Meeting 07

City of Canton Board of Fire and Police Commissioners met April 9.

Here is the minutes provided by the board:

A regular meeting of the Canton Fire and Police Commission was held on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. The meeting was called to order at 1:04 p.m. by Commissioner Norton

Present: Commissioner Samantha Norton

Commissioner Greg Gossett

Public Safety Director Dick Fairburn, Absent: Commissioner Chad Mayall

Public Participation- none

Motions were made by Commissioner Norton seconded by Commissioner Gossett to accept the

Minutes of the March 12, 2019 regular meeting and the March Budget. All Ayes, motions carried.

Training certificates: No certificates were presented.

Old Business – Probationary Employees. PS Director Fairburn reported that Fults and Chenoweth have now graduated from the fire academy and are working full time.

Bills: None

Testing Cycles: The 90 day study period for the PD Lieutenant Promotional will conclude in late May, so the commissioners set a tentative date of June 8th for the oral interviews and written testing. Carol will contact Commissioner Mayall to confirm the date.

New Business : Brief discussion about the procedure of making temporary appointments to a higher rank. In the past, temporary appointments made through the Commission were mostly of the type that named a non-City employee to fill a position, but some were made of this type, moving a current employee to a higher rank to fill a vacancy. The commission concurred that higher-rank appointments can be made without formal approval from the commission if they are emailed of the appointment in advance. This will provide proper notice, but not delay an appointment by having to wait on the next commission meeting.

Having no other business, a Motion was made by Commissioner Norton seconded by Commissioner Gossett to adjourn the meeting. All Ayes, motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 1:12 p.m.
