Council considered and approved personnel actions affecting the East Canton Police Department.
By Resolution R2-2405, the council accepted Derica Andre's resignation as a full-time police officer and authorized continued employment as a part-time officer effective March 24, 2024, at an hourly rate of $15.30. The resolution was read into the record and seconded for consideration.
Council also took up Ordinance 2024-25 to appoint Andrea Mixon as a part-time police officer effective April 7, 2024, at $15 per hour with a one-year probationary period. The council moved to suspend the rules and advanced the ordinance to third reading by title only before final approval.
Members discussed department staffing and funding. Council noted the recently passed levy will bring in about $200,000 while the department costs roughly $400,000 to operate; some operating costs are covered by transfers from the general fund and by grants such as a recent body-camera grant.
No detailed vote tallies by member were recorded in the transcript; the meeting record shows motions, seconds and roll-call affirmations for the personnel items.
