The Martin Chronicles continues to sift through the events of last night's Villa Hills City Council meeting. Here are two more items of interest.
How many officers?
Resident Larry Heinzelman made an excellent point about the number of officers the Villa Hills Police Department should have if they want to follow Park Hills' model of a combination of full and part-time officers. Using that police department model, Villa Hills is actually several officers short of being fully staffed.
Councilwoman Mary Koenig has been a full-throated supporter of Villa Hills moving to the Park Hills model. She had absolutely no response to Mr. Heinzelman's astute observations, however. Koenig's silence spoke volumes.
Is there some history?
We aren't sure why Councilwoman Menninger-Isenhour snapped at Councilman Rod Baehner. Here's what happened. Councilman Cahill was giving one of his committee reports. Menninger-Isenhour asked a question. Baehner-who also serves on that committee-began to add some detail to help answer the question.
Suddenly, Menninger-Isenhour fired back at Baehner, "I'm not talking to you!" It was certainly an awkward and odd moment. So much for civility.
