Moraine commission certifies 27-name firefighter entry list
Summary
The Moraine Merit System Commission approved certification of a 27-name full-time firefighter entry-level list and flagged candidates who are paramedics; the move was approved by vote during the meeting.
The Moraine Merit System Commission voted to certify a full-time firefighter entry-level candidate list that contains 27 names. Speaker 4 presented the list and noted candidates who are paramedics were highlighted because that qualification reduces the city—s training costs.
The commission formally certified the list after Speaker 4 moved to approve it and Speaker 3 seconded the motion. Speaker 1 announced there were no objections to the minutes earlier in the meeting; the certification motion was then put to a vote and approved.
Commissioners did not debate specific rankings during the public portion of the meeting. Staff said the paramedic designation lowers onboarding costs by avoiding some city-funded training; no dollar figures for expected savings were given at the meeting.
The commission did not set a specific hire date for any candidate; staff will proceed with next steps in the hiring process consistent with existing civil service procedures and return to the commission if additional formal action is required.
