We hope to be fully operational by June 10th. Department staff has completed the Spillman training for the Records Management System. All June 2013 incident reports will be entered into the new records system. Chief McElroy is recommending an ordinance change reference requiring background checks for city employees during the hiring process. This is a new requirement from the TIME system. City Administrator Dan Wietecha is working on this issue. From the TIME system newsletter reference CHRI and Purpose Code E: The TIME system can be used for non-law enforcement background checks provided there is a law (federal, state or local ordinance) requiring the background check. 9.
