Council receives certified list for police chief candidates, motion passes 7–0
Summary
The council received and made a matter of record the Civil Service Commission’s certified list of candidates for police chief so interview teams can begin; the motion passed on a 7–0 roll‑call vote.
The Dubuque City Council voted unanimously on April 16 to receive and file the Civil Service Commission’s certified list of candidates for chief of police and to make it a matter of record. Councilmember Sprank moved to "receive and file" and "make this a matter of record," the motion was seconded, and the roll‑call vote passed 7–0.
Staff told the council the list was certified by the Civil Service Commission the previous Tuesday and that the timing aimed to keep the hiring process moving so verbal and written materials could be shared with interview teams and internal interview schedules could begin the following week. No additional action or appointment was made at the April 16 meeting; the certified list enables staff and interview teams to proceed with candidate evaluation and potential external searches if necessary.
