Summary

Police Chief Tony Peluso said the department can move forward with logistics for the sergeant promotional exam despite pending union contract approval; a lateral candidate was added back to the lateral hiring list by departmental authority.

Police Chief Tony Peluso asked whether the Board must be involved in the upcoming Police Sergeant promotional process. City Attorney Melissa Wolf advised that the new police union contract must be formally approved before the Board can change its rules, but she confirmed the Police Department can proceed with notifying the testing service and handling the logistics for the promotional exam.

Chief Peluso also reported a lateral candidate and asked that the candidate be returned to the lateral hiring list. After discussion, the Department confirmed it had the authority to do so and the candidate was placed back on the lateral list. The Board did not need to take formal action on that personnel placement at this meeting.

The Commission deferred any formal Board rule changes related to promotions until after the union contract is finalized.
