Douglass Township supervisors vote to re-advertise police officer hiring
Summary
The Douglass Township Board of Supervisors voted July 1 to re-advertise an open police officer position after finding that the first round of applicants did not meet the department's minimum standards; the board also reported a June 28 executive session on personnel.
The Douglass Township Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County voted July 1 to re-advertise an open police officer position after the first round of applicants did not meet the Douglass Township Police Department's stated minimum standards and requirements.
Chairman Joshua Stouch said the executive session held June 28 from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM addressed personnel matters and that no decisions were reached during that closed discussion. At the special meeting, Supervisor Don Bergstresser moved to re-advertise the vacancy; Vice Chair Sara Carpenter seconded the motion and the board approved it. The board recorded no residents in attendance.
Chairman Stouch asked Police Chief Robert Evans to send a letter to each applicant from the first recruitment round "to thank them for applying." The motion to re-advertise was recorded by the board as approved; no roll-call vote names beyond the motion and second were recorded in the transcript.
There was no old business or new business discussed, and no public comment. Vice Chair Sara Carpenter moved to adjourn; Supervisor Don Bergstresser seconded and the meeting ended at 6:02 PM.
