Board of Trustees votes to deny voluntary reimbursement-fee request for chief and lieutenant
Summary
The Board of Trustees approved a motion to deny a request to allow voluntary reimbursement fees for the chief and lieutenant; the clerk recorded the result as "We have 3 yes to abstain." The meeting then moved to adjournment amid brief confusion over who seconded the motion.
President Martin, the board president, moved to deny a request to allow voluntary reimbursement fees for the police chief and lieutenant, and the board approved the motion in a roll call, according to the meeting transcript.
The motion was introduced and moved by President Martin, who said, "So I moved and seconded to deny the request for voluntary reimbursement fees by the chief and lieutenant." The transcript does not specify the dollar amounts, eligibility criteria, or who requested the voluntary reimbursements.
The clerk then called the roll. The clerk asked for each trustee by name; affirmative responses were recorded and the clerk announced, "We have 3 yes to abstain." The transcript does not list who, if anyone, formally abstained or the precise tally beyond that announcement.
Following the vote, Trustee Epstein moved to adjourn. There was a brief exchange to confirm who had seconded the adjournment; Epstein said, "I I made the motion" and later, "I'll 2nd it." The board then called for the final voice vote, members said "Aye," and the meeting ended.
No ordinance numbers, resolutions, or legal citations were presented during the discussion, and no additional directions to staff were recorded in the transcript. Details about the reimbursement request itself (amounts, policy language, or the requester) were not specified in the available transcript.
