Council hires three police officers; reserve-pay proposal tabled and mayor authorized to seek code officer
Summary
After an executive session, the council approved hiring three police officers with one-year probation, tabled a proposal to pay reserve officers, and authorized the mayor to search for a code officer/building inspector.
Following an executive session, the Bristow City Council approved employment offers for three named police officers. The council approved hiring Lucas Adcock (Step 1, effective Aug. 29, 2024), Kyle Benson (Step 1, effective Aug. 29, 2024) and Tyler Stroup (Step 1, effective Aug. 22, 2024), each with a one-year probation period. Motions to approve the hires were made and seconded and passed on roll-call votes. The minutes do not list the hourly Step 1 salary amounts (each is recorded in the minutes as "$ per hour"), so pay rates are recorded as not specified in the transcript.
The council discussed but tabled agenda item #22 on providing pay to reserve officers after the city’s labor attorney, Margaret Love, advised against salaried pay and suggested a flat fee might be permissible. The council also took no action on employment of Tina Fortney. Finally, the council authorized Mayor Kris Wyatt to look into finding a Code Officer and Building Inspector. These personnel actions and directions were taken by roll-call votes recorded in the minutes.
