OTHER BUSINESS. -
Commissioner vacancy status
o Secretary Pro-Tem updated the Commission that there was a final candidate chosen for
the vacant Commissioner position, but they withdrew. The volunteer position is now
reposted for consideration of new applicants.
Chief Roske addressed the Commission on the matter on Rule #10.06
o The Chief requested that the Commission revisit their conversation from last month on the
topic of the interpretation of vacancy under Rule #10.06. The Chief's main concernbeing
that the department has not been able to hire very many candidates but have 10 vacancies
in the department. After discussion related to this matter and the process that the Police
Department uses for processing candidates, the Commission will allow for the Police
Department to receive the top 15 candidates for background as of now, but with the
understanding that we will revisit the topic in 3 months. The Commission tasked the
Secretary Pro-Tem with reviewing other Civil Service Rules to suggest possible language
for this rule that might be more in line with allowing for the Chief to review the top 5
candidates of each eligible list of candidates, plus 1 additional eligible name for each
vacancy. With the Police Department currently having 10 openings, this would provide
them with the top 15 candidates on the eligible list.
ADJOURNMENT: There was no other business to come before the Commission. The meeting was
adjourned at 5:53pm. The next scheduled meeting is Monday, September 18, 2023, at 5:15 pm.
