Comments from the Public: Commissioner Teasley noted that Rita Linger from the Community Dispute Resolution Center would not be present. 5. Report of the Chief: Chief McEwen briefed the Community Police Board on his manpower shortage. He recently lost two dispatchers to Fire Control and has five officers out on disability. He noted that there is a big salary disparity between the dispatchers at the Ithaca Police Department and the Fire Control and Sheriff's Department dispatchers. Chief McEwen further noted that he has addressed the Budget and Administration Committee about this dilemma. PBA President Gray noted that when a police officer is called off the street to perform dispatch functions, it causes a safety problem as shifts are being staffed at minimum complement. 6. Comments from PBA President: PBA President Mike Gray discussed a recent complaint where the officer was not interviewed but a conclusion was drawn without the officer's input. Discussion followed. The Community Police Board agreed that drawing conclusions without interviewing the officer involved is not a good idea and will send a letter to the officer in question expressing their regrets.
