Police chief reports calls, vehicle status and e‑dirt‑bike ordinance research

Chief Romberg provided a comprehensive calls-for-service update covering January through August 2025, updated the council on the new police vehicle status, and confirmed Officer Cooper has completed a physical and is prepared to attend the police academy. Romberg also said he has begun researching how e‑dirt bikes are classified and indicated the council may need to consider an ordinance restricting e‑bike use on sidewalks.

Council members took no formal action but were briefed on staffing readiness and potential regulatory options for personal electric vehicles on town sidewalks. No ordinance text or schedule was presented at the meeting.
