Council approves police department classification ordinance, adds three positions
Summary
The council approved an ordinance to establish police department classifications aligned with the adopted FY 2025-26 budget; a city staff speaker said police staffing will increase by three positions and the measure passed unanimously with no public testimony.
City staff presented an ordinance to establish police department classifications tied to the approved fiscal-year budget and to add headcount in the police department.
Uriah (S9) explained the change is part of the city’s approved FY 2025-26 budget and told the council: “police does increase their head count by 3, and that is what you are tonight.” After no public testimony, a council member moved to approve the ordinance and the council voted to adopt it unanimously.
The ordinance was described in the meeting as an implementation step for the adopted budget; the council did not discuss specifics of the positions (rank, assignment or hiring timetable) during the recorded public session, and staff did not provide individual position classifications in the oral presentation.
