Councilmember Fawaz made a motion to adopt Resolution 2026-007 with attached pay scale that was already adopted. Councilmember Eastlick seconded.
Councilmember Stacher stated that he is abstaining because he missed most of all the meetings that discussed changing a part-time detective to a full-time lieutenant.
Mayor Munson clarified that the two titles are interchangeable. More discussion.
Councilmember Fawaz requested additional clarification about whether Mendes is part-time or full-time. Fawaz recommended that the Chief of Police make sure that all future hires fit within his budget. More discussion about the resolution not addressing part-time or full-time hours.
