WEBVTT 00:00:00.226 --> 00:00:07.013 - I'd like to call the Mayor Commission Special Session for October 27th, 2026 to order. We'll start with 00:00:07.013 --> 00:00:13.996 - the approval of the minutes. Can I get a motion to approve the minutes from the August 25th, 2026 meeting? 00:00:13.996 --> 00:00:20.653 - I have a motion. Can I get a second? Second. Any discussion? Hearing none, all in favor say aye. Aye. 00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:23.198 - Any opposed? That motion's successful. 00:00:24.642 --> 00:00:31.156 - I hereby certify that the Merit Commission for the City of Bloomington Fire Department held an executive 00:00:31.156 --> 00:00:37.608 - session on October 27th, 2026 for the purpose of receiving information on an existing department member 00:00:37.608 --> 00:00:44.122 - and that no final action was taken during the executive session. There is no old business, new business. 00:00:44.122 --> 00:00:50.078 - Do we? Yes, we brought you a captain's list at the last session and afterwards we realized that 00:00:50.274 --> 00:00:56.385 - We made a mistake when we did the evaluations. We left out the yearly evaluations off of the scoring 00:00:56.385 --> 00:01:02.436 - thing. And so in labor management, we discussed it with the union, and it was agreed unanimously to 00:01:02.436 --> 00:01:08.487 - just ask you to do away with that list, and we would start over a whole new process. So that's what 00:01:08.487 --> 00:01:14.356 - we're asking. OK. Can I get a motion to grant a request and repeal the captain's promotion list? 00:01:14.356 --> 00:01:17.502 - So long. Second. Second. All right. Any discussion? 00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:35.257 - Any questions? All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? That motion was successful. Do we have to bring 00:01:35.257 --> 00:01:50.078 - the job one back in? No. No, that's not for the executive session. Is that what you're talking about? 00:01:50.498 --> 00:01:59.239 - Okay, no for this one is just fire merit commission members. Mr. Chapparro since your term and ends 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:08.154 - in February or early next year, we just want. Are you interested in continuing on in your role? Okay, 00:02:08.154 --> 00:02:14.622 - no pressure side though. But are you interested? It's just since it's up. 00:02:14.786 --> 00:02:23.141 - And I understand from other board members, it is a courtesy to ask the member if they wish to continue 00:02:23.141 --> 00:02:31.497 - their service. And if so, yes. If not, then I just wanted to let the union know ahead of time, because 00:02:31.497 --> 00:02:39.771 - it is difficult to find the opposing political parties. And so I'm just putting it on the radar. It's 00:02:39.771 --> 00:02:44.638 - hard letting the union know. And I know Claire isn't yours. 00:02:45.250 --> 00:02:52.700 - in August and yours is a mayoral appointment so plenty of time but there are things that with the Julian 00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:59.796 - he was kind of the liaison for all those and since they they've already said there could be a delay 00:02:59.796 --> 00:03:07.105 - with any appointments and this is another reason to bring this up now if he facilitates those and that 00:03:07.105 --> 00:03:14.910 - position is not filled they said that January February March are very busy with mayors trying to reappoint so 00:03:16.066 --> 00:03:24.701 - or find new ones. So that August gives us a cushion. Yours is just a little bit different. Yours is 00:03:24.701 --> 00:03:33.509 - up in that first quarter. So you need time to think or you interested and we pass your information on 00:03:33.509 --> 00:03:42.316 - to the union. It's... Yeah. No pressure. Just to clarify on this sheet, it shows Claire's ends at the 00:03:42.316 --> 00:03:44.734 - end of January like Jeff's. 00:03:45.122 --> 00:03:51.897 - But over here, it says August. It is August, right? It is. Two years from when she was appointed. Yes. 00:03:51.897 --> 00:03:58.607 - OK. OK, we'll make that correction. Stay. Let the party continue. Yeah, I'll do another year. Oh, OK. 00:03:58.607 --> 00:04:05.448 - I think it's another two years. Then we'll let the union know now that they have to do another election 00:04:05.448 --> 00:04:12.224 - or anything then. We'll say that you are interested in doing so, and then we'll go from there. Because 00:04:12.224 --> 00:04:14.526 - the mayor doesn't have necessarily 00:04:15.586 --> 00:04:24.115 - say on yours, but the union does, but we want to have this taken care of before the deadline and not 00:04:24.115 --> 00:04:32.982 - after, because we like being able to have a quorum when we need one. So let me have that. OK. All right. 00:04:32.982 --> 00:04:41.681 - Is that it for that part? It is. Any staff reports? Other than we have our grand opening for them, the 00:04:41.681 --> 00:04:43.454 - operations center is 00:04:44.898 --> 00:04:53.857 - November 6th, that Friday. If you haven't, then we can reset. But that would be, yeah, like Grand Tour, 00:04:53.857 --> 00:05:02.126 - Grand Opening, and they have people down there, and it's functional now. It's beautiful. It is, 00:05:02.126 --> 00:05:10.741 - isn't it? It goes right with Station 3. It's a big thing. And that's the last of the bond projects, 00:05:10.741 --> 00:05:14.014 - correct? Yes. We used up all of them. 00:05:14.466 --> 00:05:29.063 - And since there's nobody here from the public there's no petitions or community. Can I get emotionally 00:05:29.063 --> 00:05:30.622 - adjourned.
