Summary
Markesan's Finance Committee on Feb. 3 authorized the Police Chief to post a job opening for a fourth officer and unanimously approved expanding the police on-call limit to 15 miles from Markesan; motions carried as recorded in the minutes.
The committee voted to allow the Police Chief to post a job opening for a fourth police officer "until filled," giving the department authority to proceed with recruitment. The clerk recorded the motion as: "Motion by Joseph/Dave to allow the Chief to post a job opening for a fourth police officer until filled. Motion carried." The minutes do not list a roll-call tally.

On a motion by Joseph Kazda, seconded by Dennis Treimstra, the committee increased the police on-call limit to 15 miles from Markesan; the clerk's minutes note the motion carried. The minutes list the change but do not provide further operational detail on implementation or notification to mutual-aid partners.
