KingmanThe CityPublic Safety Personnel Retirement System board for the city's fire department approved the hire of firefighter Gustavo Alvarez and agreed that staff will schedule quarterly reviews of medical and preexisting-condition evaluation forms at its July 31, 2025, meeting. Chairperson Watkins presided; a quorum was present.

The action matters because the PSPRS process requires review of new hiresand of medical or preexisting-condition evaluations that can affect membership and disability considerations. The board approved procedural items and set a recurring schedule for reviewing those forms so members know when reviews will occur.

The board first approved meeting minutes from July 9, 2024, by motion and voice vote. "I'll move to approve the meeting minutes," the presiding officer said; a second followed and the motion carried. The board then took up new hires under agenda item 2.a.

"This, fireman does not have any preexisting conditions. Mister Gustavo Alvarez was hired back on 05/13/2024," Chairperson Watkins said during the personnel item. A motion was made and seconded to approve Alvarez's hire under the PSPRS process; the board voted by voice and the motion carried.

During the meeting the board opened a call-to-the-public period and recorded that no members of the public registered to speak. The clerk reviewed the process for remote comment, providing the contact and deadline for submissions: commenters should contact Annie Meredith at ameredith@cityofkingman.gov by 5 p.m. on 07/31/2025 if they wished to attend in person, submit written comments, or register to call in.

Annie Meredith, the clerk, told members she receives PSPRS notifications when there are new hires and the accompanying medical/preexisting evaluation forms. "I will go ahead and get it on everybody's calendar just so that we have it on our schedules and we know ahead of time," Meredith said, adding that she will notify the board in advance if there is nothing to review for a scheduled meeting.

The meeting was brief, with roll call confirming attendance by Chairperson Watkins and board members Gilbert, Nelson, Shearer and Woolsey. With no further business, the board adjourned.

The board's formal actions at this meeting were limited to approving minutes and confirming the reported hire; staff committed to placing quarterly medical-evaluation review meetings on members' calendars and to notify the board if a scheduled meeting has no items for review.
