Bible.

1:24

Yes, I would.

1:28

2:06

Mr.

Markwell.

2:08

So for the board's consideration today, I have nine eligibility lists.

2:12

Uh five of them open competitive, consisting of police recruit for April, corrections recruit for April, 911 professional for April, Fusion Watch Specialist 1, and Helicopter Mechanic, and four promotionals consisting of administrative assistant, uh, less supervisor for DSD Records Bureau, Senior Less for DSD Records Bureau, and Senior Less Admin Las Vegas.

2:33

The only thing that I uh have to add here is that uh the stats for corrections recruit, uh, that uh there is an error on there uh about how many local uh people did apply for that.

2:46

Uh the it should read as 151 uh locals applied for that.

2:51

Uh other than that, then I am available for any questions that you have.

2:55

Any questions?

2:57

Um comments or motion motion to approve the consent agenda.

3:04

Second motion by Mr.

3:06

Smith, second by Mr.

3:07

Lefowitz.

3:08

Cash your vote, please.

3:16

Motion carries.

3:18

Section three approval of an update to digital content specialists, evidence vote supervisor, and IT technical supervisor classification specifics.

3:35

So for these three class specifications that uh all three of these used to be appointed, uh class bus uh classifications, and uh we did a an analysis to identify positions that are appointed that should uh be civil service and covered under uh not just the civil service rules but also the uh PPA's collective bargaining uh agreement.

3:58

And these three were identified uh in that analysis as the uh first ones that we are going to be looking at.

4:04

So uh what we're doing with these is submitting them for the uh approval of the civil service board uh for them to be covered under civil service uh rather than be appointed.

4:14

So the uh changes to those class specs are really housekeeping items uh to change them from uh the appointed language to civil service uh so that the uh minimum qualifications are now qualifications rather than just recommendations, uh, and that the language uh says that it doesn't serve at the the pleasure of the sheriff anymore uh and just various other small ones.

4:37

So with those that if you have questions about those, I'm happy to uh answer those questions or comments motion.

4:46

I would move that we approve the lists as submitted I'll second that move by Mr.

4:53

Leftowitz, second by Miss Bybal.
