I was just thinking because I saw a private sanitation truck pass by. But what is to keep the city from switching over to private contractor in the future, I know it won't effect the guys that's already hired but for the new people or for the future of the department. I'm pretty sure somebody in city hall would consider switching over some task to private company because it's cheaper and there no benefits or pension needed to pay out. And just retain half the workforce for snow situation. There's some Beancounter out there doing the math and calculation. Just curious, is there any law that protect the antiprivatazation of sanitation. Thanks for any info.
No politician would ever propose that idea - they would never be re-elected.
The citizens are more than Happy if you don't change anything about their Police Protection, Fire Protection, or Garbage pickup.
This. Was at orientation today and it was stated the first class will be July 18th, second August 22nd and another some time in September.
Thirty one people showed up. Only 2 already had CDL. Medicals are this Wednesday and Thursday.

did they say whether there is still spots left for people in the last few days of orientation? anyone going this week is cutting it close. lol

We had the deputy director speak because the director wasn't available. She was kind of vague when answering questions about the likelihood of people in our list range(high 700s) getting into one of this years classes. She just gave the usual 3 to 1 ratio people keep throwing around.
Personally, I was a little encouraged by them pushing the first class date back. You would figure they wouldn't do that unless they were having a harder time filling the class than they thought they would.

i agree. def encouraging. 3 to 1 ratio would give us a shot mathematically.

I think the reason is the first 200+ people are combat veterans and disabled veterans, and their medical are more complicated and takes a little longer to clear. But by law, they have to be given a full evaluation and not just get skipped over to the next one. So it may take longer, maybe that's why they pushing the class back because they have to give this group of Hero's extra time to get their medical situated. Rightfully so.
Lucky that this isn't New Jersey, their civil service law is really pro military. Even if you score a 100 and a vet scored a 75, he will be called and process before you.

Could be that. It could also be that it seems like a really low percentage of the people are coming in having a CDL already. Like I said, only 2 out of 31 had it today. So it seems like HR is having to wait for the all the FBF CDL people to fill classes.
