The New Rochelle Municipal Civil Service Commission at a regular meeting April 16 approved new job specifications for a library treasurer and a citywide operations manager, and authorized expanding the residency area for a Public Properties and Parking Manager position to Westchester County after the post produced two New Rochelle applicants.

The actions were taken after the commission returned from an executive session. Commissioners approved the two job specifications so that a single operations manager specification can be used across departments and a treasurer specification specific to the New Rochelle Public Library will be used for library hires.

The commission also voted to broaden the recruitment area for a Public Properties and Parking Manager from New Rochelle residents to all of Westchester County. Staff said the vacancy had been posted to New Rochelle and produced two applications; the Department of Development requested the wider posting to increase the candidate pool.

Separately, the commission established three eligible lists from recent examinations, effective for one year through April 16, 2026: Dispatch Clerk (open competitive list no. 2668), Senior Data Manager (open competitive list no. 2671) and Traffic Engineer (open competitive list no. 2674). The commission recorded the lists to be active for the one-year period cited by staff.

Staff also reviewed upcoming exam dates: April 5 (Painter Working Foreman), April 26 (police agility testing at New Rochelle High School) and May 3 (Lunchroom Manager and Food Service Manager exams at City Hall). Staff noted logistical adjustments to admissions start times to accommodate a tag sale happening in City Hall later that day.

The commission recessed into executive session earlier in the meeting; no details were disclosed on the record when it reconvened. The meeting adjourned at approximately 3:42 p.m. The commission set its next regular meeting for May 21, 2025, at 3:30 p.m.
