Police Chief Kurt Wahlen is negotiating a new contract with the city, according to sources.
Wahlen was hired in September 2006. His current contract runs out later this summer. Sources say Wahlen is close to reaching a new four-year deal to continue leading the city's police department.
The Police and Fire Commission, which is responsible for oversight of the chief and the department, discussed Wahlen's contract at its April 20 meeting. (Minutes of the meeting are not posted on the city's website.)
The commission is scheduled to next meet on July 13. No agenda has been released for the meeting.
