Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Ron Price, Police Chief
Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Resolution Number 4528, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA,
CONFIRMING THE APPOINTMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH MONTANA CODE ANNOTATED 7-32-4108 AND 7-32-4113.
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. Attachments: Resolution 4528 Report Compiled on: April 25, 2014
