Board approves police appointment, retirement and routine permits; schedules follow‑up inspections
Summary
The board approved the Chief of Police’s personnel requests (a probationary appointment and a retirement), renewed an amusement‑device license, approved right‑of‑way permits and a garage sale permit, and acknowledged a variance filing for a future Fire Station No. 7.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved several routine administrative items at its Feb. 5 meeting.
Correspondence from Jeffrey Long, Chief of Police, requested approval to appoint Peyton Jordan as a probationary police member effective Feb. 3, 2026, and to accept the retirement petition of Master Sergeant Shawn George effective March 28, 2026. The board approved Chief Long’s requests on a unanimous voice vote.
The controller’s office sought renewal of an amusement‑device license for Game Time Three Park; the board approved that renewal. The board also approved multiple right‑of‑way permits submitted by engineering (two sewer contractors and two NEPCO gas‑related permits), a garage sale permit, and set a Feb. 26, 2026 hearing date on a late business‑license request that was filed late.
The board acknowledged receipt of a variance application signed by the board president for a future Hammond Fire Station No. 7; no action was necessary beyond placing the item on the record.
Separately, the board set a status check for April 2, 2026, for multiple property‑maintenance matters (including 6102–6104 Kennedy Avenue and 847–117), and instructed building staff to coordinate inspections and follow‑up.
