Council hears request to transfer officer Judd Tucker from police to fire department; no formal vote recorded
Summary
City staff asked the Winfield City Council for permission to transfer Judd Tucker from the police department to the fire department to fill an open position, with a proposed start date of Sept. 15; the transcript records the request and a recommendation from Fire Chief Morrison but shows no formal vote.
City staff on Sept. 2, 2025, asked the Winfield City Council to allow the transfer of officer Judd Tucker from the police department to the fire department to fill an open position, and the record notes a proposed start date of Sept. 15.
A council member or staff speaker explained the request and said they had spoken with Fire Chief Morrison, who recommended the transfer. The speaker asked the council to allow the transfer so Tucker could fill the position in the fire department. The transcript records the exchange and the proposed start date but does not show a motion being made or a formal council vote on the transfer during the meeting.
Why it matters: personnel movements between public-safety departments affect staffing levels and departmental operations. In this case, the council was asked to authorize a transfer to fill a vacancy in the fire department; the transcript records the request and the chief’s recommendation but not a recorded approval.
The meeting record does not include a formal resolution, motion, or roll-call vote on the transfer in the transcript; it shows only the request and a referenced recommendation from Chief Morrison.
