Summary

The Waite Park City Council voted 5‑0 to appoint Adam Ruhland to a police cadet position funded through the ICPOET state grant, contingent on completion of background, psychological and medical screenings with a Feb. 27 start date.

The Waite Park City Council unanimously approved the appointment of Adam Ruhland to an open police cadet position on a motion that set pay and contingent starting conditions.

Tony, a city staff member, told the council the vacancy is funded or reimbursed through a state ICPOET grant and that the county had completed the background and psychological screens; the medical report remained pending. “The agenda item here tonight is to fill the vacancy of the police cadet that is funded or reimbursed through the state through the ICPOET grant,” Tony said.

A council motion specified the appointment as pay grade nonexempt 4, step 1, contingent on successful completion of background checks including psychological and medical assessments, and set a start date of Feb. 27. The motion was moved and seconded; council voiced “Aye” and the appointment passed 5‑0.

The transcript does not include the cadet’s salary amount, the text of the ICPOET grant, or the final medical report. The council’s next meeting is March 3, when routine follow‑up items may appear on the agenda.
