MEETING DATE: May 19, 2014 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution Number 4528. BACKGROUND: Section 7-32-4108, Montana Code Annotated, provides that all appointments to the “police force” must be confirmed by the city council or commission. Section 7-32-4113, Montana Code Annotated, requires that in order to be submitted to the City Commission for confirmation, every applicant will have passed an examination and received a certificate from the police commission noting that the applicant has qualified for appointment. Additionally, the applicant must successfully complete a probationary period before being submitted to the City Commission for confirmation as a member of the “police force.” A historical search has been conducted and no record has been found showing that this process has been followed in the City of Bozeman for any current Bozeman Police Department employees. The City Attorney has recommended that a commission resolution would be the best method to achieve compliance. As such, Resolution Number 4528 was written to confirm the appointment of all existing officers, retroactively effective to the date the employee completed his or her probationary period with the City of Bozeman. All future employees will be confirmed through separate resolution upon successful completion of the probationary period. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS: None.
