MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Watford & City Council DATE: April 12, 2021
FROM: City Clerk/Personnel Administrator
Gamiotea �� �� �y��-�`'
SUBJECT: Police Chief position-
Peterson's retirement &
discuss replacement
Item #1, Accept Retirement:
Chief Peterson entered the Deferred Retirement Option Plan effective September 1, 2016, which was
approved by the Police Officers Pension Board of Trustees'. His retirement date is effective August
31, 2021. The City Council may accept his official notice of retirement by motion.
Item #2, filling the Chief of Police position:
Each time a department head position has become vacant, the City Council has handled the situation
on a case-by-case basis. Attached is a three-page summary of research with previous actions taken
when filling the Police and Fire Chief positions for your information.
During the most recent occurrence, the City Council provided the following instructions to all
Department Heads (last paragraph from December 12, 2016 minutes): "The Mayor and City Council
made it clear during Mr. Peterson's interview and during their deliberations that Departments need to
be certain when they promote an assistant (or second in command), to be certain that individual is
being groomed to one day be promoted to their position. Should an employee not be able to handle
the position, they need to be removed, and not be permitted to continue in that authority. The City
Council prefers to promote from within whenever possible and they wish to see employees being
groomed accordingly sa that they can meet the minimum qualification when the vacancies arise."
Chief Peterson will be providing additional information and his recommendation. Your consideration
and/or direction on this issue is greatly appreciated. Should you need any additional information on
this subject please contact me prior to the meeting day. Thank you.
