Civil Service Board (In-Person) (Sep 4, 2025)

The Civil Service Board will meet on September 4th to address personnel matters and review past actions. The main focus of the meeting will be a request from the Asheville Fire Department (AFD) to hold another promotional process for Captain positions. Currently, AFD is conducting an initial promotion competition with a large number of applicants and open slots, but they are seeking approval to re-advertise and run another process later this year.

A key decision will be whether or not to approve AFD’s request for a second promotional process. The board will also vote on approving the minutes from their previous meeting, ensuring accurate records of past discussions. Citizens interested in city employment practices or the operations of the Asheville Fire Department may find this meeting particularly relevant.

Finally, a period will be set aside for public comment, providing an opportunity for residents to share their thoughts and concerns with the board.
