Deputy Fire Chief Chen Suen presented this item. The current list expires on April
7, 2022. The Department is requesting a three-month extension since there are
some Fire Department members in process with other agencies. The Department
has reviewed the applications of candidates currently on the list, and there are
several qualified candidates. The Department would be able to meet and
interview the candidates with the upcoming vacancies.

Commissioner Rodriguez asked why the Department is asking for three months
and not more. Deputy Fire Chief Chen Suen said the vacancies are anticipated
to span within three months and with the time it takes to interview people, three
months was determined to be the right timeframe.
Commissioner Eskander asked how many candidates are internal. Deputy Fire
Chief Chen Suen said the Department encourages reserve Firefighters to take
the test and one internal candidate was hired thus far.
It was moved by Commissioner Rodriguez, seconded by Commissioner Eskander, and
carried on roll call to approve the extension to the eligibility list number 21-07 for the
position of Firefighter.
