Civil Service Commission postpones CAWH rules review; testing set for fire department vacancy on Nov. 12–13
Summary
At its Nov. 3, 2025 meeting, the Civil Service Commission approved by consensus a motion to excuse Commissioner Hank Bynaker, scheduled testing for a fire department vacancy on Nov. 12 and interviews on Nov. 13, and postponed review of the CAWH Civil Service Rules until the January regular meeting to allow further review.
The Civil Service Commission met Nov. 3, 2025 at the CAWH City Office Building and approved by consensus a motion to excuse Commissioner Hank Bynaker before addressing personnel and rule-review items.
The commission’s Civil Service Department reported testing for a fire department vacancy is scheduled for Nov. 12, 2025, with candidate interviews scheduled for Nov. 13, 2025. The department presented the dates as part of routine personnel administration; no further details about the number of positions, applicants, or selection criteria were provided in the record.
Under old business, Commissioner Jennifer Morton moved to postpone the commission’s review of the “CAWH Civil Service Rules” until the January regular meeting so Commissioner Hank Bynaker would have time to review and comment. That motion was approved by consensus. The transcript lists the rules review postponement but does not record a formal roll-call vote or an amended text of the rules.
There were no public comments, no items under new business, and no executive session or hearings recorded. The commission adjourned at 1:25 PM and scheduled its next regular meeting for Dec. 1, 2025 at 1:00 PM at the CAWH City Office Building.
What the record shows: testing and interview dates for the fire department vacancy are set (Nov. 12–13); the planned review of CAWH Civil Service Rules has been deferred to the January meeting to allow additional review time by an excused commissioner. Details not specified in the transcript include the number of openings for the fire vacancy, the mover of the excusal motion for Commissioner Bynaker, and the exact January meeting date when the rules review will resume.
