Chief examiner reports busy promotional testing schedule and upcoming supported employment event
Summary
The chief examiner told commissioners the office is preparing promotional tests for fire captain (March), police lieutenant (May) and police sergeant (August), reminded commissioners about an April supported employment event at The Hive, and said the 2024 annual report is expected next month.
The chief examiner updated the Spokane Civil Service Commission on promotional testing and upcoming outreach events, saying staff are in the midst of their busiest period for assessment-center promotional testing.
She said the office is recruiting for a fire captain promotional test scheduled for March, is working on a police lieutenant test planned for May and is preparing a police sergeant test planned for August. The chief examiner added that the office is continuing work on the 2024 annual report and hopes to have it ready for commissioners next month.
She also reminded commissioners about a supported employment event scheduled for April at The Hive and noted that Paxton Powell would present a marketing plan later in the agenda with further information about outreach for that event. The chief examiner closed with a staff acknowledgment: "it's only February and it feels like July — we're really really busy and thanks for all your hard work y'all." No formal action was taken on these updates.
A commissioner briefly responded to the workload comment during the update, observing they "wish it were July" in reference to the warm-weather calendar and winter conditions. The chief examiner invited questions and confirmed staff availability to schedule commissioner attendance at the supported employment event.
