This Is the City of Montebello Civil Service Commission (09/22/26)

The City of Montebello Civil Service Commission held a regular meeting on September 22, 2026, where the primary procurement-related discussion focused on the approval of a new job classification series for fire inspectors. The commission reviewed and recommended to the City Council the establishment of a three-tiered fire inspector series (levels one, two, and three) to enhance recruitment, employee advancement, and retention within the fire department's community risk reduction division. The positions are civilian roles focused on fire inspections and code enforcement, with pay scales adjusted to be competitive with related positions such as code enforcement officers. The commission unanimously approved the recommendation. Additionally, an update was provided on the successful recruitment of concrete and cement workers, with two candidates currently undergoing background checks, supporting ongoing city infrastructure maintenance efforts. No other procurement or budgetary actions were reported during the meeting.
