The Finance, Personnel & Safety Committee on Feb. 3 authorized the Police Chief to post a job opening for a fourth police officer and keep the posting open until the vacancy is filled.
Joseph Kazda moved the recruitment authorization, seconded by David Abendroth; the motion carried. The minutes record that the Chief may proceed with advertising and hiring under the department's standard hiring procedures.
The committee did not record a discussion about budget offsets or a specific start date for the new position. The Police Chief identified department priorities later in the meeting, including equipment and records-management tasks that the department says will accompany any staffing changes.
