Centerville council adopts two ordinances adding police assistant chief post
Summary
Centerville council suspended rules and adopted Ordinances 2025-05 and 2025-06 by title, including an amendment to add an assistant chief to the police department schedule; motions were seconded and carried on roll call at the July 29 work session.
Centerville’s town council voted July 29 to adopt two ordinances affecting the police department, approving motions to suspend the rules and move both measures to final reading by title only.
During the work session the presiding official asked members to suspend rules and adopt Ordinance 2025-05; after a motion and second, the chair called the roll and declared the motion carried. The council followed the same procedure for Ordinance 2025-06, which the town’s reading indicated amends the municipal code to add an assistant chief position to the police department schedule for 2025.
Council members made the motions and seconded them on the record, and the chair announced the motions carried on roll calls. No substantive debate on the ordinances was recorded during the work session; the ordinance text was read aloud in the meeting and the council moved forward on both items by title-only adoption.
The measures were presented as procedural approvals to update department titles and staffing structure; the council did not provide further details on staffing timing, budget impacts or implementation steps during the session. The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 12, 2025, where additional administrative follow-up could appear on the agenda.
