Twin City commission authorizes mayor to negotiate compensation for chief of police candidates
Summary
At a special Oct. 14 meeting, the Twin City commission unanimously authorized Mayor Matt W. Donaldson to negotiate compensation and employment terms for approved candidates for chief of police following executive session; no candidate names or compensation details were released.
Twin City’s mayor and city commissioners on Oct. 14 unanimously authorized Mayor Matt W. Donaldson to negotiate compensation and employment terms for approved candidates for chief of police.
The action came after the commission convened a special called meeting and held an executive session to consider personnel matters. Commissioner William R. Brown III moved to authorize the mayor to negotiate terms; Mayor Pro Tem Jule Bady Jr. seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The commission first approved the meeting agenda and then voted to enter executive session. After returning to open session, members approved the mayor’s authority to complete negotiations related to employment and compensation for the candidates the commission had approved. The minutes do not identify the candidates or specify salary, benefits, or start dates.
Routine business concluded with a motion to adjourn that the commission approved unanimously. Next steps: the mayor is authorized to negotiate and, if agreements are reached, the commission would be expected to consider final employment offers in a subsequent public meeting or as otherwise permitted under state law and city policy.
