Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved spending an additional $2,720 to complete written testing for firefighter trainee positions. The city hired CPS HR Consulting to create and administer these exams, but the original $39,500 contract fell short of covering all costs needed to finish the hiring process. This brings the total contract to $42,220 and allows the fire department to continue recruiting new trainees. This was a routine contract adjustment to complete an ongoing hiring process.
