MEMO
Date: Thursday, June 27, 2024
To: Civil Service Commission
From: Bethany Ballou, Human Resources Director
Subject: Remove Name from and Exhaust Certified List for Police Officer
On the agenda for the June 27, 2024, Civil Service Commission meeting, the
Commission will discuss a request from City staff to remove a name from the
certified list for the Police Officer classification, which was approved on March 28,
2024.
Joseph Meyer – Candidate failed to pass agility testing.
Section 4.5 (Removal of Names from Certified Lists) of the Civil Service
commission Policies and Procedures states: “In addition, an individual may be
removed and decertified if the person is subsequently found unqualified for any of
the following reasons: …6. The candidate has failed to obtain a qualifying score
on a physical agility, polygraph, or MMPI examination as applicable for the
position.”
This removal would leave two candidates left on the list and both candidates are
currently in the pre-employment checks, with anticipation of finalizing hires.
Section 4.2 (Curation of Entry Level Eligibility Lists) of the Civil Service
Commission Policies and Procedures states: “When a list has diminished to three
or fewer candidates, the Commission may declare the list exhausted.”
Staff requests that the Civil Service Commission remove the above name from the
Civil Service list and exhaust this current list so we may continue with an open
recruitment, when needed.
