Committee recommends Police Department rules and regulations with edits; manager to clarify two items

Village of Waterman Public Safety Committee · September 22, 2025

Summary

The Village of Waterman Public Safety Committee reviewed a Police Department Rules and Regulations policy drafted by Chief Jemison, recommended one edit, asked two clarifying questions for the chief, and voted 3-0 to recommend the edited policy for further consideration.

The Village of Waterman Public Safety Committee on Sept. 22 reviewed a Police Department Rules and Regulations policy completed by Chief Jemison with input from Sgt. Swanson and Officer Vandergrift. Trustee Jay moved to recommend the policy with an edit, Trustee Wade seconded, and the motion passed 3-0.

Manager Amy Nykaza said the committee had one recommended edit to the document and identified two questions she will clarify with Chief Jemison before the policy proceeds to the board. The committee did not finalize those clarifications during the Sept. 22 meeting. The committee vote was recorded as a recommendation to the full board rather than an immediate adoption.

The committee’s action is a procedural recommendation: the committee recommended approval of the edited policy (motion moved by Trustee Jay, seconded by Trustee Wade) and asked staff to return with clarified language. No ordinance number or further legal citation was recorded during the meeting.
