Unknown 16:24

Yes, we do have a staff report. So we are requesting to abolish the associate engineer civil classification. Um, this classification is used in both the Department of Public Works and Water and Sewer Utilities. There is a current eligible list that um is existing. We ran a recruitment earlier this year to fill. Um two positions initially, one in public works and one in the water and sewer department. Both of those positions were filled. Subsequently, we did have three additional vacancies that did come up during the life of the eligible list. Candidates have been invited by both departments to interview for those positions. We did have a couple instances where candidates were invited, but they either declined the interview.

Unknown 17:04

In one instance, a candidate was offered the Position but declined because they received another promotional opportunity. So that does further dwindle down the list. Um, we currently have five candidates remaining on the eligible list. Per the civil service rules, if there are five or more names, we do need to bring it forward to the commission to request to abolish the list if we would like to begin a new recruitment. Um, as the current eligible list does not expire until April 2026. For the five candidates that are remaining. They were invited to interview by both departments. One candidate, only one candidate expressed interest in the water and sewer utilities department.

How did the commission handle approval of the September 11 meeting minutes?

Unknown 17:39

The other candidates declined interviewing for that position. So the water and sewer utilities department did not end up making a selection for from this list.
