FARGO, N.D. (KFGO/KVRR) — Fargo city commissioner Michelle Turnberg expressed her dismay during Monday night’s city commission meeting after the announcement of a second remote police station was added to the agenda.
Turnberg moved to have the motion moved to the regular agenda. It comes as the commissioner previously hinted at calling for the dismissal of Chief Dave Zibolski.
There has been controversy over how the chief has handled informing the public and media about critical incidents.
The police department wants to put a remote work station at Scheels on 45th Street S. Previously, the department had a location in the fire station north of West Acres, but Zibolski noted that was lost due to remodeling.
“Just coming on the agenda… it just seems like another thing that’s flying under the radar,” said Turnberg.
“It’s secure and our folks can go there and do at least some work and stay as close as possible to their south side beats. And keep them down there in that area of town,” said Zibolski.
The remote work station passed by a 3-2 vote with Turnberg and Commissioner Dave Piepkorn voting against it.
