 To: <br /> <br /> From: <br />Ell iver Date: <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of <br /> <br />September 2, 1997 <br /> <br />Hiring COPS Fast Officer <br /> <br />IT~ ?. 6. <br /> <br />Police~ <br /> <br />In January of 1997, I requested and received approval to hire two <br />(2) COPS Fast Officers. Since then we tested for those positions. <br />After the testing process was completed, it became known that the <br />State Legislature was considering imposing levy limits. As a <br />result of this information, hiring these two (2) officers was <br />delayed. After information became available that there was a <br />special levy outside of the levy limits for COPS Fast Officers, we <br />attempted to fill the positions. Unfortunately we were only able <br />to find one (1) suitable candidate. <br /> <br />I am, therefore, requesting authorization to hire Dale Olmsheid as <br />a Police Officer. Dale is currently a part time Police Officer for <br />the City of Waite Park. <br /> <br />We are in the process of conducting a new selection process. Our <br />hope is to have this process completed and make a recommendation to <br />the City Council by December. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/smp <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
