Memo
Re: Ordinance No. 23 -14 - Authorizing An Additional Police Officer Position
for a Temporary Period of Time, and Declaring an Emergency
Background
Attached for your consideration is Ordinance No. 23 -14, authorizing an additional Police Officer
position for a temporary period of time. This position is necessary due to the fact that a member
of our Police Officer staff has confirmed plans to retire by January, 2014. The Division of Police has
a current eligibility list of Police Officer candidates. Staff would like to take advantage of the June
2014 academy class with the City of Columbus Division of Police to hire a replacement officer
candidate now, so that he /she will be out of the academy and in field training by the time our
veteran officer retires in January.
The additional position will be authorized for a temporary period of time. As soon as the retirement
or another vacancy occurs, the temporary authorization will expire.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council dispense with the second /reading public hearing and adopt
Ordinance No. 23 -14 by emergency at its April 28, 2014 meeting, authorizing an additional Police
Officer position for a temporary period of time.
