Agenda Item
Chief Sturgis provided a staffing update for commissioners. There are two new police officers currently
in field training and there two additional vacancies left to fill.
Chief Sturgis distributed the hiring process outline for commissioners and presented an updated police
officer eligibility register for approval. The register includes six new officer candidates and three
candidates who are still viable from the prior hiring process. The register reflected a tie score between
candidate number four and five and also between candidate number six and seven. Per the Rules &
Regulations, Chair Wold conducted a coin toss to determine placement of candidate number four and
five, which resulted in a heads win. The candidate with the surname closest to the beginning of the
alphabet was ranked number four and the tying candidate was ranked number five. Chair Wold
conducted a second coin toss to determine placement of candidate number six and seven, which
resulted in a heads win. The candidate with the surname closest to the beginning of the alphabet was
ranked number six and the tying candidate was ranked number seven.
