Loading...
Summary
The Pharr Civil Service Commission voted Oct. 28 to approve raw and final scores and accept eligibility lists from recent civil service exams, clearing the way to fill multiple police and fire department positions.
The Pharr Civil Service Commission on Oct. 28 approved raw and final scores and accepted eligibility lists for several civil service exams, including the Oct. 3 entry-level police officer exam and the Oct. 8 promotional exams for battalion chief, lieutenant and engineer in the fire department.
Vice Chairperson Mario Liscano moved to approve each set of scores and eligibility lists; Board member Vittorio Puente seconded. Chairperson Dolores Rodriguez called for a voice vote and each motion carried by voice vote.
The approvals covered: the entry-level police officer eligibility list created from the Oct. 3, 2025 exam; promotional eligibility lists for battalion chief, lieutenant and engineer drawn from the Oct. 8, 2025 promotional exams. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; the record reflects voice votes and that the motions carried.
Commission members did not debate the merits of the scoring at length during the meeting. The approvals allow city departments to proceed with certification from those lists for hiring and promotion steps under the civil service rules.
The commission moved through the remaining agenda items and adjourned the meeting at 9:15 a.m.
