Commission approves temporary promotion of Chad Caposi to cover lieutenant vacancy
Summary
Facing an absent lieutenant, the commission approved temporarily releasing Chad Caposi from the lieutenants list to fill the role, citing reduced overtime and leadership continuity; the motion passed by roll call.
The Marriage System Commission voted on April 8, 2026, to temporarily promote Chad Caposi from the lieutenants eligibility list to fill an officer leadership gap while a lieutenant is out of duty.
A presenter explained the promotion was intended to save overtime costs and place leadership in the position to maintain daily operations. The presenter indicated the temporary promotion would address an anticipated vacancy period and referenced the existing lieutenants list as the source for the temporary assignment.
A motion was made and seconded to release Chad Caposi for temporary promotion; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Mr. Kempe, Mr. Watts and Mrs. Wasty and the motion passed. Commissioners said they expected the temporary promotion to preserve leadership continuity while the lieutenant’s absence continues.
In other business, a commissioner asked about extending a promotional test list nearing its one‑year anniversary. Staff advised that a formal request should be submitted and that the commission could extend the list at the next meeting to avoid forced re‑testing before a planned retirement.
