Mayor: new part-time officer to be sworn in Sept. 8; schedule and onboarding discussed
Summary
Mayor Tony Pezze said the village will swear in a new part-time officer on Sept. 8 with two nights weekly and alternating Saturday coverage; trustees discussed training, fingerprinting and housing/timeline concerns for the officer.
Mayor Tony Pezze told trustees the new officer "will take oath at our next meeting on the 8th," and said the officer's schedule will include two weeknights and "every other Saturday," with Sundays off until a second officer is hired. Pezze said the officer also conducts FBI fingerprinting work that ties him to a separate business and that onboarding includes coordination with a second officer and local training: "Seath is going to be working with him on that first day he comes in."
Trustees asked about housing timelines and contract provisions; Pezze said the village has negotiated the contract with lawyer involvement in recent weeks and that the officer is actively looking for housing but timing could be months. Trustees agreed to publish the officer hours on the website and continue contract talks in executive/administrative follow-up.
