Oglesby was supposed to recommend to the Fire and Police Board that two police officers should be hired at Monday’s meeting.
But they only ended up recommending one.
Mayor Dominic Rivara explained how the second officer was supposed to work full time at Illinois Valley Community College.
Commissioner Thomas Argubright wanted to see the inter-governmental agreement between the city and college before hiring a full time officer.
Commissioner Jason Curran says the college is working on an agreement with the city on paying the difference between the wages and benefits packages.
