Commission to review sergeant promotion process; funding to shift to police budget in 2027
Summary
The board agreed to review the sergeant promotional process in May with the goal of completing changes before the promotional list expires in July. The commission will fund the 2026 promotion process and shift the cost to the Police Department budget in 2027; waivers will be collected digitally.
Police Chief Tony Peluso told the Commission the sergeant promotional process could be governed by the collective bargaining agreement rather than the Commission's rules. The board agreed to review the sergeant promotion process in May and to aim for approval before the promotional eligibility list expires in July.
Commissioners discussed logistics to accommodate out‑of‑state applicants and the collection of waivers in digital form. The minutes state the Commission will cover the cost of the sergeant promotional process in 2026; that expense will move to the Police Department budget in 2027. No vote specifics were recorded beyond the board's unanimous approval of the Revised Rules and the administrative notes on funding.
