City Council Minutes <br />July 21, 2025 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br />Police Chief Kuhnly presented the staff report and outlined the challenges facing officer health. A <br />combination of shift work and emergency response may contribute to health issues at an earlier age <br />than the national average. The testing would be paid for by the public safety aid grant and would be <br />voluntary. <br />The Council discussed the possibility of budgeting for long-term testing every few years. Police Chief <br />Kuhnly wanted to remain open to other wellness services instead of investing so much of the funds into <br />this test. <br />The Council will continue to receive information from the Police Chief on future uses of the public <br />safety grant. The Council reached consensus on spending the funds on Sigma Tactical Wellness Heart <br />Testing. <br />9.
