Vice - Chairperson Ron Johnston Police Department - Mike Villa, Chief 1T1 14 M r� : _ ► 1 FI Civil Service Commission FROM: Mike Villa, Chief of Police 1;?,,,�_,�< DATE: March 2, 2017 SUBJECT: Provisional Commander Extension — Todd Rossi Allan Ekberg, Mayor Sergeant Todd Rossi was appointed on March 16, 2016 as a Provisional Commander of the Professional Standards Division. His initial six -month appointment expired on September 15, 2016. He was granted a 6 -month extension with a provisional appointment through March 15, 2017. He's still currently overseeing the Professional Standards Division. The appointment is necessary for operational purposes due to one of our commanders„ Rick Mitchell, being selected as a provisional Deputy Chief. Provisional Deputy Chief Mitchell has been managing the police department operations, community outreach, PIO functions, professional standards and other managerial responsibilities. The Deputy Chief position was held by Bruce Linton, who was asked to coordinate an interdepartmental team to address facilities needs. Although Deputy Chief Linton's position is no longer the City public safety bond program manager, he will retain a significant workload with the facilities plan implementation for the next three years. He will continue to spend approximately 50 "/o of his time coordinating with consultants, architects, City staff and other stakeholders as we progress towards building and occupying a new justice center. With that said, I need to keep the above - mentioned staff members in their current positions. I am asking the Commission to extend Sergeant Todd Rossi's provisional appointment for 6- months effective March 16, 2017 through September 15, 2017, unless terminated earlier based on department needs. Currently, there's no Commander's list and a test has not yet been scheduled. The extension is primarily for continuity of operations and maintaining the current command staff enhances the stability of the department overall. Thank you for your consideration!
