The Ellsworth City Council voted to appoint Chad Murphy as the city’s police chief after a motion by Council member Allen and a second by Council member Hanson. Council President brought the selection forward as the next agenda item; following brief discussion of an expected start date and personnel processes, the council approved the appointment by voice vote.
A council member suggested instituting a six-month evaluation for the new chief; another member offered to send the city manager or personnel lead a short email with recruitment-process suggestions. During discussion a staff speaker said, "So what's meant for employees will stay for employees," describing the accounting approach for employee benefits. After the vote members said, "Welcome to the team," and Murphy was welcomed aboard. The council did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the motion was reported approved by voice.
