Old Business
Police Personnel Board Vacancy Process – Applications for all city boards are available online. Once an application is
received for the Police Personnel Board, it is reviewed to determine that the applicant does not have a conflict in serving
the department. Once that determination has been made, the applications are reviewed by the Mayor who selects a
candidate who is best suited to the position. The new Board member is announced at an upcoming city council meeting
by the Mayor. Members of the Board expressed an interest in reviewing the applications in an effort to provide the
Mayor with additional information to consider when making the determination to fill vacancies.
Hiring Update – The last process for filling vacancies for communications and officers was a success. Chief Schroeder
announced that there are currently two positions available for communications; one resignation was recently received
in addition to a vacancy that has been left open due to the spending freeze. There are currently three vacancies for
police officers of which we can fill two at this time.
New Business
Vacancy for Vice Chair for Personnel Board – Mr. Cline’s resignation from the board left this position available. It was
moved by Chris Ricks and seconded by Kelly Dillon that Rick Derks fill this position. The motion was carried unanimously.
Resignation of Board Member – Curtis Creagh announced his resignation from the Board. Mr. Creagh has provided
valuable insight to the Board during his time of service. Members of the Board wished him well as he pursues career
opportunities that will take him away of the Jefferson City area.
