Dana Gooden reappointed to Lewistown Police Commission for three-year term
Summary
The Lewistown City Commission voted to reappoint Dana Gooden to a three-year term on the Police Commission; commissioners discussed the volunteer nature of the role and meeting frequency.
The Lewistown City Commission reappointed Dana Gooden to a three-year term on the City of Lewistown Police Commission.
City Manager Holly Stokes described the police commission as a three-member, public advisory group that participates in hiring interviews and offers community-perspective input on candidates. Stokes said commission members serve three-year volunteer terms and meet as needed, roughly three to four times per year.
A motion to reappoint Gooden was moved and seconded; the commission then took a roll-call vote in favor. Commissioners discussed that the positions are volunteer and that members could be compensated at a nominal rate (the transcript noted $10 per day as a possible compensation amount, but that compensation is not established in the minutes). Stokes said the commission had provided community perspective on prior hiring lists and that two police positions will be opening soon.
The reappointment was approved by roll call. No other conditions or changes to the commission's role were recorded.
