Franklin Police Merit Commission approves claims and minutes; promotion sign-ups announced
Summary
At its May 13 meeting the commission approved emailed claims and the April 1 minutes, heard that promotion sign-ups have begun and a candidate named Reddin may start in early June, and scheduled an early-June session on promotion questions; the meeting then adjourned.
The Franklin Police Merit Commission on May 13 approved claims submitted by email and ratified the meeting minutes from April 1, heard a chief’s report that promotion sign-ups are underway and that a candidate named Reddin may begin in early June, and scheduled a special meeting on promotion questions for June 3.
During the opening business the chair asked members whether they had reviewed claims submitted by email; a motion to accept the claims was made, seconded and approved. "I move we accept the claims," the mover said; after the vote the chair stated, "Claims have been passed." The transcript does not provide a formal roll-call of individual votes or a recorded tally beyond members responding "aye."
The commission then considered and approved the minutes of the April 1 meeting after a motion and second; the chair announced the minutes "passed" as written.
In the chief’s report the speaker said the department "have started sign ups for the promotion process." The chief spelled the name of a candidate aloud: "Reddin, r e d d I n," and estimated the candidate "probably June 2 or June 9" as a start date. When asked, the speaker replied the candidate would be joining "very soon." The transcript does not identify the chief by name or title.
The commission’s attorney reminded members that the body will "be meeting early next month, at 06:15" on June 3 to review promotion questions and to hold an executive session on that date. No additional substantive items were introduced under new or old business.
A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; members answered "aye" and the chair closed the meeting. The transcript records brief closing remarks after the adjournment motion and a final unclear exchange where "Doctor Shaver and Joe" are mentioned; the recording does not provide further context about that remark.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records three formal motions—the acceptance of emailed claims, approval of April 1 minutes, and a motion to adjourn—and records their outcomes as approved. Detailed roll-call vote tallies and movers/seconders are not specified in the transcript.
