Committee authorizes posting for fourth officer and expands on-call radius to 15 miles from Markesan
Summary
The committee authorized the police chief to post a job opening for a fourth officer and approved increasing the police on-call radius to 15 miles from Markesan. Both motions carried at the Feb. 3 meeting.
The Finance, Personnel & Safety Committee on Feb. 3 approved two police-related personnel actions: it authorized the police chief to post an opening for a fourth police officer and expanded the police on-call limit to 15 miles from Markesan.
The motion to allow the chief to post the job was made by Joseph Kazda and seconded by David Abendroth; the on-call radius increase was moved by Joseph Kazda and seconded by Dennis Treimstra. Both motions were recorded as carried in the minutes. The Police Chief's report had been accepted earlier in the meeting.
The minutes do not record a roll-call tally or an effective hiring timeline; the posting is to remain open “until filled” as recorded in the minutes. The on-call radius change alters the geographic parameters for officers' on-call availability but did not include further operational guidance in the recorded discussion.
