Chief Kelly: job description adequate after 31 years; council discusses candidate traits
Summary
Chief Kelly told the committee the existing job description (updated in 2023) is appropriate; council members asked whether the PFC should seek input on personality or mindset traits for candidates and whether the council should submit guidance in writing.
Chief Kelly, who told the committee he has served as chief for 31 years, said the current job description is appropriate and was updated by experts in 2023. “I've been the chief for 31 years,” he said while endorsing the description as a summary rather than a day-by-day directive for the role.
Several council members asked whether the job summary could or should include desired personality traits or a mindset for future chiefs. One member noted the summary is task-oriented and asked whether the PFC would solicit such input; Administrator Arindy said the PFC typically seeks some council input in prior recruitments and the council could provide a written statement if it wished. The committee agreed it would be reasonable to suggest a friendly, welcoming candidate be considered, but Arindy reiterated that formal changes to the job description were unnecessary if no edits were proposed.
