Evansville Police Mayor Commission approves minutes, $1,600 in claims and continues applicant testing
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Evansville Police Mayor Commission approved Aug. 26 meeting minutes, authorized $1,600 in claims and voted to continue testing for applicant 24-119; commissioners also heard updates on probationary officers and noted a resignation and a retirement.
The Evansville Police Mayor Commission met Monday, Sept. 9, 2024, and took routine administrative actions including approval of minutes and claims while accepting updates on personnel matters.
The meeting opened at 4:29 p.m., when the presiding officer acknowledged guests including Chief Phil Smith, Commissioner DJ Thompson, Dr. Denise Johnson Kinkade, Commissioner Sutton, Sergeant Wolf and Secretary Joey Peters.
The commission approved the minutes from its Aug. 26, 2024 meeting after Speaker 2 moved to adopt them and the motion received a second; the chair announced the ayes carried.
The commission then approved claims totaling $1,600. "I'll make a motion to approve the claims for $1,600," the presiding officer said; commissioners voted in favor and the chair announced the motion carried.
On personnel matters, commissioners received an update on probationary officers and field training. Commissioners returned later in the meeting to confirm the department is continuing to monitor probationary officers' progress and training.
The commission also voted on applicant file 24-119. Speaker 2 moved to "relay and continue with the testing process," the motion was seconded, and the commission recorded affirmative votes; the chair announced the motion carried.
A resignation was announced during the meeting. Commissioners asked whether a motion was needed; participants agreed no formal motion was made in the transcript and the departing individual was not named. A separate retirement was noted; commissioners discussed sending a letter of acknowledgement and indicated the department will handle standard retirement notification procedures.
The commission set its next meeting for Monday, Sept. 23, 2024, at 4:15 p.m. A commissioner relayed an email from Sergeant Wolf about the civic center closing at 4:30 p.m., but deputies said the civic center would be open for city council night so the commission's meeting time would not be affected.
A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the commission voted in the affirmative and the chair declared the meeting adjourned.
The transcript does not identify the names of individuals who moved or seconded every motion beyond generic speaker turns, and no formal roll-call vote totals or the name of the person who resigned were provided in the transcript.
