Village of Huntley police commission discusses promotional scoring changes, recesses for sergeant interviews

The Village of Huntley Police Commission met June 28, 2023, at the Municipal Complex in Huntley and reviewed proposed revisions to the commission's Rules and Regulations, including possible changes to how promotional examinations are scored. Director of Human Resources Chrissy Hoover presented the proposed changes, and commissioners discussed options for altering the scoring process but did not move to adopt any changes at the session.

The commission then recessed to executive session at 11:26 A.M. to conduct oral interviews related to the sergeant promotion process; Chairman Jim Burgess moved and Commissioner Dan Maloney seconded the motion to recess, and a voice vote was recorded as "all ayes." The commission reconvened to open session at 11:39 A.M., and no reportable action from the executive session was made in open session.

Earlier in the meeting the commission approved its general session minutes of March 24, 2023, and separately approved the March 24, 2023 executive session minutes "for content only." Both approvals were made by motion of Chairman Jim Burgess, seconded by Commissioner Dan Maloney, and passed by voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 11:40 A.M. after the commission noted there was no new business.

The proposed Rules and Regulations changes, specifically the suggested adjustments to the promotional examination scoring process, were tabled for further discussion at a future meeting; no amendments or formal votes on the substance of the scoring changes were recorded on June 28. The executive session was described in the minutes as focusing on oral interviews for promotion and the public minutes list the session as having no reportable action on reconvening.
