In addition, Chief Bacon asked the board’s permission to extend a conditional offer of employment to Jared Arnold after Nicholas Kindig’s resignation. The board unanimously approved the request, along with Chief Bacon’s recommendation for promotions.
“I’d like to promote Tim Taberski and Ray West to sergeant and Bob DeLee and Ryan Richey to corporal. I’d like that effective March 1st and those positions to carry a six month probationary period.”
