June 11,2003
SUBJECT: Authorization to hire replacement of Officer Eliingwodh
Our selection process for the hiring of a replacement officer for the position left vacant by
the resignation of Officer Ellingworth is complete. We have selected Kevin Heldt of
Webster City, iowa, as the top candidate and are prepared to make a conditional offer of
employment. Mr. Heldt is currently a police officer with the Webster City Police
Depa~iment and he has been employed there for five (5) years.
I am requesting authorization to make a conditional offer of employment to Mr. Held[ This
offer is contingent on Mr. Heldt passing the departmental required physical and
psychological exams.
I am also requesting that he start at the fa:st pay step in the union contract. Kevin is certified
as a field training officer, intoxilyzer operator, defensive tactics and asp baton instructor, and
is First Responder certified. Based on the experience and training levels this candidate
already has, the increase to starting at pay step one is very insignificant.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this process.
