Town of Brownsburg meeting members approved the town’s hiring list and authorized the chief to extend eight employment offers, the meeting record shows.
The motion clears the way to fill municipal vacancies. Participants discussed whether the count included a position held by an employee preparing to retire and referenced a provision in the town’s merit rules that allows the chief one discretionary pick if he chooses.
A staff member asked whether “7” included the position of an employee preparing to retire. The record indicates the answer was yes. The same staff member said the chief would not exercise a discretionary pick in this case, adding, “I am not doing that. I’m just going straight down the list.”
A motion to approve the chief’s recommendation on the hiring list — including allowing the chief to make eight employment offers — was made and approved by voice vote. The transcript records calls for “all those in favor” and a response of “aye,” followed by “opposed, same sign,” and a statement that the motion was approved.
The transcript does not specify which department the hires are for, the names of candidates, the timing for offer letters, or an exact vote tally. No amendments or additional directions were recorded in the meeting excerpts provided.
