b-i. Domestic Violence Coordinator recruiting process request.
Acting Chair Davis indicated he would like to recuse himself from this item. Police Sergeant
McClure asked that he wait until after the request before recusing himself. Police Sergeant
McClure stated that he was asking the Commission for approval to start the recruitment process
over again due to the lack of viable candidates. Police Sergeant McClure continued to explain that
that two candidates were not actually disqualified but were determined as "not most competitive"
and because of that he needs the Commission's permission to re -start the process.
Acting Chair Davis confirmed that due to the request he would not be recusing himself from the
discussion and supported the request to re -post the position. Secretary and Chief Examiner, Jessica
Neill Hoyson confirmed that this situation would not require Acting Chair Davis to recuse himself.
Acting Chair Davis made a motion to reopen the recruitment for the Domestic Violence
Coordinator. Commissioner Fleck seconded the motion. The motion carried.
Secretary and Chief Examiner Neill Hoyson asked Police Sergeant McClure to provide a brief update
on the Parking Enforcement Officer and Public Disclosure positions. Police Sergeant McClure
explained that Public Disclosure interviews are scheduled for the following Wednesday and that
Parking Enforcement Candidates are in a pool ready to contact.
Secretary and Chief Examiner Neill Hoyson asked what the response level was for these positions.
Police Sergeant McClure responded that Public Disclosure was surprising and that compared to
another agency, Bothell who received over 150 apps, we only received about 40 and that Parking
Enforcement was standard at around 40 applications received.
There was brief discussion about the Parking Enforcement and Public Disclosure positions among the
commission including that the Public Disclosure position was added to support records request
inclusive of body cam footage and the increased public disclosure work required additional staff.
5. New Business
Acting Chair Davis confirmed that there was no new business to review.
