HR presents police staffing request; council closes public hearing on first reading
Summary
The human resources director briefed council on a request to add a second police officer classification and complete a prior reclassification; the item was presented as a second part of the FY25 staffing request and the public hearing was closed without further council action that night.
Tiffany Carter, director of human resources and civil service, presented the council with a police‑department staffing request during the meeting’s ordinance and public‑hearing segment. Carter said the FY25 budget previously approved a reclassification from corporal to lieutenant and one new officer; she asked the council to approve a second police officer classification to complete the fiscal‑year staffing request.
"So I'm back today concluding the fiscal year 25 request by asking for the one police officer to round out our total two," Carter said. She provided no additional budget details during the brief presentation and invited questions; no substantive public testimony was offered and the mayor closed the public hearing on the item that evening.
The item was a second reading and public hearing; the council did not take a final vote on the second‑officer request at the March 11 meeting.
