Council approves seasonal hire and authorizes recruitment advertising for third police officer
Summary
Council approved hiring Brett Lux as a seasonal public works employee and authorized advertising to recruit a third full-time police officer with a target to start near July 1. The police-recruitment timeline was discussed and staff will proceed with posting and interviews.
Cascade City Council approved two personnel items during the meeting: the hire of a seasonal public works employee and authorization to advertise for a third full-time police officer.
On the hiring item, the council considered Resolution No. 25-26 to hire Brett Lux as a seasonal public works employee. A motion to hire was made, seconded and carried on roll call.
On public safety staffing, Councilmember(s) and Fred discussed a multi-year conversation about adding a third full-time police officer and aimed for a candidate start date near the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1). Fred outlined a tentative timeline for advertising and interviewing candidates; council approved moving forward with the advertisement and recruiting steps so interviews can be scheduled if qualified candidates apply.
Council will proceed with recruitment and follow standard vetting and hiring procedures for the police position.
