Updates
Fire Recruit—the budget process for FY06 has been completed, so the Human Resources Department and Fire
Rescue will be developing a time line for advertising and testing. There aren't any changes in the testing
process. The candidates will take a written test, the top sixty score will be invited to take a physical ability test
and those who pass the physical ability test will be interviewed by a panel of at least five. Taking 50% of the
written score and adding it to 50% of the interview, then adding any veterans or City points, will determine the
list. This will be a two-year list. Human Resources and Fire Rescue are working hard to attract females and
minorities including purchasing billboards at a few locations in the metropolitan area.
NEW BUSINESS
The job description and testing criteria for Laboratory Services Foreman - Waste Management Services was
presented for approval. There is a vacancy due to a retirement. This position was formerly the
Pretreatment/Laboratory Services Coordinator position that was a non-bargaining staff position. It has been
changed to a bargaining position that combines the duties of the Laboratory Technician II and the previous
position creating the new classification. This gives the City more flexibility because the position will be able to
assist in the lab, if needed. The position will be posted as a promotional. Moved by Blitsch, seconded by Luce
to approve the job description and testing criteria for Laboratory Services Foreman — Waste Management
Services. Motion carried.
With no further business before the Commission, moved by Blitsch, seconded by Luce to adjourn. Motion carried.
