Today, Interim City Manager Morgan Smith makes the following statement:
“Police Chief Jon Fehlman has decided to resign from the City effective Saturday, September 15. The terms of a separation agreement will be presented to the City Council tomorrow night. The City wishes Jon the best in his future endeavors and thanks him for his service to the City.
“As we look ahead, I think it will be important to understand the full range of issues and challenges impacting our police department. For that reason, I will be asking the City Council to resume their consideration of a police management study in order to conduct a comprehensive review of the department, and to develop specific recommendations for the city to implement. I think the results of this study are needed to inform our search for a new police chief, and to continue our work to improve the department. Following Jon’s resignation, Larry Dickerson will remain in his current role as Interim Public Safety Director, and will continue to provide day-to-day management for the department.”
