The City of Kingman Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) board approved five new police officer hires and agreed to schedule quarterly PSPRS meetings during a brief meeting in chambers. Mayor Watkins moved to accept the new hires and the motion was seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion carried.

The action followed approval of meeting minutes from July 9, 2024. Mayor Watkins stated, "I will make a motion that we accept these new hires as police officers for the City Of Kingman." The clerk, Annie Meredith, read the names being acknowledged: Stephen Bell, Stephen Badia, Seth Schultz, Henry Escobar and Jabe Jacob Easton. After a motion and a second, the board proceeded with a voice vote; the presiding officer said, "All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries." The transcript does not record individual aye votes or a roll-call tally.

During the meeting the board opened the item called "call to the public" but received no public speakers. Clerk Annie Meredith provided instructions for submitting written comments or registering to call into the meeting, saying members of the public could register by contacting her and should include name, phone number, address and the meeting date and agenda item number.

Under future agenda items, the board agreed to hold PSPRS items quarterly so the panel can acknowledge new members and receive updates from PSPRS. Annie Meredith said, "I think that, it would be beneficial just to meet quarterly... So I will schedule that moving forward for quarterly." The board adjourned after those items.

Discussion versus formal action: the transcript shows formal board actions (approval of minutes; acceptance of five new hires) and a staff direction (the clerk said she will schedule quarterly PSPRS meetings). There were no substantive policy debates recorded, no public comments, and no dissent noted in the vote.
