Council adds Officer Michael Stewart to termination list and approves personnel determinations

The police chief asked the council to add Officer Michael Stewart to the personnel termination list. Councilman Wells (motion recorded by Chair S1) moved to add Stewart and the council took a roll-call vote to include him on the list.

Later, the council considered termination determinations for multiple officers named by the chief (including Jermaine Stewart and Rivianne Gamble) and voted on the motion. Roll-call votes show the motion passed with one abstention by Watson (recorded in the transcript). The council indicated follow-up would be handled offline to confirm details of personnel actions.

Why it matters: Personnel actions affecting police officers carry operational and community consequences; the council recorded votes and an abstention on the determinations.
