Council approves hire of Michael Atlantis for local police force
Summary
The Orleans council voted by voice to hire Michael Atlantis to a police position after reviewing three applicants; the council discussed start dates, notice to the candidate's current employer and uniform purchases.
The Orleans council voted to hire Michael Atlantis to the town police force following a motion by a council member and a second from the chair.
Council members told the assembled meeting that three applicants had been interviewed and that Atlantis had been recommended. A council member formally moved to appoint Atlantis; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote, after which the chair announced Atlantis was officially hired.
Council discussion after the vote focused on logistics. Members said Atlantis was expected to give a two-week notice to his current employer but might be able to start sooner if circumstances permit. The council also discussed purchasing uniforms and arranging onboarding tasks.
The transcript did not record a roll-call tally; the clerk announced the voice vote carried. The motion text on the record was: “to have Michael Atlantis join our force.” The council asked staff to notify the candidate’s employer and begin procurement for uniforms and equipment.
The council moved on to other items and later proposed possibly holding an executive session; no additional personnel actions were recorded in the transcript.
