White Oak council approves conditional offers for four entry-level police candidates

White Oak Borough Council on October approved conditional offers of employment to four candidates for entry-level police officer positions with the White Oak Borough Police Department. Lori Sharter, who presented the public safety standing committee report, introduced the motions and read the candidates' names and their rankings on the Civil Service Commission’s certified list.

Sharter said the council move to approve conditional offers to Tyler Heinemann, identified as the No. 1 ranked candidate; Cody Stanisek, ranked No. 2; Larry Bishop, ranked No. 3; and Nathaniel Werderbur, ranked No. 4. Each motion was seconded and advanced to a voice vote. A voice vote of "Aye" was recorded for each motion and the presiding officer announced the motions had passed. The actions were recorded as conditional offers of employment, reflecting reliance on the Civil Service Commission’s certified list and standard pre-employment conditions noted by the council during the public safety report.

The council also announced upcoming October meetings: a workshop at 6:45 p.m. and a council meeting at 7:30 p.m. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded near the close of the session; the transcript ends after the second was recorded.

The motions approved were limited to conditional offers of employment; the transcript does not record vote tallies by member name, specific pre-employment conditions, start dates, salary or benefits details, or any subsequent personnel onboarding steps. No executive session was held during this meeting, and no public comments were recorded in the provided segments.

Next steps: the conditional offers are subject to the standard hiring conditions reflected by the Civil Service Commission's procedures (as referenced during the meeting); the council did not provide additional implementation dates in the recorded segments.
