Item No.10B <br />Type of Business: CB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: William A. Clark, Chief of Police <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 5541 Authorizing the Hiring of <br /> A Police Officer <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />HIRING OF NEW POLICE OFFICERS: <br /> On February 26, 2001 the Police Civil Service Commission <br />Submitted a list of three names as eligible for hire by the <br />Police Department. Resolution #5534 was approved by the <br />Council, certifying the list. The Police Civil Service <br />Commission also submitted a recommendation to the <br />Council to hire candidate number one from the list, which the <br />Council approved in resolution #5533. Candidate number <br />one has declined at this time, after accepting an appointment <br />with another Department. The Department obtained legal <br />Council from the City Attorney and is offering to present the <br />list of three back to Council, to allow us to pursue the next <br />candidate on the list. The City Attorney finds no “for or <br />against” this procedure in law, and believes it is up to the <br />comfort level of the Council. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is the opinion of Staff that allowing the Department to <br />make offering to number two on the certified list of three will <br />expedite the hiring process. The Offer to the candidate will <br />be conditional based on passing both physical and <br />Psychological. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />___________________________ <br />William A. Clark <br />Chief of Police
