CC Regular Session 4. 13. <br />Meeting Date: 10/24/2017 <br />By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative <br />Services <br />Information <br />Title <br />Adopt Resolution 17-10-277 to Authorize Hiring a Patrol Officer <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to request the City Council to hire a Patrol Officer. <br />This recruitment was necessary to backfill a vacancy that occurred earlier in the year. Staff conducted an internal <br />and external Patrol Officer recruitment and recommends hiring Mr. Kyle Brotkowski. Mr. Brotkowski participated <br />in and passed the physical agility testing, two interviews, a report writing exercise, a "shoot/don't shoot video <br />scenario, an extensive background investigation, a psychological assessment and a pre -employment physical and <br />drug screen. He, like all new Patrol Officers, will be subject to a 1-year probation period, the City's Personnel <br />Policy and the union contract. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternative # 1: Staff recommends filling this vacancy. Patrol Officers are needed to provide public safety and to <br />support the strategic goals of the community. The strategic goals for the department include maintaining the Police <br />Department staffing levels in order to maintain service levels. Replacing this open position provides the staffing that <br />will allow the department to continue to respond to citizens in a timely manner. <br />Alternative #2: Not filling the Patrol Officer vacancy; staff does not recommend this option. <br />Funding Source: <br />The funding required to fill this vacancy has been accounted for in the 2017 budget and represents an overall <br />savings due to the position being funded while temporarily vacant. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends hiring Mr. Kyle Brotkowski as the Police Department's newest Patrol Officer effective on or near <br />November 8, 2017, at step 1 of the 2017 pay scale which is $25.06 per hour. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt resolution #17-10-277, hiring Mr. Kyle Brotkowski as the Police Department's newest Patrol <br />Officer effective on or near November 8, 2017, at step 1 of the 2017 pay scale which is $25.06 per hour. <br />Resolution 1710277 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 10/19/2017 12:25 PM <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher Started On: 10/10/2017 02:39 PM <br />
