Summary
Council approved the police chief's request to hire a certified part-time officer to support local law enforcement; the motion passed unanimously at the May 13 meeting.
The Aplington City Council unanimously approved the hiring of a certified part-time police officer after Police Chief Lind requested authorization at the May 13 meeting.
Chief Lind updated the council on recent calls and repairs to the 2016 Police Explorer and asked for permission to hire a certified part-time officer to help cover patrol duties. A motion by Prier, seconded by Jacobs, to approve the hiring carried without dissent.
The council did not specify the hire’s start date or budget line during the meeting; Chief Lind discussed vehicle repairs and routine operational matters but provided no additional staffing details. The clerk will process the hiring paperwork and related personnel steps.
