Introductions
of Potential new WSCPA Board Members:
Daryl advised the board that Steve Rittereiser – WASPC Representative,
Sharon Tolton – Member at Large, Michael Dick – Region 3, and Sandy
Richards – Region 7 have all resigned from the Board. The Board
discussed the resignations and Doug Reynolds wanted us to see if there
were any common reasons why these people
resigned. Sharon Tolton resigned because of a possible conflict of
interest, Chief Steve Rittereiser resigned
because of over commitment, Michael Dick resigned because of family needs,
and Sandy Richards wasn’t receiving the support needed from her department to travel and attend
meetings.
Marion Swendsen made a motion to accept the above resignations with a
second by Kay McKellar and the motion passed.
The Board then discussed the following candidates. Stella Kent, Gerald Abernathy and Chief Denis Austin
were introduced to the WSCPA Board of Directors.
Stella Kent is currently the crime prevention officer
for Gonzaga
University and was recommended for the Region 7 job by Sandy
Richards.
Gerald Abernathyis the volunteer co-ordinator for the Lacey Police Department
and recommended by Alexandra Kasuske.
Chief Denis Austin is Chief of the Pasco Police Department and
Co-Chair of the Washington Association of Sheriff’s and Police Chiefs Crime Prevention and Community
Oriented Policing Committee.
A motion was then made by Alexandra to accept Chief Denis Austin,
Stella Kent, and Gerald Abernathy
as new board members. The motion was seconded by Cal Baker and passed.
The board then talked about the vacant position held by Sharon Tolton of
the WSCJTC. During the discussion John Turner brought up the idea of keeping someone from the WSCJTC
on the board and several names
were suggested.
John Turner made a motion to have Daryl contact Michael Parson of the
WSCJTC to see if we can replace Sharon Tolton with someone else from the Training Commission. Kay seconded
the motion and the motion
passed.
