offer for the City of Big Lake. No definitive date as to when he will be leaving. Stephen Jerde started
last week and is going very well. We have another candidate that passed all backgrounds and expect him
to start on the 23 of March. With Henry leaving, he is one of our FTO’s and if and when he leaves, |
will be the only one that will be able to train the new officers in. Tammy and I have talked about the
possibility of getting some help from Mille Lacs County during the FTO process. The one starting on the
