The Sperry Board of Trustees voted unanimously Aug. 8 to employ Erica Seabourn as a full‑time police officer at a starting salary of $19.00 per hour and to appoint Jayna Johnson as a reserve police officer, both effective Aug. 8, 2024.
Mayor Robert Morton moved the employment motion and Vice Mayor Melody Anderson seconded; the board recorded unanimous votes in favor. The motion specified a 90‑day probationary period for Seabourn. Trustees had discussed the personnel items in executive session under 25 O.S. § 307 B(1) before returning to open session to take the formal votes.
The actions follow an executive‑session review of potential hiring and appointment. The minutes state that Seabourn and Johnson were invited into the executive session but that no decisions were made there; the hires and appointment were formalized after the board reconvened. The board also formally acknowledged the earlier resignation of former trustee Gary Eaton, effective July 11, 2024.
