AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE POLICE OFFICER
As indicated to the City Council, last week we received $150,000.00
(one hundred fifty thousand dollars) from the C.O.P.S. Fast program
for the hiring of two new officers. I would like to proceed with
the hiring process for one (1) of these two positions. The next
person on the eligibility roster is Eric Balabon from Anoka.
I am requesting authorization from the City Council to offer a
police officer position to Eric Balabon contingent on him
successfully passing the psychological examination, medical
examination, and the background checks.
I will be in attendance at Tuesday night's council meeting should
you have any questions.
