Council introduces ordinances to update police structure, add assistant chief position
Summary
The council introduced (placed on first reading) ordinances to update the police department code and add an assistant chief position and corresponding compensation schedule; the items were set for the work session first reading.
Chair (recorded as "Chair") read ordinances into the record and placed them on first reading/work session. The chair said the measures amend local code regarding the police department's structure, chain of command and compensation schedule and specifically referenced an ordinance number read aloud in the meeting transcript (transcribed as "ordinance 20 25 dash o 6") and an amendment to an earlier ordinance (transcribed as "ordinance number 20 24 dash o 7").
The chair described the ordinances as adding the position of assistant chief of police to the town's compensation schedule for fiscal year 2025 and said the ordinances would appear on the upcoming work session agenda for first reading. No formal adoption or vote on the ordinances occurred at this session; the items were routed for the council's next review.
The council did not debate the substance at length during the meeting; the ordinances will return for formal consideration in the council's established ordinance reading process.
