Police merit commission presents eligibility list certification; no action required
Summary
City Attorney Lynn Gray told the Franklin Board of Works the police merit commission certified an eligibility list as required by state statute; no board action was required, only that the certification be entered into the record.
City Attorney Lynn Gray told the Franklin City Board of Works that the police merit commission had certified an eligibility list for police applicants and submitted the certification to the board, as required by state statute.
"The statute requires that they maintain this list, and they must then certify it to the board of works, on an annual basis. It requires no action on your part, but they do, need to certify it and this is the certification," Gray said.
Gray and the mayor confirmed the item was presented to the record and no board vote was necessary. Staff said the certification will remain part of the meeting record without further action.
Why it matters: certification of eligibility lists supports the hiring process for any vacancies in the police department; the presentation satisfies the annual statutory requirement cited by the city attorney.
