Let me stop you.

Here we go.

All right.

The regular civil service commission meeting for February 23rd is called to order.

Caitlin, can you please take roll?

Commissioner Aguilera?

Here.

Commissioner Holliday.

Here.

Vice Chair Fitzgerald.

Here.

Chair Halliday?

Here.

Commissioner Mason is absent.

All other commissioners are present.

Thank you.

Thanks, Caitlin.

Are there any changes to the agenda or supplemental reports?

No changes.

Thank you.

We move to item three, public comment.

Public comment provides an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the commission on items of interest within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission.

If your comments pertain to a specific item on the agenda, please reserve your comments until that item is before the commission.

Are there any public comments from the audience?

Seeing none, we'll move on to any other comments from the public.

We'll conclude that uh the public general public comment portion of this agenda and move on to the consent calendar.

Item four, these routine items can be approved with one motion and vote.

If a commissioner wishes to discuss an item, they can request that the item be removed from the consent calendar.

And after the remaining items are approved, items which are removed are considered separately.

Is there a motion to approve the consent calendar?

I'll move it.

I'll make that motion.

Thank you.

Uh and a second.

I'll second it.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Opposed.

And the motion passes.

So moving on to item five, administrative reports.

We're gonna start with a report from staff on item 5A.

MJ, you're on.

Thank you, Chair Halliday.

The item before you is regarding all five of the classification specification revisions in the fire department in the public safety sworn side of the department, including deputy fire chief, fire battalion chief, fire captain, firefighter paramedic, and firefighter.

So the intent and the reason for this study was the fire department wanted to look at all the classifications, specifically to ensure consistency with the current state certification requirements to promote consistency across position classification specifications related to policies and procedures, and lastly, to update and clarify existing language.

So we took a comprehensive view of all five classes that impacted both of the bargaining units, including the NAPA Chief Fire Officers Association and Napa City Firefighters Association, so NCFO and NCFA, which were both given the opportunity to review and agreed with staff recommendation.

Also note that there is no salary um changes being recommended as part of this update, but it is um sort of all five classifications are being updated and aligned for um for operations.

Um the fire chief is with us if there's any operational questions, but happy to address any other questions regarding this class study in the five classifications that are recommended for revision.

That's it.

Thank you.

Any public comments from the audience on item five A?

I'm practicing wait time here.

Seeing none.

Um any comments or questions from the commissioners?

I just want to make a quick comment.

I recognize how much work goes into lifting this whole battalion of people, and I appreciate that.

And um I I know that often when you do good work, you're punished by given being given other good work to do and other groups of of classes to move, but thank you for this good work and uh for bringing it to us all buttoned up and also for including all the right people in the process.

Um sounds like it went smoothly and and we appreciate that.

Thank you for that, uh is there a motion to approve staff's recommendation?

I can motion to approve the recommendation.

And a second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye, aye.

Opposed, and the motion passes.

We're moving on to item six, uh, comments by the commissioners and staff.

Any comments from the commissioners?

Seeing none.

Uh comments from staff.

No.

All right, we move on to item six C, the recruitment status report.

Caitlin, can you please provide an update on the recruitment status?

Yes.

Good evening, commissioners.

Um, for our recruitment status update.

We're holding panel interviews later this week for uh property technician in our police department.

We're also conducting phone interviews later this week for purchasing MA.

Recently, the filing deadline for water distribution supervisor closed on Friday last week.

So we're gonna be reviewing those applications and supplemental questionnaires with our hiring team.

Right now we're currently accepting applications for senior traffic engineer in our public works department.

And we're also accepting applications for a promotional opportunity for communications manager in our police department.

So that recruitment is open to City of Napa full-time classified employees.

And we continue to accept applications for our continuous recruitments for lateral police officer, trainee, and public safety dispatcher.

And just a quick update our our HR team and our police department are going to be attending the Sacramento State Job Fair on Monday next week.

So next meeting we can provide you with an update on that.

And that's our recruitment update.

I'll just add to that that we are getting dangerously close on that vacancy rate in the police department, which is very exciting.

So moving target, we always know we get we get close and flirt with being fully staffed, and then and then someone retires on us, but we're getting very close, which is very good news.

Okay, that's great.

Great news.

Um I think that brings us to uh item seven adjournment.

We'll adjourn the meeting.

Thank you all.

A special Civil Service Commission meeting is scheduled.

I think we have one more item.

Uh item six D scheduled automatic expiration of eligible list for candidates.

Um, the recommendation is that we receive the eligible list report regarding the scheduled automatic expiration of eligible list of candidates.

Uh can I see a motion on?

Do we need a motion on that?

Yes.

The I usually we'll report out real quick on the five lists here that are scheduled to expire, including senior planner, budget analyst, water plant maintenance superintendent, recreation coordinator, and police officer trainee.

And all of those resulted in hires, including the trainee, which resulted in four hires, and the record resulted in three hires.

So very good.

Thank you.

And it doesn't look like we need a any action on that.

So I'll try this again.

Item seven, we'll move to adjournment.

Um just a quick note that uh we moved the regular meeting for March up a week.

So we're only off for two weeks and back on March 9th.

And March 16th meeting is canceled.

Thank you all.

Thank you.
