AMES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
AMES, IOWA MAY 11, 2020
The Special Meeting of the Ames Civil Service Commission was called to order by Chairman Mike Crum
at 11:46 a.m. on May 11, 2020. As it was impractical for the Commission members to attend in person,
Commission Chairperson Mike Crum and Commission Member Harold Pike were brought in
telephonically. Commission Member Charlie Ricketts was absent.
REQUEST TO EXHAUST ENTRY-LEVEL CERTIFIED LISTS FOR TREATMENT PLANT
MAINTENANCE WORKER WPC SUB-LIST AND HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER I:
Commission Member Pike asked, if the Lists are abolished, would those remaining on those Certified Lists
be added to the new Lists. Human Resources Director Bethany Jorgenson answered that, per Civil Service
policy, the remaining candidates would be moved to the next eligibility list. Ms. Jorgenson explained that
there were some issues noted by the hiring supervisors, and they would like to conduct another recruitment
to see if the pool of candidates would be different. Specifically addressing the Human Resources Officer
I position, Director Jorgenson advised that the previous recruitment was conducted almost one year ago.
One person remains on the List and will be added to the new List. The Department could wait for the List
to expire; however, the position is now vacant, and there is an urgent need to fill it.
Moved by Crum, seconded by Pike, to approve the request to exhaust the Entry-Level Certified Lists for
Treatment Plant Maintenance Worker WPC Sub-List and Human Resources Officer I.
Vote on Motion: 2-0. Motion declared carried unanimously.
COMMENTS: The next Regular Meeting of the Ames Civil Service Commission is scheduled for May 28, 2020,
at 8:15 a.m.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 11:58 a.m.
