Summary
The Commission approved its amended agenda and prior minutes, accepted a candidate list of eight hires, approved moving regular meetings to 5 p.m., and adjourned; all motions carried unanimously (3-0) at the May 14 meeting.
At its May 14, 2025 meeting the Hobart Civil Service Fire Commission recorded and approved several procedural motions.
Approved motions and outcomes
- Approval of the agenda as amended (motion by Commissioner St. Myers; second by Commissioner Mosqueda). Outcome: approved (3-0).
- Approval of prior meeting minutes as amended (motion by Commissioner Mosqueda; second by Commissioner St. Myers). Outcome: approved (3-0). The minutes record lists the prior minutes date as April 9, 2026; that date appears inconsistent with the May 14, 2025 meeting date and is noted here as listed in the minutes.
- Acceptance of candidate list (motion by Commissioner St. Myers; second by Commissioner Mosqueda). Commissioner Pouch reported eight candidates completed all hiring phases. Outcome: approved (3-0). Chief Lopez asked whether lateral candidates must wait to be sworn in until higher-ranked non-lateral candidates; Commissioner St. Myers clarified offers follow ranking but start dates may be as soon as a candidate is cleared to swear in.
- Change of regular meeting time to 5 p.m. (motion by Commissioner St. Myers; second by Commissioner Mosqueda). Outcome: approved (3-0). The record notes this change follows an earlier change from 6 p.m. to 4 p.m., which had reduced attendance for at least one commissioner.
- Adjournment (motion by Commissioner St. Myers; second by Commissioner Mosqueda). Outcome: approved (3-0); meeting adjourned at 4:19 p.m.
What’s next: The commission recorded these actions for its minutes; substantive follow-up items include monitoring St. Mary’s EMS Academy capacity and tracking assessment-vendor developments.
