Title
Discuss and consider the confirmation of the City Manager’s appointment of the Interim Police Chief of the New Braunfels Police Department.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The position of police chief became vacant due to the retirement of Tom Wibert. The city manager needs to appoint an interim police chief to lead the department while an inclusive and competitive selection process can be completed. In making a selection for interim police chief, the city manager has conducted interviews with multiple candidates provided by Strategic Government Resources, a recruitment firm. Civil service statutes and the City Charter both authorize the city manager to appoint the police chief. State law requires the appointment be confirmed by the City Council. Once confirmed, the interim police chief will have to be sworn into office.
