Robins council updates police chief qualifications, authorizes postings and part‑time code compliance role
Summary
The council approved updates to the Police Chief job description (lowering the experience requirement from 10 to 7 years), authorized posting the chief position with a recommended salary range of $94,000–$104,000, and approved both a part‑time code compliance job description and posting; City Attorney advised ensuring ADA‑compliant physical requirements.
The City of Robins on Feb. 16 approved updates to staffing job descriptions and authorized public postings as the city searches for a new Police Chief and adds a part‑time Code Compliance Officer/Public Works employee.
Resolution No. 0226-2 revised the Police Chief job description following the former chief’s retirement; Mayor Chuck Hinz recommended reducing the minimum experience requirement from 10 years to 7 years. The Council unanimously approved the resolution. The Council then approved Resolution No. 0226-3 to post the Police Chief position; Councilor Mike Foley recommended a $94,000–$104,000 salary range to keep the posting competitive, and City Attorney Holly Corkery advised that the physical requirements in the posting should match the approved job description.
The Council also approved Resolution No. 0226-4, adopting a job description for a part‑time Code Compliance Officer/Public Works employee, and Resolution No. 0226-5 authorizing the posting of that position. Corkery noted additional detail should be added to the physical requirements to ensure ADA compliance. All four resolutions carried on unanimous votes.
Council did not record debate about specific candidates during the public meeting; the City asked interested parties to follow the posted job announcements for application instructions and deadlines.
