Trustees approve hiring part-time officer after brief split vote; new officer sworn in after closed session
Summary
After a failed motion to delay hiring until another officer's return, trustees voted to hire Tim Sullivan as a part-time police officer; Sullivan was sworn in after the meeting's closed session.
Chief Mathon reported that one candidate, Tim Sullivan, had completed background checks and met training-standards prerequisites and that the village could hire him though he might not immediately be available to work on the streets until state training standards paperwork clears.
Trustee Lawrence moved to table hiring until current officer Tyler returns or formally resigns; that motion failed (Paso-No, Gibson-No, Warren-abstain, Dees-No, Nelson-Yes, Lawrence-Yes). Trustee Dees then moved to hire the part-time officer, seconded by Gibson; the motion passed (Paso-Yes, Dees-Yes, Lawrence-No, Gibson-Yes, Nelson-Yes, Warren-abstain). Following closed session, Mayor Morris administered the oath of office and Timothy Sullivan was sworn in as a village officer.
