Council fails to advance full-time hire for police candidate after motion lacks a second
Summary
The Civil Service Commission recommended Kenneth Fye for a full-time police position, and Police Chief David Pernice recommended him, but a motion to hire failed for lack of a second and will be revisited at a future meeting.
The Civil Service Commission provided a certified list showing only one candidate met testing and background requirements and recommended that candidate, Kenneth Fye, for a full-time police officer position. Police Chief David Pernice told the council he had favorable information about Fye and recommended hiring him.
A motion to hire Kenneth Fye was made by Councilor Steadman but failed because no councilor seconded the motion; the minutes record that the motion died and will be revisited at a future meeting. Chief Pernice asked later in the meeting why the motion died, saying he needed to notify the applicant; councilors provided no reason during the session.
The Civil Service Commission’s certified list and its recommendation were recorded in the meeting minutes; no formal vote tally was recorded because the motion lacked a second and therefore did not proceed to a roll-call vote.
