Summary
Sheriff Baker told the PAB that the town police chief has tendered his resignation effective in early January (meeting remarks gave Jan. 3 and Jan. 5); members discussed recruitment, interim coverage and sending a letter of appreciation.
Sheriff Baker announced during the special PAB meeting that the town police chief has tendered his resignation effective in early January. Speakers in the meeting gave conflicting effective dates (Jan. 3 and Jan. 5), and the sheriff and administration said the town is actively recruiting a replacement and will provide temporary coverage via rotating deputies.
Administrator Kim confirmed recruitment is underway and that the county is providing coverage on a rotating basis until a permanent chief is hired. A board member suggested sending a letter of appreciation for the departing chief’s years of service; the board agreed to prepare such a letter.
Board members expressed appreciation for the chief’s service; one member said the chief was a mentor and a good leader. The board agreed to follow up on recruitment efforts with the town and to send a note of thanks once the letter is prepared.
