Summary

After a closed executive session, the Chewelah Civil Service Commission unanimously advanced a newly received police chief applicant to the written testing phase and set the recruitment process to continue with testing and further evaluation.

The Chewelah Civil Service Commission unanimously voted to advance a newly received police chief applicant to the written testing process following a 27-minute executive session on applicants' qualifications.

Secretary Charles Martin told commissioners that a prior candidate had stopped communicating and that ``one new application had been received.'' Commissioner Carra Nupp moved to advance the new applicant to written testing; Commissioner Jim Earle seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

The executive session was held under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g); the minutes record that it began at 3:09 p.m. and ended at 3:36 p.m. The action sends the candidate to the next formal screening step, the written test, rather than ending recruitment.

Next steps noted by the commission include administering the written examination and continuing background and vetting procedures before any appointment is made.
