Summary

Board voted to remove five candidates from the fire final eligibility list for nonresponse or lack of qualification and separately removed two candidates who requested removal after accepting other jobs.

The board addressed the fire-department eligibility list and approved motions to remove multiple candidates. A staff speaker (S3) listed removals by number and name, saying, "We're removing them from the list based on they were either not qualified, did not get back to us or what have you." The specific candidates named for removal included 16 (Natalie Yonker), 17 (Kyle Juran), 5 (Nicholas Manthi), 8 (William Sweetman) and 10 (Sophie Darden); the board approved the motion by voice vote.

S3 also reported that candidates 7 (Derek Ball) and 12 (Justin Jenens) had asked to be removed from the list because they had taken other employment; the board approved that request as well. These actions were presented as eligibility-list maintenance; the transcript records motions, seconds and 'Aye' voice votes but does not include individual roll-call tallies for each vote.
