Council: police chief candidate in background checks; special meeting possible
Summary
Mayor Kody Jurgens said interviews are complete and a candidate identified as 'Mrstik' has started background checks; the council said it may hold a special meeting to appoint a new police chief once checks finish.
Pleasantville Mayor Kody Jurgens told the council on Sept. 17 that interviews for the police chief position have concluded and that the candidate identified in the meeting as "Mrstik" has begun background checks.
Council member Rachel Lopez asked the mayor to confirm whether the background-check process had started. Jurgens said he would verify the status and noted that, after checks are complete, the city may need to hold a special meeting to formally appoint a new police chief.
Separately, City Attorney Bob Stuyvesant referenced ongoing personnel-material requests in an unrelated item involving Officer Goods, saying he has been gathering documents at the request of Officer Goods' attorney, Kellie Paschke, and recommended that "Mrstik" be present at a future meeting where the matter will be discussed. Stuyvesant said he would include that matter on a special meeting agenda if necessary.
The council did not set a date for a special meeting on Sept. 17 and provided no timetable for completion of background checks.
