Civil Service Commission June 11, 2026

The Tumwater, WA Civil Service Commission held a meeting on June 11, 2026, primarily focused on personnel eligibility lists and a reclassification request within the city's fire department. The commission approved updates to several eligibility lists for police officer positions, including entry-level, certified, administrative manager, and lateral police officers. Additionally, the commission approved the reclassification of a department assistant to an administrative assistant II in the fire department to better align duties and allow the fire administrative manager to focus on higher-level tasks such as managing an RFP process for fire impact fees. The reclassification will be funded within the current budget or through a budget amendment and accounted for in the upcoming biennial budget. Updates were also provided on firefighter paramedic academy progress and the North Station build-out project, with permit approval received and design nearing completion for construction expected in early 2027.
