Summary

The board approved removing a large set of police candidates from the amended final eligibility list for reasons including no callbacks and background issues; the chief noted a conditional offer to Carson Kucera was refused and recorded as a 'pass' at the candidate's request.

Chair (S1) introduced police-department items and the chief of police (S4) summarized reasons for removals, citing no callbacks and background-related findings. The board approved a motion to remove candidates 8, 9, 10, 11, 18, 20, 22, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 from the police officer amended final eligibility list by voice vote.

S4 also recorded that the board had extended a conditional offer to Carson Kucera; S4 said the candidate later refused the conditional offer because he had been given other employment and therefore requested a 'pass.'

The board recorded that pass and approved related motions by voice vote. Individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
