the City of Canton administration, and;
WHEREAS,the Legal and Ordinance Committee has reviewed the proposed amendment

1. That Title 6 (Police Regulation) Chapter 1 (Police Department; Administration)
Section 1 (Department Established) of the Canton Municipal Code shall be amended
as follow:
5-1-1: DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHED: There is hereby established an executive
department of the municipal government of the city which shall be known as the police
department, and may consist of up to the police chief, four (4) lieutenants, four (4)
sergeants, and fifteen (15) patrolmen, up to seven (7) telecommunicators, one (1)
noncommissioned code enforcement officer, one (1) executive secretary, and one (1)
department secretary. When any officer of the police department, who occupies the
position of lieutenant, sergeant, or patrolman, becomes inactive such that it appears that a
full time appointment will be necessary so as to fill an ongoing vacancy and/or an
anticipated requirement, then the police and fire commission may, at its discretion,
appoint an officer in a full time capacity to fill such vacancy. The telecommunicators,
executive secretary, department secretary, and the noncommissioned code enforcement
officer based upon the recommendation of the police chief, shall be appointed by the
mayor with the approval of the city council. Part time noncommissioned personnel may
be used on an "as needed" basis to work as radio operators, but only to the extent that the
full time commissioned officers are inadequate to meet such needs.
