cooperative, why can’t they proceed? Did the trustees ask that the investigation be dropped? (3) Questioned statement in newspaper that Heidi Brown told the officers that if they resigned no charges would be filed. (4) Feels something needs to be done to stop the rumors about this situation.

Brown responded as such: (1) Don’t believe everything you read in the paper. (2) There is a difference between administrative charges and criminal charges. (3) Through a third party, officers were given their options. (4) Trustees have no evidence as to who took the money. There were too many people that had access to the safe. (5) Trustees did not call off the investigation.

Mr. Dreves gave verbal recap of events as follows:
1. Officer Ford told Chief Darbey that money was missing.
2. 5 people had the combination to the safe.
3. Chief Darbey contacted the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BWI) and Chief Faustino from Brookfield regarding situation.
4. Chief Faustino interviewed all who had the combination, but no one came forward.
5. 5 officers were given polygraph tests: Chief Darbey, Officer Brocious, Officer Ford, Officer Macchione and Officer Sheehy.
6. 2 officers did not pass the test.
7. Officer Ford stated that he stole $100.00.
8. Mr. Evans, the polygraph technician, felt there was more, but could not get anything more. In his written report he suggested that further testing be done.
9. Chief Darbey and Chief Faustino kept the entire board of trustees informed throughout the investigation.
10. The township’s attorney then advised that we get the Sheriff’s department involved.
11. Officer Stewart of the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Department interviewed Chief Darbey, came out and looked at the safe and stated that Chief Darbey’s investigation was a good one.
12. At the September 16, 2011 special meeting of the board of trustees, the resignations of the 2 officers that failed the polygraph test were accepted. Due to the ongoing investigation, the board could not speak on the investigation and was unable to answer any questions from the public.
13. Sheriff’s department informed us that the 2 officers had retained legal council.
14. The trustees did not ask for the investigation to be dropped, the Sheriff’s department closed their investigation.
15. Once the Sheriff’s Department closed their investigation, the trustees felt that they had to close their investigation also.
16. Mr. Dreves feels that those that spoke against Chief Darbey at the September 16th meeting owe the Chief an apology.

At this time, several citizens in attendance objected to this statement and voiced their objections. They stated that they did not say anything against Chief Darbey and that Mr. Dreves should not have made such a generalization.

Dolores Barrick, Inner Drive – Spoke in favor of Chief Darbey. Stated that she had heard rumors that Jeff Ford could be rehired. She stated that she did not want him in her house.

Dave Granelly, Ridge Road – Ask if the board of trustees think the Sheriff’s investigation was affected by the fact the 2 officers are employees of the county. The trustees declined to answer and suggested that he ask the Sheriffs Department directly.

Bill Hagood – Heard Jeff Ford returned the $100.00 he admitted taking. Will we have to return this to him? Dreves explained that the polygraph results would be inadmissible in a criminal case and then explained about the Garrity Warning that was given to each of the officers. Doesn’t know what will happen to the money.

William Lynn, Warren-Sharon – Said he never remembers the board of trustees saying that they couldn’t comment due to the ongoing investigation. Inquired as to what safeguards have been taken to prevent this situation in the future.

Chief Darbey stated that all monies received in the future would be given to the fiscal officer for deposit.

Helen Clower, Buena Vista – Is sad that the Vienna Neighborhood Watch is being lost.

Tarin Brown, Ridge – Asked about status of probate case.

DEPARTMENT HEADS MONTHLY REPORTS:

ROAD SUPERINTENDENT, MIKE PENROSE, ABSENT.

ZONING INSPECTOR GARY WIREMAN GAVE HIS MONTHLY REPORT.  SENT OUT 8 WARNING LETTERS.

FIRE CHIEF RICH BRANNON GAVE HIS MONTHLY REPORT.  DENIED FEMA GRANT FOR 2008. RESCUE 46 STILL HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. SQUAD 46 BATTERIES WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THANKS TO AIRPORT AUTO.  ENGINE 461 HAS A WATER LEAK. LADDERS WILL BE TESTED NEXT WEEK. MR. DREVES STATED THAT THE GENERATOR IS OURS AND THE CONTRACTOR IS WILLING TO WORK WITH US ON THE PAYMENT OF IT. WOULD LIKE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS FROM THE MCCAIN RALLY.

POLICE CHIEF DAVID OVESNY GAVE HIS MONTHLY REPORT. DRUM NEEDS REPLACED ON THE COPIER.  HELD ANNUAL WEAPONS TRAINING.  MR. DREVES ASKED WHO DETERMINES THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS FOR SUCH EVENTS AS THE MCCAIN RALLY AT THE AIRPORT.  SINCE VIENNA OFFICERS ARE SIDA TRAINED FOR THE AIRPORT THEY HAVE TO BE ONSITE THERE, SO THE TRAFFIC DETAIL WAS PASSED ALONG TO THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL.  WASN’T AWARE THAT HE WAS TURNING RESIDENTS AWAY.

RESIDENTS IN ATTENDANCE

RITA DUNKIN, DID THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPTS GET THANKED FOR THEIR HELP WITH THE MCCAIN RALLY.  DIDN’T APPRECIATE 193 BEING CLOSED, BUT CUT THROUGH THE CEMETARY TO GET TO HER HOME.  DO OUR DEPTS GET PAID FOR BEING AT THE AIRPORT?  THE POLICE DEPT DOES THRU THEIR CONTRACT UP THERE, BUT NOT THE FIRE DEPT.  CHIEF BRANNON STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED ON THE AIRPORT PROPERTY AND WILL DISCUSS THE PROBLEM FURTHER WITH TRUSTEES.

PHIL OTTE, CAN’T SECRET SERVICE COME IN EARLIER AND WORK THE TRAFFIC PATTERN BETTER.  OVESNY, PROBLEM WAS THERE WAS A SHERIFF’S DEPUTY AT WARREN SHARON AND 82 THAT DIDN’T KNOW THE STREETS IN VIENNA AND WASN’T LETTING ANYONE THRU.  NEXT TIME THEY WILL GET A VIENNA OFFICER TO WORK THAT INTERSECTION.

LEON THOMPSON, HAD KITCHEN REMODELED AND THE CONTRACTOR RIPPED OFF OVER $3000 IN FAMILY JEWELS AND NOONE WAS ARRESTED.  ASKING MR. DREVES IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE FROM AN INSURANCE STANDPOINT.  HE FILED A POLICE REPORT BUT WITHOUT AN ARREST OR CONVICTION NOTHING CAN BE DONE. FUTURE ADVICE WOULD BE TO CHECK WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND HBA FOR ALL CONTRACTORS.

JIM NOVELLO, SEES THAT THE TOWNSHIP IS PART OF THE GREEN PACT, HAVE THE TRUSTEES LOOKED INTO USING BEET JUICE INSTEAD OF ROCK SALT FOR THE ROADS. MR. PEGG, WE USE 49% SAND AND 51% SALT. WE STILL HAVE 70 TONS LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE THERE IS A 3-4 WEEK WAIT TO GET SALT NOW.

RITA DUNKIN, THE GAS AGGREGATE ON THE BALLOT, TOWNSHIP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH BUSINESS FOR THAT.

JACK BROWN, SHOULD WE RENEW OUR CONTRACT WITH THE GAS COMPANY OR WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION. WAIT.  GO TO PICOCC.ORG FOR MORE INFORMATION

WARREN CLOWER, CAN SOMEONE CALL MARK FINAMORE AND ASK HIM TO GET THAT POOL TABLE OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
 
ROSEANN KENNEDY, CHILI COOK-OFF IS NEXT MONDAY OCTOBER 13TH AT 5:30.  FOR ANYONE DONATING PIE PLEASE HAVE IT TO THE FIRE STATION BY 3PM.  JUDGING OF CHILI WILL BE AT 3:30PM.  SIGNS FOR THE POLICE LEVY WILL BE DONE BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND DISTRIBUTED TO RESIDENTS SOMETIME NEXT WEEK.
