Kincaid board says newly hired officer can begin immediately
Summary
The Village of Kincaid confirmed a newly hired police officer is ready to start after trustees said they had already approved the hire; the board discussed timing to cover an upcoming officer leave.
Mayor Robert Morris opened the Jan. 13 regular meeting and asked trustees to confirm when the newly hired officer could begin work. Morris noted an upcoming leave: "DJ leaves the first of February for two weeks," and asked for verification that the new hire could start before then.
Trustee Lawrence said the board had already cleared the hire and emphasized readiness: "we already voted on it that he is ready to go," and Clerk Jayme confirmed the outgoing employee Tyler’s last day is Jan. 23. The discussion did not record a new formal motion about the start date; the board treated the hire as already approved and directed staff to finalize the start logistics.
The exchange focused on ensuring continuous patrol coverage during a planned absence rather than a new hiring debate. The meeting did not list any additional conditions or changes to the hire at the Jan. 13 session.
