Civil Service Commission approves minutes, notes job-spec approvals and exam schedule

The Municipal Civil Service Commission met Dec. 17, 2025, in the Council Conference Room and approved the minutes of its Nov. 19 meeting. An unidentified speaker moved to "accept the minutes as written," a second was recorded and the motion carried; the transcript does not give a roll-call vote tally.

The commission recorded that two job specifications had been approved previously via email: the Board of Education's theater director specification (approved 11/20/2025) and the City of New Rochelle's accounting supervisor specification, which had minor adjustments and was approved 12/10/2025. Those approvals were reported by a staff speaker as having been completed by email rather than taken as motions at the Dec. 17 session.

On eligibility lists, staff reported there were no new eligible lists to establish and none to extend or terminate after a review of records. The speaker noted a small number of tests administered after October are still awaiting results. Regarding exams, the commission was told there are no exams scheduled for January and that the following exams will take place in February.

Unidentified speakers set the commission's next meeting for Jan. 21 (the transcript lists the year as "2025" for that date, an apparent typographical error given the meeting occurred Dec. 17, 2025); the commission was told the next meeting will begin at 3:30 p.m. and that staff will bring a schedule for the rest of the year. The meeting was adjourned at 3:37 p.m.

Action items recorded during the session were limited to approving the previous meeting minutes and adjourning; formal vote tallies and named vote records are not specified in the transcript.
