Police and Fire Commission extends Fire Department battalion chief eligibility list six months
Summary
At its Oct. 2 meeting the Police and Fire Commission voted to extend the Fire Department’s battalion chief eligibility list for six months to allow scheduling of future testing and better align with operational needs; the current list was set to expire this month.
The Police and Fire Commission voted Oct. 2 to extend the Fire Department’s battalion chief eligibility list for six months, citing the need to align testing and staffing with operational planning.
The extension was requested by a Fire Department representative to allow the department time to plan testing next year and to better match the department’s operational needs; the commission approved the request without objection.
Commission Chair (name not specified) opened consideration of agenda item F-3, saying the item was "consideration of possible action on the request to extend the Fire Department Battalion Chief eligibility list for 6 months." A Fire Department representative told the commission the request would "allow us to better align with our operational needs. We anticipate no retirements at this point, but it allows us to plan for and facilitate testing next year. Current list is set to expire this month." The chair then asked for a motion to grant the request.
Commissioner Dorff moved to grant the request; Commissioner Buenavent seconded. The commission recorded “Aye” votes with no recorded opposition or abstentions and the chair declared the motion approved.
The extension pauses expiration of the eligibility list for six months; the commission did not set further conditions during the meeting, and no specific testing dates were announced.
