The City of Ottawa Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ Feb. 11 minutes show the board rescinded a conditional offer of employment to firefighter candidate Daniel Robey after he did not pass a medical examination.
According to the minutes, two of the three new firefighter hires — Lauren Bangert and Kenneth Harris — passed their medical exams. To fill the third slot, the board advanced another candidate from the eligibility list, Jackson Novak. Novak is scheduled to take a Stanard & Associates psychological examination on Feb. 12, 2026; a medical examination was noted as forthcoming. The minutes state Novak is currently enrolled in paramedic courses and is expected to attend the academy later this year.
No formal motion or vote is recorded in the minutes for the rescission or the advancement of the replacement candidate; these personnel updates are recorded under Old Business (Fire). The minutes do not provide medical or psychological results beyond the dates and the note that a prior conditional offer was rescinded for failing the medical exam.
The eligibility register attached to the minutes lists adoption and expiration dates for various patrol and firefighter registers.
