Council votes to dismiss police officer Casey Har after executive session
Summary
After a closed executive session on personnel, the council returned to open session and voted to dismiss police officer Casey Har effective immediately; no public commenters spoke and the meeting adjourned shortly after.
A council member moved to dismiss police officer Casey Har from the police department effective immediately after the council reconvened from an executive session on personnel.
The motion to dismiss was introduced "coming back from executive session on a personnel matter, I'll make a motion to dismiss officer Casey Har from the police department effective immediately," attributed in the transcript to a council member. Another council member seconded the motion, the council conducted a roll-call vote and the motion carried.
The council had entered executive session earlier in the meeting under "section 5CS. 120 C1 of the open meetings act for discussion of personal matters," a procedural step that was moved, seconded and approved at about 5:31 p.m. The meeting returned to general session at 6:02 p.m., where the dismissal motion was made and approved. The transcript records only the phrase "Motion carries"; no roll-call tallies or individual yea/no votes are specified in the record.
The chair opened the public-comment period and recorded that no members of the public spoke. A motion to adjourn followed and the meeting ended around 6:03 p.m.
No additional reasons for the dismissal, terms of separation, or any statements from the officer or department appear in the transcript.
