The committee discussed the appointment of 7 fire fighters, (5 from the reserve list and 2 re-
appointments), and questioned the use of a reserve list in place of the civil service list. Mr.
Collins explained that the methodology is the same for both, however the civil service list is only
good for 2 years whereas the reserve list allows candidates to be appointed as openings occur.
The reserve list has no rankings for candidates, prompting Alderman Roche to request that the
Administration consider using the civil service list when making appointments to the Fire
Department. The 2 individuals being re-appointed have 9 months to move into the city, once
hired.
