Council unanimously approves hire of Andrew White and authorizes civil-service test for sergeant
Summary
Council voted unanimously to hire Andrew White as a full-time police officer conditionally and voted to authorize the Civil Service Commission to open a sergeant test.
Yeaton Borough Council unanimously approved two personnel actions affecting the police department during the July 17 meeting.
Mayor Rowan Hopkins presented a motion to hire Andrew White as a full‑time police officer for the Yeaton Police Department contingent on the successful completion of a background check, medical, physical, psychological exam and polygraph. The motion passed by roll-call vote with all present council members voting yes.
Council then considered a motion to authorize the Civil Service Commission to open a test for the position of sergeant. The measure also passed, again by unanimous roll call among members present.
Both actions were recorded as motions, seconded and approved; no amendments were recorded. The hires and the test authorization are contingent on routine pre-employment checks and Civil Service Commission processes. Council did not set implementation dates beyond those standard contingencies.
