9. Staff Presentations
Chief Thomalla addressed the Commission on the status of a current acting sergeant position as
it pertains to Section 16 of the Police Civil Service Commission Bylaws regarding temporary
acting positions. He stated that in this case he believes it does not apply to the current situation
with the acting sergeant as this is not a temporary appointment as defined by the Bylaws. The
acting sergeant is replacing another sergeant who has been on medical leave/workers comp
situation. If this sergeant is not able to return his full duties as a sergeant, we would go through
another testing process for sergeant to refill the position.
