After the presentation of the budget spreadsheets the commission moved to receive the reports and place them on file. Commissioners then considered approval of the monthly bills, which included medical, psychological and recruiting expenditures for both police and fire departments; the commission voted to approve payment of the bills.

Why it matters: Budget burn rates and monthly bill approvals affect the departments’ ability to continue recruitment and medical/physical processes tied to hiring and readiness.

No detailed line‑item breakdown beyond the broad categories was provided in the public discussion; commissioners asked whether current spending would carry through the rest of the year and were told staff expect additional spending as new hires are onboarded. The motions to receive the budget report and to pay the monthly bills were both seconded and approved in public session; the meeting record shows affirmative votes but does not list a roll‑call tally in the public minutes.

The chief said the recruits have been learning department operations and “they're actually doing some live burn training today,” and described an ongoing schedule of role rotations and additional training weeks to complete the academy. The commission heard a request to begin a recruitment cycle targeting a potential fall hiring class, using the department’s online application system, Public Safety Answers, for initial vetting and distributing candidate certifications. Staff said they expect an application window of roughly four to six weeks and planned to schedule commission interviews in June if the timeline holds. No formal motion or recorded vote to authorize the recruitment cycle appears in the public record; staff noted the city council must fund positions and that administrative staffing dollars are already in place.

Chief Love also reported the department’s combined police‑fire command vehicle is on site for systems testing, describing several days of IT and equipment checks and saying the vehicle has been used at senior‑staff meetings in preparation for the NFL draft: “We had our senior staff meeting… regarding the NFL draft and that work will continue until we get to the draft itself,” he said. Commissioners were invited to view the vehicle at a later date.

Why it matters: Recruitment and academy throughput affect the fire department’s ability to staff suppression and medical response; the command vehicle and draft planning are operational preparations for a high‑profile event requiring interagency coordination.

The promotional list approved by the commission (shared in the packet) lists, in alphabetical order, Bashir (surname transcribed variously as \"Byrne\" and later as \"Broon\" in the record), Dan Skinner, Chris Wobble and Derek Wickland; the commission stated the list will remain active through March 2027. The commission then convened a closed session under Wisconsin open‑meetings law to consider promotion and candidate backgrounds and returned to confirm its personnel decisions.

Why it matters: The promotion and the active eligibility list determine which sworn officers are available to fill patrol sergeant vacancies, affecting patrol staffing and shift coverage.

During open session the commission voted to approve the promotional list; no roll‑call breakdown was recorded in the public minutes. In closed session the commission reported that it supported promoting Officer Bashir to the open sergeant position, effective at the next available date. The commission also reviewed patrol candidate backgrounds: it reviewed six backgrounds, rejected three candidates, recorded one withdrawal and continued two candidates in the process. In a separate closed‑session step the commission interviewed two patrol candidates, continued one and rejected one.

Commission discussion in public session also noted a separate sergeant academy has started for candidates who passed the assessment center. The commission referenced four sergeant candidates by name during public remarks: Derek Wicklund (recorded earlier as a candidate who may serve as acting sergeant while retaining a canine assignment), Bashir, Chris Fauble and Dan Skidore.

The commission took a final vote to confirm the closed‑session report and personnel actions; the confirmation passed as reported. The meeting minutes do not record specific effective dates for the promotion beyond “the next open time.”

The commission’s actions conclude the formal personnel steps it controls; implementation details such as exact promotion effective dates and payroll changes will be handled by city personnel and were not specified in the public record.

","The Police and Fire Commission approved a promotional eligibility list for police sergeant and, following closed-session review, advanced Officer Bashir for promotion; commissioners also reviewed patrol candidate backgrounds and continued some applicants in the hiring process.","actionData","errors"]
