LMemo to James Fornell, City Manager <br /> Page 2 <br /> October 24, 1980 <br /> There were several reasons for the delay involved in replac- <br /> ing Officer Hawkinson. Officer Hawkinson submitted his letter of <br /> resignation September 24th. I immediatelycontacted Larry Thomp- <br /> son of SPRS and was unable to get candidates ' names until I <br /> attended a seminar on the testing procedures to be used. I <br /> attended the required seminar on October 8th, the earliest date <br /> possible, and did not receive the candidates ' names until Octo- <br /> ber 14th. We are presently scheduling initial interviews for <br /> October 27 and October 28. The testing process is in progress; <br /> however, Council approval and budget transfers are necessary be- ' <br /> fore further testing can be completed and a replacement hired. <br /> If a new officer were added as soon as possible, some over- <br /> time would be avoided as well as .numerous shift changes.. -The <br /> earliest possible date we could have a new officer on the street <br /> would be approximately November 15th. <br /> � I feel that a replacement should be hired as soon as possible, <br /> as some costs would be offset by less overtime, especially during <br /> the holiday season. <br /> Donald Hickerson <br /> Chief of Police <br /> DH:cz <br /> • <br />
