From: <br /> <br /> iver Date: <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Police ~. <br /> <br />February 26, 1996 <br /> <br />FILLING PATROL OFFICER POSITION VACATED BY <br />RICHARD WEISS <br /> <br />As a result of Richard Weiss resigning as a patrol officer, we are <br />in the process of filling this position. We currently have a <br />limited eligibility roster with several potential candidates that <br />are worth considering. <br /> <br />City Administrator Pat Klaers and I have discussed our options in <br />regard to hiring. In the 1996 budget funds were set aside to <br />partially fund a COPS Fast officer if we received a second grant. <br />Unfortunately, we were not selected for a second officer. Pat has <br />indicated that maybe we should consider hiring two (2) officers <br />rather than one (1). <br /> <br />With the filed training program consisting of three (3) months of <br />training and the work involved in preparation for it, we felt it <br />makes sense to have two (2) officers at this time. If the City <br />Council authorizes us to have two (2) officers, we would not be <br />ready to hire these officers until sometime in late March or early <br />April. If you prefer to hire only one (1) officer, the time frame <br />will be the same. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
