Lieutenant Brian Stuart proposed to the Board that he would like to do a pre-employment background investigation on the firefighter candidates before they move forward to the polygraph portion of the testing process.

Candidates will be sent for the polygraph first and then a background investigation will be done on each candidate. The Board recommended to Lt. Stuart that they would like him to revisit this topic in six months. L. Other Business M. Executive Session N. Reconvene O.
