Welcome, Ching Chair Herb. Go ahead. Okay, we ready to start? I'd like to uh call the meeting to order. 1217. Okay. [clears throat] The first order of business is to review the minutes from the

Hey, does not look like uh anyone wishes to make a comment. >> Okay, there is

003nobody from the general public who wishes to make a comment. Next item is new business. [clears throat] a request to approve uh corrected eligibility list for the sewage pump operations operator. So, uh, just for the board's edification, uh, the board approved this, uh, list last month at the meeting, but, um, there was a scribers error on the list and one of the individuals, uh, name was left off. It did not impact anything because we were able to we found the error before we moved forward and it didn't impact anybody standing on the list because that individual was tied for second with three or four other people. So nobody else nobody else was impacted on the list. If you look at the list that was sent out, you'll see that uh Danny Makos is is an

004additional tie for number two. And that was the correction that was made to the list. >> I'll entertain a motion to accept the request as submitted. >> Anybody want to make that motion? >> I can make that motion. >> Alice, thank you. Second. >> All in favor >> say I or raise your hand. >> I. >> Anybody opposed? Motion is carried. Next item. >> Yep. Go ahead. The next item is a request to approve the eligibility list for grant financial and administrative project manager. I'll entertain a motion. >> Well, if if I'll just explain to the board briefly. I won't take much time. This was a a a training and experience assessment that was done. It's a new position in the finance department. Um it was open and competitive. Um there are three people on

005the current list uh that we are asking you to certify today. >> I'll entertain a motion to certify that list. All of anybody move I'll if nobody moves I'll move >> and then you need a second. >> I need a second. >> Got it. [clears throat] All in favor? Any opposed? >> I >> then the the motion carries. Next item, the request to approve eligibility list for admin to senior circulation assistant at the Trumbull uh library. Okay. So, this was a uh promotional as well as an open and competitive exam because there were uh internal candidates uh that uh took the test. Um it is the senior circulation assistant. There are two or three other circulation assistants. This is essentially the um head admin position for the library. Um and we had a very extensive

006list as you can see. Uh and all else is in order with this list. I will entertain a motion to approve the eligibility list for admin to circulation assistant. Anybody make that motion? >> Motion. >> Thank you. Oh, did anybody >> Thank you. >> Second. >> A second. >> All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? The motion carries. Next item, request to approve eligibility list for for marketing specialist at the Trumbull Library. >> Steve. >> Oh, yeah. So, this was a uh a very interesting one. Although it is a an entrylevel type admin position I think because we use the term marketing in the title we were uh inundated with candidates over 160 started the process. we were able to winnow it down. But as you can see, it's a pretty extensive list um with

007about 40 people on it um including those that didn't pass. Um so it it involved a similar to the uh other admin type positions that we test for. We used the computer skills and then we uh used the training experience assessment which included a questionnaire that they all had to fill out. And um all else is in order with this list. I will entertain a motion to approve the eligibility list for library marketing specialist the Trumbull Library. Anybody make that motion? I'll >> motion. >> Thank you. All in favor? >> We need to second that motion. >> I need a second. >> Second. >> Okay. Thank you, Lauren. >> All in favor? >> Any opposed? >> I no opposed. The motion carries. The next item is a request [clears throat] to uh advertise and re

008advertise and recruit for a tradesman lead electrician. Steve comment. Um so this is a um just a an this is a position that the um maintenance department part of the parks department has had in the past. It happens there happens to be nobody in it at the moment but uh we will be looking for a lead man um for lead electrician. Uh it'll be 100% uh training and experience [clears throat] similar to the job we approved you you the board approved last month for uh leadmen for the HVAC. They'll be working for the parks department to keep the buildings uh maintained. >> Okay. I need a motion to uh advertise to approve the ad to advertise the request for tradesman leadman electrician. >> I can make that motion. >> Thank you. Second. Thank you. >>

009All in favor? I I >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Item number five, approval of transfer list requests. There doesn't seem to be any. >> That is correct. There are no transfer requests this uh this month. >> Okay. Number six. Item number six, civil service new hire report. So this is a report that I uh you know from time to time provide for the board. Doesn't require any action by the board. It's simply a report. I did not prepare one for this meeting. Generally I prepare for every other meeting. We did one last one. >> Okay. Anything for the good of the order? If nothing I will entertain a motion to adjourn. I'll move to adjourn. Anybody second? >> I could do that. >> Thank you so much. Uh vote. >> How did I do? >>
