Mustang Ridge council tables proposal to eliminate officer to hire police clerk/administrator
Summary
The council discussed eliminating one police officer position to fund a clerk/administrator role but tabled the proposal for later consideration. The plan allowed unused funds to be paid as additional compensation to retained officers; no vote to adopt the change occurred.
The Mustang Ridge City Council discussed a proposal to reallocate police‑department funds by eliminating one officer position and using the freed funds to hire a clerk/administrator (part‑time or full‑time as determined). Councilmembers described the role as intended to assist police personnel with preparation, maintenance, filing, retention and updating of departmental documents and records.
Council members also specified that any funds not required to staff the new clerk/administrator position would be allocated among retained police department personnel as additional compensation. The council did not adopt the proposal and tabled the item for future consideration; the transcript records the discussion and the item as 'tabled.'
