Board records fire department resignation, approves lateral hire and probation removal
Summary
The Decatur City Board of Works recorded the resignation of firefighter Derek Schultz and approved hiring a lateral officer (budgeted) and removing Officer Dallas from probation during a routine meeting.
The Decatur City Board of Works recorded a resignation from Derek Schultz of the fire department and approved several personnel actions, including authorization to hire a lateral officer and a vote to remove Officer Dallas from probation.
Board Chair opened the meeting and a board member moved to accept the resignation from Derek Schultz and make it a matter of record; the motion was approved. Later in the meeting, Kevin Gerber raised a request to hire a lateral officer and discussed taking a current officer off probation. Gerber said the lateral hire was budgeted for this year as part of a grant-funded position and that the new hire would take roughly three months to clear hiring processes. The board moved and approved authorization to hire the lateral officer and also approved removing Officer Dallas from probation status.
The decisions were presented as routine personnel matters; no staff reported additional conditions or contingencies attached to the approvals. Next steps noted in the meeting were completing the hiring process and processing the personnel status changes through regular human-resources procedures.
The meeting proceeded to other agenda items after the personnel votes.
