I've had a number of people in the community approach me wondering why we don't forgo the hiring process and name Mark (Petersen) chief. |
This will give us enough time for the information to be read in the paper, for people to respond to it, and to consult with the city attorney. |
When we hire someone from outside of the community, even though you attempt to do all of the screening, you are still dealing with an unknown. With Mark, we already have a known quantity and quality. We know his abilities and capabilities. |
