Summary

The council concurred with Police Chief Simaglia to hire one probationary officer from the lateral eligibility pool following a patrol officer resignation.

The Berwyn City Council voted to concur with Police Chief Simaglia and authorize the Fire and Police Commission to hire one probationary police officer from the lateral eligibility pool after a patrol officer resigned.

Alderman Adesina moved to approve the request and Alderman Palaszek seconded; the motion passed by voice vote with the ayes prevailing. The item cited the lateral eligibility pool as the hiring source and named the action as a response to the resignation of Patrol Officer Nicole Semaglia (as stated in the council communication).

Chief Simaglia had asked the council to contact the Fire and Police Commission to proceed with the hire. The council did not discuss staffing numbers beyond the single replacement and took no additional personnel actions during the meeting.

The approval was taken as part of the council's J-series communications on personnel and will proceed through the Fire and Police Commission process for appointment.
