Civil Service Commission - 10/14/26

The MyGlendale Civil Service Commission met on October 14, 2026, to review recruitment reports and job classifications and bulletins. Staff filed the recruitment and examination workload report and reported 17 eligible lists established: five open, nine promotional, and three open and promotional. The commission discussed the proposed Director of Communications and Community Relations qualifications, including whether a master’s degree in a related field should remain desirable; the transcript does not clearly capture the vote outcome. It approved the revised Police Services Officer and Supervisor specifications with changes, including correcting the supervisor’s FLSA status to non-exempt and removing highlighted language, and approved revisions to the Criminalist I–III specifications and the Public Works Assistant and Associate specifications. The Utility Operations Supervisor specification was also presented for approval, but the vote is not fully captured in the transcript. The Equipment Mechanic series item was pulled at the department’s request.

Discussion of the Project Manager—Design CIP bulletin focused on whether its revised duties and qualifications fit the existing class specification and civil-service rules, particularly given an existing eligible list. No approval is recorded; the issue was left unresolved. The meeting concerned civil-service hiring and classification rather than purchasing, contracts, budgets, or vendor selection, so no procurement activity was identified. The commission also discussed holding a special meeting on November 4, with the time stated as 6 p.m., in place of the previously considered October 29 date.
