LOCK HAVEN -- Lock Haven City Council and the public received an update regarding personnel within city staff this week.
At its meeting Monday night, council heard from City Planner Abbey Roberts -- who filled in for City Manager Gregory Wilson who was absent -- about various personnel changes in its departments.
This included:
POLICE
Roberts said the Lock Haven Police Department recently hired Eric Young as a patrol officer. Young will complete his Act 120 Academy within the next few weeks, Roberts said. He's expected to join the force in June.
The department also hired Landon Lose as a patrol officer. Lose will begin the Act 120 Academy, with support from a previously awarded Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency by Gov. Josh Shapiro's office, and will begin his time on the force in or around November, Robert said.
Roberts also announced the resignation of Officer First Class C. Griffin-Dunlap, who will conclude her time on the force on May 26. Dunlap, she said, has been with the city for just over five years.
"With the vacancy caused by PFC Dunlap's resignation, the Chief (Matthew Rickard) and Lieutenant (Elisabeth Gregory) will prepare to advertise for another candidate," she said.
Roberts noted she was able to secure an extension on the PCCD grant to provide for the cost of Act 120 Academy training.
CODE ENFORCEMENT
In the Code Enforcement office, Roberts said Code Clerk Donna Jedrzejek will retire on May 20 after 36 years, 7 months and 29 days of service to the city.
"In all, Donna has worked 9,158 workdays, or 73,264 hours, for the residents, property owners and tenants of the city," Roberts said.
Cyndi Walker, building code official, said in her years with the city Jedrzejek has been an integral part of the Code Enforcement Office.
With Jedrzejek's departure, the city has hired Brian Taylor as property maintenance officer beginning June 30.
"Brian already held certification as an ICC Property Maintenance Inspector and was also formerly credentialed as a Residential Building Inspector and BCO," Roberts said. "Brian is also a graduate of Leadership Clinton County."
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
It was also announced that Director of Community Life Kasey Dumm received her credentials from the National Recreation & Park Association as a Playground Safety Inspector.
"Having park and recreation equipment and sites inspected to certify their continued safety will help the city better maintain its equipment, but also secure more favorable insurance ratings through PennPRIME," Roberts told council.
