Commission approves removal of multiple candidates and certifies eligibility lists

The Lakewood Civil Service Commission moved through a series of motions to remove multiple candidates from recruitment eligibility lists and then certified the eligibility lists for entry-level, lateral and community-service officer recruitments. Motions were made and seconded; the chair called for voice votes and each removal was approved.

During the open meeting the chair read motions to remove specific candidate numbers from the posted entry-level list and the lateral and community-service lists. After the removals, commissioners moved to certify the entry-level, lateral and community-service officer eligibility lists. The commission also discussed logistics for obtaining full candidate identifying information during the executive session and confirmed the civil service rule requiring a motion and approval for removals remains applicable.
