Dellinger told council the department began 2024 with 28 sworn officers of 33 budgeted positions but ended the year with 24 sworn officers as the department experienced several retirements and some recruits who did not complete field training. He said the department has pursued recruitment tools including a cadet program that grew from five cadets in its first cohort to 12 in the most recent cohort and which Dellinger called “one of our best recruiting tools.”

On crime statistics, Dellinger reported a small decrease in crimes against persons (about 2%), a larger decline in property crimes (about 22%), and an almost 12.5% drop in crimes against society (largely drug offenses) as reported to the Idaho State Police NIBRS system. He said the department handled about 10,400 calls for service in 2024 and that officers conducted more than 4,700 traffic stops.

Dellinger highlighted several personnel recognitions: Corporal Jacob Tesdall received a life‑saving award after administering naloxone to an overdose victim; Detective Fox deployed a new drone capability that located a missing autistic child about a mile from home; and Officer Rasinski and a Latac County deputy performed CPR that helped keep a motorist alive until additional resources arrived. Dellinger also recognized Officer Rosendahl as officer of the year and singled out Detective Mauer for statewide recognition in internet crimes against children (ICAC) investigations and forensics work.

The chief warned about fentanyl dangers in the community, noting that small quantities are lethal: based on DEA lethality figures and local seizures, he said the department’s fentanyl seizures since 2022 could amount to material theoretically capable of causing mass fatalities if dispersed — a reminder he used to stress the risk posed by counterfeit pills and varying potency. He also praised the K9 Ragnar program and credited visible enforcement and the K9 unit with deterring local drug activity.

Dellinger said the department continues to expand training capacity after the new training room opened, which has allowed more in‑house training and better use of training funds. He noted investigative successes: a child exploitation case that led to federal indictment, cross‑border work that helped recover a juvenile taken to Mexico, and a complex financial fraud investigation that resulted in indictments of six suspects.

Council members asked questions about outreach to international students, naloxone (Narcan) availability, disability and de‑escalation training, parking fee revenue, and partnerships with drug‑court and mental‑health court programs. Dellinger said patrol vehicles carry naloxone and officers are trained to use it on both officers and civilians; he described ongoing partnership and training efforts with Department of Health and Welfare for crisis intervention and autism‑specific instruction, and said the department participates on local treatment teams for mental‑health and drug courts.

The chief closed by thanking the council and the community for continued support and said department staffing and recruitment were showing improvement in recent hiring cycles.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council - April 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Chief Anthony Dellinger presented the Moscow Police Department’s 2024 annual report, highlighting staffing churn and recruitment gains, declines in several crime categories, expanded training capacity, community outreach events and work by detectives and forensics staff.","taxTitle","Moscow City, Latah County, Idaho","taxId",52039,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580614,"Council grants waiver for Fortuna Avenue frontage improvements; city retains right‑of‑way",898,2096000,2994000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3074774-5b422e9f11186bb2f9e50f323ba81820&start=2096&end=2994","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3074774-5b422e9f11186bb2f9e50f323ba81820/thumbnail_2096000.jpg","/articles/6580614/Moscow-City/Latah-County/Idaho/Council-grants-waiver-for-Fortuna-Avenue-frontage-improvements-city-retains-rightofway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580614-649e2ea84434e446bfad13958af45f2c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185055&Signature=Yhk0TiAhqBDiSXRF5nvQL6iKFpWGf2c6HLKcez9Y4P69etCQ~TNpYYQRE42wAr-OCbgP4HEd~0Z7746mAf2OgbRTiB~vyQNI6GTwAmu57F8yoI26r0Vo4EguI87FvUQUn2dDVHrmkoMPfWrkeVj7TtM9JvhNwYqS47~0Q7911Lc9jg54~4vubBRS5PZrQf7WiHjCrEMchi0vDFR92ck7cNea9zjlz~aemMpWgumLxLtNzkxuC9f4V8HIY-ol9bhcaIJ9rFL9gGrciwJMhIF9s0ny2Cv7CWDEeze22gBKbxQJnhoOkJu0YxhbA7Rjdt-xfrYzBkmPkGpz-Cf~goFuUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moscow City — Moscow City Council on April 21 approved a waiver request that releases a property owner from the city’s usual requirement to construct frontage improvements along an unimproved section of Fortuna Avenue near Mountain View Road.

Bob Veil, a city staff member who presented the application, said the unimproved Fortuna segment sits on a steep slope with a roughly 14‑foot elevation difference at the most extreme point and that building a collector‑standard street within the existing 60‑foot right‑of‑way would likely require retaining walls or additional slope easements. Staff updated a 2011 cost estimate and said construction of the full Fortuna segment from Ponderosa to Mountain View would cost roughly $1.5 million; the applicant’s share, based on frontage width and the typical 50% cost‑share formula applied to a single lot, would be roughly $255,000. The applicant’s submission estimated about $107,000 but staff said that figure did not account for retaining walls and certain utility relocations.

Veil reminded council that a waiver does not vacate the right‑of‑way. If the city obtains funding in the future it could still build the roadway as a fully city‑funded project. He also noted that public utilities — including a water main and several sewer services — already exist in the corridor. Public Works Finance had reviewed the request April 14 and forwarded it to council with no recommendation.

Council members asked clarifying questions about long‑term implications. One councilor asked whether standard setbacks would still apply; staff said setbacks and parcel grading would still be governed by the city’s development standards and that a future road could result in a retaining wall adjacent to the house but would not automatically require the applicant to redesign the home now. Councilors also asked about the thoroughfare plan: staff said the thoroughfare map is part of the comprehensive plan and generally is reviewed on a five‑ to ten‑year cycle, with the last update in 2019.

Council discussion noted the city does not currently have the roughly $1.2 million needed to build the remainder of the road if the applicant did not pay their frontage share; Veil said the necessary city funding was not included in the current five‑year capital plan. Several members said the waiver helps enable infill on a difficult lot without imposing a disproportionate financial burden on a single property owner.

A motion to approve the waiver was moved and seconded and passed on a roll call vote with councilors recorded as voting aye: Hailey; Drew; Gina; Sandra; Bryce; Julia. The waiver relieves the property owner from the frontage construction requirement necessary to obtain building permits for a principal structure, but preserves the city’s right to construct the roadway later with city funds.","The Moscow City Council approved a developer request to waive required frontage improvements along an unimproved section of Fortuna Avenue, releasing the property owner from the construction obligation but leaving the public right‑of‑way intact and city‑funded buildout possible in the future.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580620,"Council approves three‑year janitorial contracts after competitive bids",654,1411000,2065000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3074774-5b422e9f11186bb2f9e50f323ba81820&start=1411&end=2065","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3074774-5b422e9f11186bb2f9e50f323ba81820/thumbnail_1411000.jpg","/articles/6580620/Moscow-City/Latah-County/Idaho/Council-approves-threeyear-janitorial-contracts-after-competitive-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580620-f5bd6e63b49c7cfb74e131fcb4d0ee0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185055&Signature=nH2R1SCg~-pE2AxiYW29eFXAI1T~2JDF7JflumziIcs~dqYgAdunL3dF30y7-QCx4vM4SGvwMksVy0vEF6vbT48fy1klYrGdDQAJUyWbOhjEO9kKq1Wt5v1rrwtoDoGiwE1HS6kL43~qhmX3xKH98NtqBobW2eJqwK0PejtKB~tmJTg14kSsDNu9s2mthvg03~SYQ2PROfo8jIt4xeLO634cFgLWZAHdSGl5yBYZUOuD3Kk1hIMCPxXSA6LqEJYyvPzFsr7A4AiFbqtmYS9HyW~6P-0e6o6rCkYfqa7szI4aoYkI9oEQ7GWc2IppluaZnqys1yCYLxr2EIE3qOUDGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Moscow City — Moscow City Council voted April 21 to award three‑year janitorial service contracts for the city’s grouped building modules, approving Creative Cleaning Connections for modules 1, 6 and 7 and ServiceMaster Building Maintenance for modules 2, 3, 4 and 5.

City staff told council the city grouped its buildings into seven modules to encourage small bidders and to allow firms to bid on portions of the work. David Schott, a city staff member presenting the item, said the new agreements would begin Oct. 1, 2025, and run through Sept. 30, 2028, to align with next fiscal planning.

Schott said the current three‑year package costs about $470,000; the combined recommended contracts total about $533,082.49 for the three‑year term, a nominal 13% increase he attributed largely to changes in the package rather than uniform price increases. He told the council that the change in scope includes a remodeled city shop that will add square footage once it opens and a new parks and fleet shop expected online next year, plus parks restroom coverage added to this bid package.

Council members asked whether the city had considered bringing janitorial services in‑house. Schott said the city had evaluated that option in prior years and found it substantially more expensive. Council members also asked about continuity for local small businesses: several members noted that Veeva Cleaning Company, a current provider, did not win as a low bidder for the modules it previously served. Schott said the formal bidding process requires awarding to the low bidder and that all low bidders proposed — Creative Cleaning Connections and ServiceMaster Building Maintenance — had provided satisfactory service in the past.

Councilor Burke moved to approve the low bids and contract awards as recommended; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote with council members recorded as voting aye: Drew; Julia; Gina; Bryce; Hailey; Sandra.

The agreements were described as professional services contracts tied to individual modules; Schott said the city will execute an agreement for each successful bidder and that services will not start until Oct. 1, 2025, to align with the FY26 budget.

The council discussion also addressed event‑day cleaning for high‑volume weekend events. Staff said that for events in the past, event organizers typically assume responsibility for consumables and on‑site needs, although the city can provide on‑site staffing for particularly high‑demand events through the parks department when warranted.

The contracts approved April 21 will be executed as separate three‑year professional services agreements for each module and will replace the city’s existing three‑year term that expires Sept. 30, 2025.","Moscow City Council voted to award janitorial service contracts for seven building modules to two low bidders for a three‑year term beginning Oct. 1, 2025, after staff explained bid grouping, scope differences and a non‑comparable change in building square footage.","actionData","errors"]
