Commission notes budget overspend tied to second hiring session, authorizes candidate screening bills
Summary
Commissioners were informed both police and fire budgets are overspent, with fire overspend linked to conducting a second hiring session; the commission authorized bills covering pre-employment physicals and psychological evaluations for police candidates.
During its Dec. 4 meeting the Green Bay Police and Fire Commission received a budget status report showing no new spending in the past month but indicating both police and fire accounts were overspent. Staff attributed the fire overspend to holding a second hiring session this year rather than the typical single session.
Members moved to receive the budget reports and place them on file; the motion was made by Commissioner Cobb with a second recorded for the motion, and passed by voice vote. Separately, the commission reviewed monthly bills, which staff said consisted of pre-employment physicals and psychological evaluations for police candidates. Commissioner Sherman moved to authorize payment of those bills and Commissioner Cobb seconded; the authorization passed by voice vote.
No specific dollar amounts or line-item details were recorded in the public transcript. The commission recorded no roll-call vote counts in the meeting transcript for these items.
Commissioners did not direct additional budget amendments in the public record; staff noted awareness of the overspend and no new spending had occurred in the last month.
