Chief of Police to appoint members to serve on the reserve force. Section 341.012(g) requires the governing body to approve the appointment.
Section 341.012(h) allows the Chief of Police to limit the authority of the person to carry a duty weapon or act as peace officer to only those times
when the person is engaged in the actual discharge of official duties as a reserve officer.
The following individual has satisfied the qualifications and standards of training and education established by the City, under Section 341.012(b)

regular police officers.
The Chief of Police recommends that the Mayor and City Council approve this Mayor and Council Communication, and thereby, approve the Chief
of Police's appointment of this individual to the police reserve force.
