Roseville to set up temporary library during bond renovations
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
ROSEVILLE — The Roseville Public Library building will be closed to the public from March 31 through April 5.
That’s because staff will be setting up a temporary library in the Erin Meeting Room. According to a press release, the temporary library will be used over the next several months as the main library undergoes renovations as part of the city’s $20 million bond that passed in November 2023.
Although the library will be closed March 31 through April 5, there will be limited hours from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in which patrons will be able to call the library with

Eastpointe fire chief settles into new role
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — When he was 7 years old, Jason Clark already knew his career path: to become a firefighter.
“I grew up in Southfield and we used to have block parties,” Clark said. “The firefighters would always come to the block parties. I think that probably had some inspiration.”
He also spent a lot of time visiting a Pontiac fire station with family friend Harvey Holland, a battalion chief who “was definitely an influence as well.”
Clark, 40, is living out his childhood ambition. For almost 20 years, he has been a firefighter/paramedic for the Eastpointe Fire and Rescue Department, helping
residents with medical emergencies, responding to car crashes and fighting fires with the other crew members.
After moving up the ranks to become a sergeant, lieutenant and battalion chief, Clark was recently promoted to Eastpointe fire chief. City Manager Mariah Walton, who appointed Clark to the position, swore him in March 5. Walton worked her last day with the city March 6, before leaving to take a job with the city of Ann Arbor.
DOG RESCUED AFTER BEING
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
ROSEVILLE — There’s still blood that won’t come out of Brandon Moreno’s seat, but he’s not too concerned about it. He doesn’t see himself as a “saint”; he just did what anyone would do if they saw a dog being thrown from a vehicle.
“I just saw an opportunity at the right time,” Moreno said. “I go out of my way to help anybody. I don’t care how small or how big or what you are. I help every little life out there.”
Moreno finished a shift at his manufacturing shop job at 5 p.m. Feb. 28 and was headed to his home in Warren. He was exiting Interstate 94 to get onto Interstate 696
when he saw a light-colored SUV or van with someone throwing out what, at first glance, looked like trash. He saw an unidentified motorist on the side of the road picking it up. When he got a better look, he immediately pulled over to help.
“She was not looking good,” Moreno said.
Moreno thought the dog might be put
down, given how severe her injuries were. Despite this, she was well behaved.
“This is what really got me: This dog is friendly, she’s nice and she’s calm,” he said. “She didn’t want to attack me, she didn’t want to bite me, she didn’t want to do anything. All she really wanted me to do was cuddle with her, hold her, because she was in

Eastpointe approves marijuana ordinance, sets deadline for businesses to open
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — It took several months of discussion for Eastpointe to approve its recreational marijuana ordinance, but it’s not the same ordinance that was originally proposed.
In 2021, the City Council passed an ordinance allowing medical marijuana facilities to open in Eastpointe. In 2022, a committee was formed to review and approve three licenses, which went to Holistic Health Wayne, 21145 Gratiot Ave.; Moses Roses, 17375 E. Eight Mile Road; and Common Citizen, 24545 Gratiot Ave.
Even though they were granted medical licenses, none of the businesses opened. Under the ordinance that was passed March 4, the three businesses’ licenses were converted from a medical license to a recreational license.
The three businesses who were ap-
proved for licenses were given a deadline of Dec. 31 to be open and operational. Additionally, a fourth license will be granted to another business.
During the first public comment portion of the meeting, Mark Schmier, a representative from Holistic Health, asked the City Council to consider extending the deadline.
Factors such as weather, acquisition and storage of materials, and possible tariffs might affect the business’ ability to open by the deadline, he said.
“Nothing would please us more than to accommodate the proposed target completion date of Dec. 1,” he said. “I can’t speak for others or what the scope of their work is, but I know ours is pretty extraordinary. Our word means everything, and we would not want to make a commitment that we’d be unable to keep.”
His contractor, Jason Abraham, agreed

Walton leaves Eastpointe, city continues search for new manager
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — At the Eastpointe City Council’s March 4 meeting, City Manager Mariah Walton delivered an emotional report to council — her final one.
“I said I was going to hold it together,” she said, laughing. “I felt that way, I was strong coming in … and it’s hard.”
Earlier this year, Walton turned in her resignation to the city after taking a position as Ann Arbor’s deputy city administrator. Her last day in Eastpointe was March 6.
“It’s a small community with a lot going on, and our staff here work incredibly hard,” she said before recognizing multiple departments within the city and recounting her first days with the city.
At the end of the meeting, City Council members took the opportunity to give their farewells.
Councilman Harvey Curley, after addressing some of the issues that were brought up during the meeting, addressed Walton.

Ceremony recognizes Eastpointe Fire Department promotions
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — With the recent appointment of Jason Clark to fire chief, the Eastpointe Fire and Rescue Department promoted several other officers.
Firefighters, their families and city officials gathered at the fire station March 5 for a promotions ceremony in which Clark was sworn in to his new positions along with new Battalion Chief Jason Frattini, new Lt. Mike Szczesniak and new Sgt. Brian Damm. Also recognized was firefighter/paramedic Matt Sucharski, who just came off his 18-month probationary tenure.
“I had the privilege of working with him the last year and a half. He’s been a great asset to our department,” Clark said. “It’s a big accomplishment. It’s not an easy task to take on, and he did it graciously, and he did it very well.”
Sucharski is ready for the next step.
“I work with a great group of guys. I had a lot of good mentors,” Sucharski said. “I really look forward to a successful career with them.”

reference questions and hold requests. Curbside service for material pickups will be available during the same hours, and staff also will provide printing and faxing services.
The temporary library will open April 7 and operate during regular hours throughout the renovation project. Regular hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. The rest of the library building will remain closed during renovations, and most library services will continue as limited space allows.
In 2023, Roseville voters approved a $20 million proposal to renovate and update several city facilities, including the two fire stations, court facilities, Department of Public Services facility and library.
According to Library Director Jacalynn Harvey, the cost of the library renovation is $3.5 million. The library is contributing $1 million from its reserve fund for the renovation, and the remaining $2.5 million is coming from the 2023 bond.
“The library has been setting aside money for a renovation since the .5 (mill) operating increase was passed by the residents of Roseville in 2016,” Harvey said in an email.
The Library Commission and staff are working with interior designer Dwane Adle; the designers, graphic designers and fabricators of Ideation Orange; and Library Design Associates Inc. for the shelving design. The architects are Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick, based in Shelby Township.
The renovations are multifaceted and will include an updated interior, multiple study and meeting rooms, a children’s play and story time area, a makerspace, a teen area, and a cafe with seating and vending machines.
Updates also will include more accessible shelving, new display units, improved lighting, an updated Friends of the Library used materials sale room, and interior and exterior signage. The renovations are expected to take six months to one year to complete.
For further updates, patrons are encouraged to subscribe to the library’s email list and newsletter at rosevillelibrary.org. For more information, call the library at (586) 445-5407 or email rsvlibraryservice@roseville-mi.gov. Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

Klinefelt started his presentation sharing details on the city’s infrastructure projects, including its lead water line replacement, Nine Mile Road reconstruction and water main replacement. The city received $10 million in funding from the state for the lead line replacement program.
“In 2023, we replaced 536 lines. In 2024, we replaced 1,084,” the mayor said. “By the end of 2025, we will have completed replacing all our lead lines in the city of Eastpointe, which is just a remarkable feat. I don’t think any one of us thought we’d be able to get it done that quickly.”
Klinefelt also touched on the Nine Mile reconstruction program.
will be starting from Gratiot to Tuscany (Avenue). As many of you have seen, Nine Mile has been under construction for a while with utility work going (on). Now we’re going to start repaving the road. Next year we will go into phase three. Phase three is still in the planning process. Once that is planned, we will finish from Tuscany all the way to I-94.”
The Kennedy Park splash pad is ready to go for bids soon.
“The goal is that this will be built by the end of this summer. That’s been progressing, and I’m very excited to see that happen,” Klinefelt said. “It’s going to be open for everybody.”
He also said about $705,000 will be put into improvements at Spindler Park, and half of the cost will be covered by a grant. Changes will include updates that conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act and improved lighting. Funding also will be used to add “green water” infrastructure changes to prevent flooding and “the replacement of our pavilion, which is in need,” Klinefelt said.
Klinefelt also said the Eastpointe Memorial Library staff has been working to bring in more patrons. “Moving on to police and fire. We have now gotten our K-9 unit. We received the training and the equipment related to it,” Klinefelt said.
“When I was here last year, we had just finished our first phase, which is the west side of Gratiot (Avenue),” Klinefelt said. “This year, that construction

Retiring Roseville reserve officers recognized by City Council, Police Department
BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
ROSEVILLE — The Roseville City Council recognized retiring Roseville Police Department reserve officers John Palimino, Lonnie Scheuer, Patrick Veo and Gary Lyons at its meeting March 11. Roseville Police
Chief Mitch Berlin presented each member with a baseball cap and a plaque.
“They’re a dedicated group,” Berlin said. “They’re always willing to work, put their own time in, show up with a smile, and have assisted us — some for over 30 years.”
According to the city’s charter, reserve
“You can be replaced, but you are irreplaceable. … Someone comes into your life, maybe not forever, but they do change this up here in your head, they change your mind, change your perception of other people,” he said. “Never once did I hear her talk negatively about anybody, so I’m going to miss you a lot.”
Eastpointe Mayor Michael Klinefelt said it spoke to Walton’s character that in her final report, she addressed the department heads.
“I think the stars aligned. Eastpointe got lucky,” he said. “We got a great city manager. Ann Arbor is going to be very lucky to have you.”
During the public comment portion of the meeting, multiple residents used the public comment section to give her their well wishes.
Joao Muniz came to the meeting to not only talk about the construction on Nine
Mile Road and the marijuana ordinance that was to be voted on that evening, but also to address Walton.
“We are praying for you daily so that everything you do and everywhere you put your feet, there will be success written all over it,” he said.
His son, Isa Muniz, said Walton was the kind of leader others should strive to be.
“You have been a light to this city,” he said. “In every single challenge that has come your way, you have handled it not only with the position that you hold, but also with the voices of the residents.”
Elke Doom, a former Eastpointe city manager who has returned to serve as the interim city manager, said the City Council has not yet made a decision on how to move forward with the manager search. She said options for the search include conducting it in-house through the city’s human resources department or asking the Michigan Municipal League or contracting with a local or national firm to conduct the search.

The orchestra has played a number of local gigs in metro Detroit, and Seraphine reportedly came across the band on YouTube. Since the band plays many Chicago numbers, Seraphine will play drums with them at their March 29 show. The Grammy

pain. She just wanted somebody.”
The unidentified motorist didn’t know what to do, but Moreno knew someone he thought might be able to help the dog. Donna Demartelaere is the mom of one of Moreno’s sister’s friends. Moreno knew the work Demartelaere did with animals.
“I said, ‘Have him bring it over to my house. I’ll take a look, but I can’t promise anything.’ I didn’t even know it was a pit bull,” Demartelaere said.
Demartelaere, who works at Motor City Possum Rescue, has been rehoming animals for over 30 years professionally. She also takes care of cats, birds, squirrels, possums and raccoons. She started rehabilitating animals when she found an injured dog at a creek in Troy when she was 13 years old. Her parents didn’t let her keep the dog, but they let her take care of it.
“I’ve done well over 2,000 animals,” Demartelaere said.
When Moreno brought the dog over, Demartelaere called her boss, Cyndi Russ, from Motor City Possum Rescue. Russ, who also works at West Woodward Animal Hospital in Ferndale, told Demartelaere to bring the dog in. The animal hospital treated the dog’s injuries.
Moreno named the dog Hope. He said he’s considering taking her in, but he has to see if she’ll get along with his cat and dog first. Whoever adopts her, Moreno just wants her to go to a good home.
“This dog should’ve never gone through what she’s gone through,” Moreno said. “She is going to be a loving, caring dog for whoever gets her.”
Demartelaere said Hope had a broken jaw, broken teeth and lacerations on her face. She also has scratches and missing hair from where she hit the pavement. Hope’s teeth had to be removed on one side of her mouth as a result of the broken jaw. She can only eat soft foods currently because of the broken jaw, like scrambled eggs or watered-down wet dog food.
“Her spirits are good,” Demartelaere said. “She sleeps a lot because she’s still on a lot of medication. She’s doing really well; she’s a real sweetheart.”
John Miskena, a veterinarian at West Woodward Animal Hospital, said a fracture on a toe on Hope’s right hind leg was found later.
“We’re treating it. It’s splinted now,” he said.
Miskena said he occasionally sees the kind of abuse that Hope endured at the hospital, though he’s not a stranger to it, having worked with rescue groups like Rebel Dogs Detroit. Miskena said leaving dogs on the side of the road isn’t uncommon, but throwing them out of a moving vehicle is.
“Hope’s case was unusual,” he said. “The violence of it seemed unreasonable. There’s no reason someone should have done that.”
Miskena said, from what he’s seen over the years, animal abuse has decreased. He’s been a veterinarian for five years, but he has been involved in the family business since he
with Schmier, also citing frost laws and weather variables that could delay construction.
“When Mark called me to ask if I could get this done by Dec. 1, I had to be completely honest with him. I would love to get it done by then,” Abraham said. “In fact, I will make more money if we do finish earlier. However, though, I don’t see it feasible.”
Eastpointe Mayor Michael Klinefelt didn’t agree to move the deadline.
“There are other businesses that are very interested, but there are not as many licenses up for grabs, and I know some people from the Planning Commission were disappointed in the level of commitment from the businesses, so I’m not willing to change,” he said.
Besides making it a conversion ordinance for the three businesses, while the ordinance originally allowed for businesses to be open from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. during the week and until 11 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, City Council also voted to extend the operating hours Thursday through Sunday until midnight.

was a kid. West Woodward Animal Hospital was started in 2010 by Miskena’s father. Miskena bought the business from his father in 2020. When Miskena worked at Northwest Animal Hospital, a business his father previously owned, in the 1990s, he said abuse was more widespread.
“Dog abuse and dog negligence was way more rampant,” Miskena said. “I think the younger generation’s education is better.”
Demartelaere said she will eventually find her a home when the dog is “100%.”
She wants whoever threw Hope out the window to be held accountable.
“If you can’t take care of an animal, find somebody who will take care of it,” Demartelaere said.
Miskena said those who can’t take care of a dog have a few options. He recommends looking for a family member or friend who can care for the animal. If one can’t afford the dog, there are outreach groups — like Animal Care Network — that can provide some financial assistance for veterinarian visits. Miskena said having a rescue group adopt one’s dog is another option available.
Additionally, Miskena said to call county animal control if one sees a stray dog. He said social media sites can be a good way to connect people with lost pets, especially the group For the Love of Louie.

Eastpointe
Eastpointe Community Schools
Gibson provided a PowerPoint presentation, stating more than 2,100 students in grades K-12 attend the district. In addition, more than 240 preschool students are enrolled in Eastpointe’s Early Learning Center. The district employs more than 300 full-time staff members, which Gibson said makes the district the city’s largest employer.
According to Gibson’s presentation, over the course of the last two years, Eastpointe Community Schools has invested in a new math and English language arts curriculum for all K-12 students.
“In addition to the new curriculum, we are continuing to provide high-dosage tutoring in math and reading for targeted students and other interventions leading to significant improvements in academic achievement,” Gibson’s presentation stated.
Gibson also said that people would like to see more career and technical education
classes. So, educators are looking at neighboring districts for a possible CTE consortium.
The district is in the process of reconfiguring the four elementary schools. Currently, Bellview and Pleasantview house grades 3-5 while Crescentwood and Forest Park house grades K-2. Next year, all four elementary schools will be K-5, and educators have started the transition for the 20252026 school year.
Facility updates for the 2024-2025 school year included new heating, ventilation and air conditioning units and new casework in classrooms at Crescentwood, Forest Park and Bellview, and a parking lot replacement and drainage work at Forest Park.
Facility updates scheduled for the 2025-2026 school year include new HVAC units and cabinetry this summer and prep work for air conditioning units at Pleasantview. Also planned is a new rooftop air conditioning unit for the Eastpointe High School auditorium, refinishing the gym floors at Crescentwood, Forest Park and Bellview, drainage improvements at all four
elementary schools, and district technology improvements.
According to Gibson, repair work on the high school pool is nearing completion. The pool’s pump and filtration system was replaced, and the pool, deck area and locker rooms were deep cleaned and underwent repairs.
38th District Court
“There are a few things I want to highlight. The first thing that most of you already know about is the new police courthouse,” Galen said. “The building that was next to us was an auto parts store. That has been demolished. The ground has been fully prepped for the next phase, which is the design and building phase. Part of the design is to have two courtrooms. The goal is hopefully for us to get a second judge.”
Galen also told the attendees about the launch of a treatment court in the city.
“I’m starting a drug and alcohol court. It’s for people with drug and alcohol addiction. This initiative is the cornerstone to our efforts to address the root causes of a lot of the cases that come before me,” Galen said.
Paperwork for the treatment is in order, the judge said. Officials are just waiting for conditional approval from the state.
“Treatment courts are transformative. They address underlying issues contributing to criminal behavior,” Galen said. “They are based on understanding that the individuals who are struggling with substance abuse and related challenges need more than just punitive measures. They need support, treatment and opportunities for rehabilitation.”

Rush and Marc Mayes offered opening prayers, stepping in for fire chaplain Kevin Lancaster, who was unable to attend. During the morning, the firefighters received their new badges and each rang the department’s bell to signify their promotions. The firefighters have completed various levels of schooling and earned departmental awards over the years. Clark shared brief stories of each of them.
Damm was hired in August 2014.
“He’s one of the calm, cool heads in this department. He will help you out with anything and everything,” Clark said. “Brian has a unit citation and lifesaving award. The unit citation I was on with Brian was a house fire where a woman was trapped at Lexington and Semrau. She was a 68-year-old woman trapped in a house. Brian didn’t hesitate, went in there and grabbed her out.”
Szczesniak, who assists in many capacities, also was credited for saving a resident from another house fire.
“One of the runs he was on, a
family was trapped in a house here,” Clark said. “The crew altogether did an excellent job, but Mike was able to grab the dad of the household out by himself and bring him downstairs. Mike’s a heck of a guy to have around.”
Frattini, named firefighter of the year in 2016, “comes from a long line of firefighters,” Clark said.
“He’s been a great asset here. He can tell you the history about anything. He can tell you where all the stations are in the county and Wayne County. He’s got a passion, to say the least, about fire service,” Clark said. “He’s a very educated individual. We are

very, very happy to have Frattini stepped into this role.”
During the event, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal Alton Polk welcomed Clark into his new role as fire chief.
“Jason and I got hired together in 2006, so we’ve been on the job 19 years now. I consider him a good friend, and we came up the ranks together,” Polk said. “I have no doubt that in this new challenge, with the support of his wife, Amber, and two sons, Easton and Kody, that he will be successful. I am very honored to introduce him as our new fire chief.”

Mike Szczesniak rings the bell for his promotion to lieutenant.
Fire chief
from page 3A
“Chief Clark brings nearly 19 years of experience with the Eastpointe Fire Department. In addition to his extensive background in fire science, prevention, and safety, he is also a registered nurse and a tactical paramedic,” Walton said via email. “Chief Clark has served the Eastpointe community with honor and has received three lifesaving awards, several unit citations, merit awards, and recognition for mentoring new members of the Eastpointe team. His passion for the Eastpointe community is evident, and I am confident that he will continue to serve both the department and the city well.”
In his new role, Clark’s administrative responsibilities will range from managing the department’s budget to making sure the firefighters are trained and have the proper equipment and tools needed for fire suppression and medical emergencies. Ensuring licenses are up to date and monitoring the marshal division and prevention are also part of the new chief’s many duties.
“Taking this position took a lot of thought to think if I wanted to move out of the ranks of riding the rigs and being on the trucks with the guys, because that was a passion of mine for a long, long time,” Clark said. “But the timing was right and just felt like maybe I can build on some of the positive stuff already done around here from the past administration. I think the past administration set some things up very well.
“We’re in a healthy position,” he said. “Our staffing is up. We were running low for a little while. For a while it seemed like our community engagement was down a little because we didn’t have the staffing. That’s one of the changes I really want to make, to get our community engagement back up with fire prevention and getting into the schools.”
Recently, too, the department started conducting prefire surveys, where crews will familiarize themselves with various buildings within the city.
“So, if a building ever catches on fire, they’ve seen it before, they kind of understand where the exits are, what the hazards are, what type of construction it is,” Clark said. “That allows us to be more engaged with the community to meet business owners and see what their needs are.”
The Eastpointe firefighters/paramedics work in 24-hour shifts. There are 23 fulltime firefighters in the department, including Clark and Fire Marshal Alton Polk, three sergeants, three lieutenants, three battalion chiefs and 12 firefighters. Typically, there are four firefighters on duty every shift, plus three officers of the different ranks.
“We have a strong culture here. The firefighters deliver a high service. They’re
highly educated and highly trained. They’re aggressive individuals. When they get called to a job, they’re going to mitigate that hazard with everything they have,” Clark said. “A lot of great guys work here. I think that’s been the driving force. Being able to show up and assist in a type of need is probably the greatest joy. Thus far, it’s been a fulfilling career and I hope that continues in this role as well.”
All his years on the job taught the new fire chief that “you kind of have to be ready for everything.”
“You definitely get to know people through the responses, going out there. People with underlying medical problems are going to call the most,” Clark said. “There’s violent crime that happens, severe car accidents that happen, fires that happen in the city. The city as a whole is a busy city. Over 6,000 calls for service every year is what we’re averaging right now out of one station.”
Clark also has close ties to Eastpointe. His wife, Amber, is a 2002 East Detroit High School graduate. The couple lived in Eastpointe for about four years and now reside in Macomb Township with their sons, Easton, 9, and Kody, 7.
“I’d have to credit my wife for me being here,” Clark said. “She supported me for the schooling and all the years of me not being home, and her handling the household and the kids by herself.”
Clark attended the emergency medical technician and medic programs through the Waterford EMS Academy, went through the Oakland Community College Firefighter Academy, and administrative courses through Macomb Community College. Clark earned his nursing degree through St. Clair Community College.
Clark is filling the vacancy left when Brian Marquardt retired as fire chief Dec. 31, 2024.

ShamRock
from page 12A
The SJO members span from the Class of 1957 to the Class of 2006. The band members put their style on songs from various artists, including Michael Bublé, Steely Dan and Neil Diamond. Their talent can also be heard on musical medleys featuring two of England’s greatest bands: the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. The audience, too, will be on their feet for Michael Jackson’s “Rock with You.”
“It’s just crazy fun. We’re acting like we did when we were in high school,” Sell said. “We have a blast. I think we realize how fortunate we were that we had an incredible band program. There is a bond between us. It’s like a sports team.”
“It’s been a fun journey,” Michaels said.
The Andiamo show will feature two parts. At the beginning of the night, the band will perform its own signature show. After a brief intermission, they’ll return to the stage with Seraphine for a segment featuring songs that made Chicago a household name, including “25 Or 6 to 4,” “Make Me Smile” and “Saturday in the Park.”
Most of the pop and rock music the band performs wasn’t written for big band. So Michaels and alto saxophonist Greg Milewski compose the arrangements.
“We customize it and make it our own. It’s a lot of fun to reimagine them with a bigger band,” Michaels said. “How can we take this cool sound of a big orchestra and make it fit into the modern sounds we want to have so it sounds new and interesting to the audience.”
One of Michaels’ favorite songs to play is Chicago’s instrumental “Mongonucleosis.”
“It comes to life better than when I orchestrated it on my computer,” Michaels said. “All the horns play different parts at different times. By the end, it’s super complex.”
Michaels, a longtime Chicago fan, looks forward to performing alongside Seraphine.
“It’s going to be interesting to see how it all comes together. When you’re a young kid, you never could imagine it,” Michaels, of Milford, said. “It’s sort of surreal. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

police chief as needed. The position is largely
unless the City Council makes an exception or when expenses, approved by the police chief, come up. They’re required to have the necessary permits to carry a concealed weapon. They wear a badge and wear a uniform but can only perform duties when called on.
Palimino became a reserve officer for the department in 2001, according to Berlin. He rose to the rank of assistant unit commander, a post he held for over 20 years.
Palimino said he grew up in Roseville and graduated from Brablec High School. Palimino’s wife found the job after he got out of the military.
“I can honestly say this has been one of the best experiences I have witnessed in my life,” he said. “I had a family of reserve officers, I had a family with the department and, as you can see, I had a family with the council as well.”
He said admitting he had to retire is one of the most difficult things he’s had to do.
“It was time. I physically just can’t do it anymore, but I’m hoping I can stay in touch with everybody and find something new I can do that I’m capable of,” Palimino said. “I’m going to miss everybody.”
Berlin said Lonnie Scheuer became a
reserve officer in 2011.
“He’s a gentle giant. He’s always been very good to work with,” Berlin said. “We’ve been blessed to have him with our department for so many years.”
“I’ve really enjoyed working with the Roseville Police Department for 13 years,” Scheuer said. “I wish my daughter was here, but she passed away.”
Scheuer’s daughter passed away last September from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Veo started out as a reserve officer in 1992 and climbed the ranks to squad leader and then assistant unit commander, according to Berlin.
“I just enjoyed working for the city for the last 32 years. Going to miss it,” Veo said. “It’s been a lot of fun.”
Lyons had been with the department since 1998.
“I’d like to thank the city for hiring me 26 years ago,” Lyons said. “I’ll miss it and I’ll miss the city.”
All council members thanked the officers at the end of the meeting. Roseville Mayor Robert Taylor thanked the officers.
“I’m happy for them, but sad for our city,” Taylor said. “You guys have done a wonderful job — unsung heroes as far as I’m concerned. I really want to thank every one of you guys.”
