During the month of December, graffiti vandals hit Saratoga Park four times.
The first occurrence was between Dec. 11 and 13 -- the snack bar was tagged, including the roll-up steel shutters, doors, walls on both floors, and the stairs.
Building Maintenance Technician John Conley spent Dec. 14 priming and painting over the graffiti.
The next day he returned to finish the eradication only to discover the park had been hit again during the night. This time they covered the storage building, the south wall, and one of the new scoreboards with graffiti.
The following weekend, the snack bar, and adjacent areas were severely tagged. And on the Christmas holiday weekend, the dugouts and sidewalks were tagged. Public Works staff cleaned up the mess on Dec. 28.
The Police Department was contacted, and crime reports were taken on all instances.
Fire Chief Troy Ament introduced the Fire Department's newly promoted employees at the Jan. 4 City Council meeting.
Following promotional recruitments and testing, David Pohl and Thomas Dowser were promoted to Fire Captain on Dec. 21, and Steve Ward was promoted to Fire Engineer on Dec. 7.
Lt. Steve Lux became Deputy Police Chief at a recent swearing-in ceremony performed by City Clerk Donna Jackson.
The ceremony on Jan. 4 was attended by Lux family members including his wife and children, mom and dad, siblings, members of the Police Department, including off-duty officers, and city staff members.
A highlight of the ceremony was when Lux's wife Mona and his sister Nancy pinned his new Deputy Police Chief badge on him.
Lux began his career with law enforcement in January 1983 as a police officer for the city. He promoted to sergeant in June 1997 and to lieutenant in January 2007.
