Our last recruitment effort, <br />which was in January, exhausted the pre-COVID applicant market. At this time, we are requesting to hire <br />one applicant that was a finalist in an earlier pool and another that was from an internal recruitment. <br /> <br />Michael Graber was recently hired as a police reserve and applied to the internal recruitment. He has a <br />bachelor’s degree in biology and graduated from his law enforcement program in May. All pay and benefits <br />will be consistent with union contact and city policy. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />This is a budgeted position. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> None <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
