Speaker 2, the presiding official at the Sunbury City meeting, introduced and read a ranked eligibility list of four candidates for the service department maintenance worker position and moved to approve the list so the city could take the next step of making offers.
The presiding official said the list reflects interview rankings submitted by the service department and noted that for this entry-level role the city uses application review and interviews rather than a written test. "Approving the eligibility list then enables the city to make an offer to one or more of these individuals," the presiding official said, adding that the city is not required to make any offer.
The presiding official described the maintenance worker duties to explain the qualifications the department considered: snow and ice removal, facility maintenance, mowing parks and public rights-of-way, addressing street-light issues and assisting the police department with traffic-related tasks. That description was provided as context for why the service department used interviews and application review for ranking candidates.
The presiding official moved to approve the eligibility list; a second was recorded. Miss Berger and Mister Wood voted yes. Miss Mazza was absent. The presiding official announced the motion approved with "2 yays." The meeting then handled routine business: the previous meeting minutes were approved earlier in the session, and the presiding official moved to adjourn; Miss Berger and Mister Wood voted to adjourn.
