The Committee discussed filling the Police Captains position in the event that
Captain Crowe accepts the appointment as Chief.
Chief Mike Bloom feels and to some degree Capt.Crowe agrees , that none of
the Laurel Police officers have the necessary administrative experience or
training to fill the Captains position.They therefore recommend that the position
be advertised and filled by someone from out of town.
The committee feels that the only way for an o4ficer to acquire the experience
and training is to work the job and therefore recommends that nZ supervisory
position be filled , if at all possible from the ranks of the Laurel Police
Department with due consideratio given to the advice and approval of the Chief.
The Committee discussed complaints recieved concerning Lud Erlenbach's demeanor
mainly while working at the city dump.
As there have been no formal complaints , no formal disciplinary is
recommended at this time however the Gommittee does recommend that he not be
allowed to wear the uniform and badge while employed at the dump..
It was also brought out that under chapter 2.32.300 of the Laurel Municipal
Code , city employees are to retire at age 65 and Mr. Erlenbach is now 67.
