Summary
The Board of Civil Service Trustees on May 28, 2025, voted to approve final minutes from its May 14 meeting, certify multiple eligible lists for firefighter and other city positions, abolish two fire apparatus mechanic eligible lists and place Stephen Talby on the city's rehire list for Fire Prevention Inspection Supervisor.
The Board of Civil Service Trustees on May 28, 2025, voted to approve final minutes from its May 14 meeting, certify multiple eligible lists for firefighter and other city positions, abolish two fire apparatus mechanic eligible lists and place Stephen Talby on the city's rehire list for Fire Prevention Inspection Supervisor.
The actions came during a regularly scheduled meeting where the board confirmed it had a quorum and compliance with the open meeting law before proceeding through consent and personnel items. Nicole Garcia, chief deputy city attorney, told the board that staff requested pulling one classification-specifications item and recommended a motion to strike it; Garcia said, "I've been informed by staff that they would like to pull this item, and so I would recommend a motion to strike." She then moved to strike item 6, and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The votes formalize the pool of eligible candidates for several classified positions and update the rehire list for a supervisory position in fire prevention; these personnel-list actions guide hiring and promotional decisions for city departments.
The board approved the minutes of the May 14, 2025, meeting after a motion by Member Stamper. Member Hatch moved to certify eligible lists identified on the agenda, which the board approved by voice vote. Item 6, a set of proposed classification specifications for firefighter, firefighter paramedic and firefighter trainee, was pulled at staff request; Garcia moved to strike the item and the board voted to remove it from the agenda. The board also voted to abolish eligible lists for Fire Apparatus Mechanic 1 and Fire Apparatus Mechanic 3 and approved a request to place Stephen Talby on the rehire list for Fire Prevention Inspection Supervisor following a motion by Member Stamper.
All recorded motions on the agenda were adopted by voice vote during the meeting. Public comment periods for agenda items and general citizens' participation drew no speakers.
The board adjourned after completing the listed personnel and administrative actions.
