Chief Bell announced his plan to retire and recommended Lt. Brad Schlei to succeed him.
Lt. Schlei told the board he would give “110%,” acknowledged he still has “a lot to learn,” and thanked trustees for the opportunity.
The board discussed the transition and a motion by Trustees Lake and Moore sought to appoint Lt. Schlei to a three‑year term beginning Nov. 1, the date Chief Bell is scheduled to retire. The minutes record discussion and the recommendation but do not show a roll‑call vote for that specific motion.
Members of the board publicly thanked Chief Bell for his service and for facilitating a planned transition; the minutes note the board recognized that the chief “faced a lot of adversity” during his tenure.
The appointment would be effective when Chief Bell’s retirement takes effect; the minutes do not record an explicit final vote tally for the motion to appoint.
