Franklin Police Merit Board elects officers, approves claims and minutes
Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Franklin Police Merit Board elected officers by voice vote, approved a claims invoice after a question about billing, and accepted the Feb. 3 minutes, all by unanimous voice votes; routine actions cleared the way for the board to focus on hiring logistics discussed later in the meeting.
The Franklin Police Merit Board on March 3 elected its officers and cleared routine business items before turning to hiring logistics.
The board elected Joey Hollis as president, Doctor Schafer as vice president and Les Tabling as secretary after nominations and voice votes. A committee member nominated Hollis, and the motion carried without recorded opposition.
The board then reviewed claims submitted by Mr. Barrett. A committee member questioned why the first line item was listed as no charge and why the document showed a $2.10 rate while a summary reflected $1.98; the attorney explained the average rate fell because a portion of the billed time (six-tenths of an hour) was recorded as no charge. After that explanation the board voted to accept the invoice.
Members also moved to approve the minutes from Feb. 3, 2026; that motion passed by voice vote.
The meeting concluded routine business and moved on to a lengthy discussion of the department’s hiring calendar and related personnel procedures.
The board adjourned after the agenda was completed.
