<br /> <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> <br />To <br />Ci Council <br />Agenda Section <br />Consent <br />Item Description <br />Authorization to Hire Replacement Police Officer and Advertise <br />CSO Position <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />Permission to hire Andrew Zabee as a police officer and advertise to fill Community Service Officer <br />position. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />We have a vacant police officer position created by a recent resignation. Andrew Zabee was originally an <br />intern for our department and was later hired as a Community Service Officer, a position he has been in <br />since April 2006. He has performed in an exemplary manner as a CSO and recently graduated from St. <br />Cloud State with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice as well as having completed the police skills <br />training program at Alexandria. He is now eligible to be hired as a police officer. <br /> <br />I recommend promoting Mr. Zabee to police officer contingent on passing the medical and psychological <br />portions of our background process. If approved, he would start his field training process on Tuesday, <br />August 14, 2007. <br /> <br />Mr. Zabee's promoting to the police officer position would leave vacant his CSO position. We would <br />like to advertise to fill the CSO position as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />These are both budgeted positions. More than adequate funds are available through the end of this fiscal <br />year. Mr. Zabee would begin at the starting step according to the current police union contract. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />C: \Documents and Settings \jmiller\Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files\ OLK3E\Action Requested.doc <br />
