Action Items
1. Action Items.
A. Modify Fire Lieutenants’ Eligibility List
Todd Rent, Chief Examiner presented a request to the Commission to modify the Fire Lieutenants’
eligibility list as a result of a dialogue between the bargaining unit representing the City of Urbana
Firefighters (IAFF) and City management. The issue centers on the threshold requirements for
placement on Fire Department promotional lists. Currently the list includes an individual who only
completed part of the process. Human Resources staff recommends removing William Morfey’s
name from the list because he did not complete the testing process. They will prepare a negotiated
memorandum for the Union for future promotional testing. Commissioner Betz moved for approval
and Commissioner Knight seconded. Motion passed.
Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the meeting, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Rhonda Collins, Recording Secretary
