DATE: October 10, 2008
SUBJECT: Paid-on-Call Firefighter/EMT Hiring
Description:
Rescind conditional job offer to Mack R. Carlson and approve a conditional job
offer to Anthony J. Halfen.
Background:
At the September 15, 2008, city council meeting, approval was granted to offer
conditional job offers to eight individuals for the positions of paid-on-call
firefighter/EMT. The conditional job offer was based upon successful completion
of pre-employment physical examination, drug screening, and background check.
Based on the results of the pre-employment screening, it is recommended that
Mr. Carlson no longer be considered as an applicant.
Anthony J. Halfen is the next candidate on the ranking list. Mr. Halfen missed
the original eight candidate pool by less than o.5 points in the hiring process.
Requested Action•
Rescind the recent council approval that was granted for a conditional job offer to Mack
R. Carlson and request approval to offer a conditional job offer as paid-on-call
firefighter/EMT to Anthony J. Halfen, on the condition of successfully completing a
background check, physical examination, and pre-employment drug screening.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 651-775-5575 anytime.
I will be in attendance at the October 20, 2008, city council meeting if you should
have any questions at that time.
