Belleville police force to hire new officer: Belleville City Council members Monday night approved the hiring of a new police officer to replace an officer who retired several months ago.
Police Chief Gene Taylor said the department is currently down approximately three officers, with a current officer having to take a 30-day leave for personal reasons.
Candidates for the position have been screened and interviewed by the Civil Service Commission and they have presented a recommendation to Taylor.
Taylor added that since the department has been short, overtime costs have increased greatly and that hiring the new officer would represent a cost savings in that area.
Budget meeting and special meeting set for Monday: The first of several budget meetings for the city of Belleville is set for 5:30 p.m. May 12 at City Hall with a special meeting set at 7:30 p.m., where Council members will be discussing the city manager issue.
During Monday night's meeting, city officials rejected a contract from the Michigan Municipal League to act as headhunters and aid in the city's search for a city manager. However, they did agree to invite MML representatives to the special meeting in order to answer some questions and clear up confusion relating to the contract and costs associated.
