Good morning, commissioners. I'm here to present the lateral eligibility list. We have one applicant on it. He's from Redding, California, and that is Randall Levi Sween.

Okay. Okay. Any further discussion on that?

Second.

All right. Any discussion? All right. Has this person been tested yet?

He went through oral board testing, correct. And he passed that. So then he was placed on the eligibility list. which then the chief has the rule of five to do a chief's interview. And then based on that process, he may be moved forward to a background investigation.

Okay. So this is the first step.

The only item I would have is to plan for the September civil service meeting, which would be September 21st. We have already held oral boards for the police entry advanced and lateral last week. And we have corrections scheduled between now and then also. So there should be multiple eligibility lists that we would bring forward for certification.

Okay. September 21 would be a Monday.

Yes.

At 9 a.m.

Yes.

And we do it by zoom.

Yes. And then we do anticipate having sergeant testing also in September and would likely have that eligibility list to present to you as well.

Okay. Anything further?

No, thank you.

Okay. I'd like to point out that our Qantas Club held a meeting up at the new police station a couple of weeks ago and what a beautiful facility we have up there.

Very appreciative of the community support for it.

Yes, and I think they can do a much better job in what they're doing with that kind of support. All right, anything further?

Do we have an idea of any October meeting, like scheduling alterations? Are we on schedule for the third Tuesday?

I haven't heard anything different for October.

Okay.

Okay, anything further? All right, I would entertain a motion to adjourn.

Motion to adjourn.

In a second? Okay, all in favor of adjourning, signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Okay, we are adjourned.
