candidates ready to move up to the academy. At the present time, there are no individuals on the
reserve list and it is anticipated that there will be several retirements in the coming year.
Alderman Rossetti requested that, in the future, candidates’ addresses be redacted from the
resumes prior to confirmation meetings.
