Commissioners recommend Jeremy Harg as 2026 Burns Harbor police chief

Speaker 3 moved and the commissioners approved a recommendation to appoint Jeremy Harg to the 2026 Burns Harbor police chief role during the meeting. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll call in which Commissioner Drake, Commissioner McGraw and Commissioner Bozak each recorded “yes.”

The recommendation came under "new business," where Speaker 3 introduced the nomination and the body voted without discussion recorded on alternatives or conditions. The transcript records the name as "Jeremy Harg"; no further biographical or appointment-process details (such as an effective date, employment contract, or whether this is a final hiring action or a recommendation pending further steps) were provided in the meeting text.

Why it matters: The action names the person the commissioners endorsed for the police chief role for 2026, a leadership position for local public safety. The transcript does not show additional steps (personnel committee review, formal hiring vote by another body, or a start date), so the recommendation should not be treated as the final administrative appointment.

Supporting details: Speaker 3 made the motion and Speaker 3 (the transcript records a second) seconded it; roll-call approvals were recorded as follows in the transcript: Commissioner Drake — yes; Commissioner McGraw — yes; Commissioner Bozak — yes. The meeting did not include a discussion of alternatives to the recommendation, vote counts beyond the three recorded “yes” responses, or any conditions attached to the endorsement.

The meeting then moved on to other operational items, including personnel reports and capital-equipment notes. The transcript does not record further paperwork or the town's next procedural steps for formalizing the appointment.

The commissioners adjourned after the meeting's remaining items were handled.
