Human Resources

When a position is open it is listed on the Website and on the job hotline. On the website you can review the job requirements and apply for the job by filling out an application and submitting it. You may also send us a resume. We only collect applications for open positions or continuous Recruitment positions which will be listed on the website. All applications are collected and processed through Human Resources. Job applications are not collected by individual departments.

Unless specified with a close date for accepting applications jobs are “open till filled.” This means that as we receive the applications we review the applications that meet minimum qualifications for the position. When we receive enough applications for a department to do an initial review we send applications to a department.

For our small city this is particularly difficult because sometimes we receive dozens or hundreds of applications for a position. Those individuals who the department has interest in are usually initially phone interviewed and then asked to come in for face to face interview process. Individuals who are asked to participate in interviews are phoned to let them know if they received the position. Unfortunately at this time we do not have any electronic means for applicants to check on the status of their application.

If you are given an employment offer the terms of the offer are extended to you in writing for your signature and approval. All offers are contingent upon satisfactorily completing the background review specific to that job. That might include verifying state licenses, educational credentials, and other appropriate screening processes such as any drug tests or medical exams.

By filing an on-line application through the website or in person at the HR office you can submit an application to volunteer and become a member of the City’s Community Volunteer Corps. Your application will then be discussed with the department(s) that you have expressed an interest in volunteering or who could use your skills. If there is an interest at the department level a phone call and or interview will be set up to meet you and discuss the assignment. Please remember that these are strictly volunteer positions with no salary and benefits and no tie in for any future employment.
