Board extends conditional public-safety offer to Jaylen Stucker

The Board of Public Works voted April 13 to extend a conditional offer of employment to Jaylen Stucker for a public-safety position.

Police Chief Stout told the board he had interviewed Stucker and recommended a conditional offer, noting Stucker is 25 and a Western High School graduate. “He interviewed very well with the officers and I think the interview this morning went very well,” Chief Stout said, asking the board to approve the conditional offer and the medical clearance procedures needed for hire.

A board member moved to provide the offer and another seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. The board authorized staff to contact Stucker and proceed with the required public-safety medical steps before final hiring paperwork.

No additional employment conditions, background check specifics or final start date were provided at the meeting; the motion covered only the conditional offer and medical clearance step. The item will return for any further administrative completion as required by the hiring process.
