Police Chief Zach Sams had a police activity report from January through June 18, 2018. He said they are working at getting all the info on one report instead of divided up on many different pages. After reviewing the report, Dietrich stated that 19 citations in 6 months didn’t seem very high as there were times in 2017 when there were 18 citations in one month. Much discussion ensued.
