Stow City Civil Service Commission certifies police lieutenant promotional list after three candidates tested

The Stow City Civil Service Commission on Dec. 17 certified the promotional list for the police lieutenant position after confirming that three eligible candidates had taken the qualifying exam.

The commission’s chair (name not provided in the transcript) opened the meeting and asked for approval of the minutes, which was approved by voice assent. The chair then welcomed Chief Krusak and introduced the promotional-exam certification, saying the purpose of the meeting was to "get that all certified" and noting the certification would support filling the chief's former position.

Commission members clarified whether testing had already occurred and the chair confirmed that the testing was complete. "So all all 3 that were eligible to take it took it," the chair said. The chair moved to accept and certify the list; the motion was seconded and the commission voted to certify the list. Miss Campbell recorded a "Yes" vote, Mister Spring indicated assent, and a speaker recorded in the transcript as "Mister Edward" voted "Yes." The commission certified the promotional list.

The meeting also handled routine business: the commission approved the minutes from its prior meeting and then the chair closed the session after announcing a gavel handoff to Lindsay for the coming year and offering holiday greetings. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded and the meeting ended.

Actions and next steps recorded in the transcript were procedural certification of the promotional-exam list; the transcript does not record further implementation steps, effective dates for any appointment, or details about how vacancies will be filled beyond certifying the list. The transcript likewise does not provide surnames or additional identifying details for some members whose responses were recorded; the commission’s administrative office can be contacted for the official certified list and recorded roll-call minutes.
