Administrator: Chief Kelly to retire June 7; Police and Fire Commission will begin recruitment
Summary
Administrator Arindy told the committee Chief Kelly will retire June 7, that the Police and Fire Commission (a five-member nonpartisan board) will lead recruitment, and that the job description was last updated in 2023 as part of a compensation study.
Administrator Arindy opened the committee discussion by confirming the department will need a new chief: “we have received the announcement of Chief Kelly's retirement for June 7,” she said, and noted the Police and Fire Commission will convene Thursday to begin recruitment.
Arindy described the PFC as a five-member, nonpartisan commission appointed by the mayor that has authority over hiring and disciplinary matters for police and fire chiefs. She said the job description in use was updated in 2023 during the city's compensation study with McGrath and that the committee's role is to confirm whether it wants any edits before recruitment starts. The administrator said the PFC could solicit council input on preferred candidate traits if the council chose to submit them in writing.
