Civil Service Commission 2026 10 21

The City of Binghamton Civil Service Commission meeting, held October 23, 2026, approved the September 23 minutes and voted to revise the Tree Trimmer qualifications. Applicants may start with a learner’s permit and must obtain a regular CDL B license within six months of appointment; the change is intended to broaden the candidate pool after the position had remained posted for more than a year.

The Commission also approved two positions associated with a departmental reorganization: Director of Housing and Community Development, with a stated salary of $86,000, and Housing and Community Development Program Coordinator, with a stated salary of $59,000. The coordinator will manage aspects of the homeowner rehabilitation program, including project scopes that are subsequently bid out, but no procurement award or spending decision was discussed. The meeting also noted an examination announcement for a wastewater treatment plant operator trainee and an eligible list for police sergeant. No procurement activity was identified.
