Okay.

Good evening, everybody.

The regular civil service commission meeting for June 15th is called to order.

Caitlin, can you please take roll?

Commissioner Mason.

Here.

Vice Chair Fitzgerald.

Chair Halliday?

Here.

Commissioner Aguilera and Commissioner Holiday are absent.

All other commissioners are present.

Thank you.

Thank you, Caitlin.

Any changes to the agenda or supplemental reports?

No changes today.

No changes.

All right.

We'll move on to 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, we ask you to reserve your comments until the item is before the commission.

Any comments from the audience.

Seeing none, uh we will um move on since we've received no comments from the public.

We'll now conclude the general public comment portion of the agenda and move on to item four, the consent calendar.

These routine items can be approved with one motion and vote.

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

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

Is there a motion to approve the consent calendar?

I move to approve these consent calendar.

I second that.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed.

And the motion passes.

We now move on to administrative reports.

And I see that we have no administrative reports on tonight's agenda.

So comments by commissioners and staff, uh comments from the commissioners.

I have none.

I don't either.

I just want to make a quick comment.

Susanna Aguilera, this would be her last uh uh meeting as a commissioner.

Uh and typically we would acknowledge her contribution to the city and to her work on the commission, and uh even in her absence, I want to acknowledge her.

So thank you, Susanna.

And um uh comments from staff.

Yes, thank you.

I do have one update, and that's regarding uh Commissioner Aguilera's vacancy regarding the Civil Service Commission appointment of the employee elected commissioner.

Those nominations were held and uh from June 8th, Monday, June 8th until Friday, uh June 12th.

And so at five o'clock, now the notice of election of the certified candidates will be posted on Thursday, June 18th, and then the election will be held on Thursday, June 25th and Friday, June 26th, with the notice of election containing information regarding the location time, procedures and and voting from the city clerk, and then the votes will be counted on Monday, June 29th.

Also, for the classified employees that are out of town or ill or that need to submit an absentee ballot, those are available through the clerk, either by email or phone or in person, and so um they will begin to accept absentee ballots on Monday, June 22nd, but they must be received no later than Friday, June 26th at 5 o'clock.

So that is underway under the city clerk's uh administration of that process.

That's great.

Thank you, MJ.

It looks like the election won't be completed until the 29th, and our next meeting is on the 20th, so we'll just have a vacancy on the commission for our next meeting.

Yeah, that's what we typically have is the um person would start at the next regular meeting.

Okay, okay, very good.

Thank you.

Um item six Caitlin, can you provide an update on the recruitment status report?

Yes, good evening, commissioners.

So for our recruitment updates, we conducted interviews earlier today for public safety dispatch call taker.

So hopefully we'll be filling some of those vacancies soon.

Um we also are holding two days of phone interviews this week for police record specialists.
