MEMORANDUM
TO: Police Civil Service Commission
FROM: Terrie Rameaux, Human Resource Coordinator/Staff Liaison
Mike Funk, Assistant City Manager/Human Resource Director
DATE: June 23, 2017
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Background Investigations for the Public Safety
Director/Police Chief Finalists
Introduction/Background
On June 1, 2017 the Commission approved a motion to certify the top three candidates
for vacancy, pending background investigations. Background packets were provided to
the three finalists for their execution.
The background staff have completed their thorough investigative research into each of
the candidates and they are attached for your review. For anonymity purposes the
backgrounds are randomly labeled #1, #2, and #3. Human Resources is requesting
that the Commission approve these backgrounds as the final step in this recruitment
process.
City Manager Coleman recently completed her interviews with the three finalists. Ms.
Coleman is reviewing input from the City Council Workshop interviews as well as
comments from residents during the formal Meet & Greet/Open Forum. Both of these
interview processes were held last week. Upon approval of these backgrounds, Ms.
Coleman will review the backgrounds along with all the information gathered from
Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three components. Based on all the data points,
Ms. Coleman will make a final decision on the top candidate.
The last step in the process is a conditional offer made to the top candidate. This would
be contingent on the successful completion/passing of the pre-employment physical and
psychological exams.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Police Civil Service Commission approve backgrounds for
the top three finalists, #1 through #3.

1. Background Investigations—Candidates #1 through #3—Commissioners/Staff only
