The Civil Service Commission met on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 3:37 PM. Chairman Bishop Fetz and Lee, Commissioners Margaret Chadwick and Wadalupe Avila were present. The meeting covered approval of prior minutes, a residency change request for an automotive mechanic position, recording of a previously approved police officer reinstatement, and extensions of several eligible lists. No public comment was heard.
Residency Change for Automotive Mechanic (Department of Public Works): The department requested changing the residency requirement to New York State, noting that posting to New Rochelle and Westchester County had yielded only 2–3 applications (one duplicate). The goal is to widen the applicant pool. The commission approved the request.
Police Officer Reinstatement (Police Department): The commission recorded a reinstatement of a police officer who had been working at another municipality for three years. Unanimous approval had been obtained from all three commissioners via email on August 19, 2026. The item was placed on the record.
Eligible List Extensions: Several lists were presented for establishment or extension:
The commission approved all extensions collectively, noting the lack of upcoming exams.
Examination Schedule: It was reported that no exams are scheduled for September or October 2026; only promotion exams are expected in the near future.
Next Meeting Date: The next meeting was originally set for October 28, 2026 at 3:30 PM, but one commissioner will be out of town. The commission agreed to tentatively reschedule for October 21, 2026, pending email confirmation.
