LISBON — The seeming revolving door at the Lisbon Police Department continued at this week’s Village Council meeting.

Police Chief Mike Abraham reported part-time officers Ray Zebosky and Keith Hildebrand Jr. and part-time dispatcher Sierra Cottrill have resigned, with Zebosky and Hildebrand taking other jobs. All three were hired several months ago.

On the recommendation of Abraham, part-time officer Kody Watkins was promoted to full-time, filling the position vacant since Jason Sletvold quit in June to take a position with the Youngstown Police Department.

Sletvold had worked the unusual schedule of eight hours on Fridays and 16 hours on Saturdays and Sundays, which is when Abraham said he needed some consistency instead of continuing to rely on part-time officers to fill those slots. Abraham said Watkins will not work Sletvold’s schedule, although he may work 16 hours on Saturdays or Sundays as needed.

Sletvold was the second full-time officer to leave this year, with Brett Grabman resigning to join the county sheriff’s office. He was replaced by part-time officer Jonathan Kerchofer.

Abraham said the officers are leaving for better paying jobs or full-time employment, but he believes council’s decision to quit providing health insurance coverage for employee spouses and their children is contributing to the problem.

Council then agreed to hire Logan Frass as a part-time dispatcher, replacing Cottrill.

In other business, council agreed to hire Gary Dailey Excavating to repair a drainage problem on the lower portion of state Route 517 at a cost of $7,850, with the money to come from the village’s capital improvements budget.

Streets Supervisor Jim Oliver reported at the previous meeting he would like to repair a runoff problem that occurs during heavy rains, with stormwater and debris from Churchill Road washing onto Route 517 and into yards. To correct the problem, he proposed installing a catch basin just down from Churchill Road and connecting it to the storm line 400 feet away on state Route 164.

Oliver reported he was unable to repair a drainage problem on Pritchard Avenue next to McKinley Elementary School before classes began on Aug. 21. The problem results in water pooling in the roadway and sometimes turning to ice during the winter. Oliver said there was more to the project than originally anticipated, and he said it will be tackled in 2018. Council did not want the street torn up during the school year.

Oliver was also authorized to purchase a new snow plow for $5,930 from Concord Road Equipment in Painesville, which he said provided the lowest of the several quotes he solicited. The street department has three trucks it uses to plow snow.

Council’s parks committee scheduled a meeting for 5 p.m. Monday, which was requested by Parks Supervisor Dana Blackburn.

Blackburn reported on the status of the splash pad, which opened on Aug. 10. She said the final cost was $53,000, with $51,000 of that covered by donations.

She announced the pool season will end Sept. 4, when they hold the annual “Droolin’ at the Pool” event, where dogs can join their owners for the day. The pool is drained for the year after the event, which is being sponsored by Blackwood Pet Food.

Council President Roger Gallo was absent from the meeting.
