Summary
At the Feb. 3 meeting the committee authorized the Police Chief to post for a fourth officer and approved increasing the police on‑call limit to 15 miles from Markesan; both motions carried.
The Finance, Personnel & Safety Committee voted to allow the Police Chief to post a job opening for a fourth police officer and to keep the posting open until the vacancy is filled. Joseph Kazda moved the posting authorization, seconded by David Abendroth; the motion carried.
Separately, the committee approved a motion from Joseph Kazda, seconded by Dennis Treimstra, to increase the police on‑call limit to 15 miles from Markesan.
