After council approval to advertise for the above-noted position, <br />a job vacancy advertisement was placed in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The <br />application period was from May 19, through June 9, 2000. Fifteen <br />applications were received for the position. The applications were reviewed to <br />select the candidates who met the minimum qualifications as set forth in the <br />job vacancy announcement. Eleven candidates met the minimum <br />qualifications and a letter was sent out stating the next step in the hiring <br />process, which consisted of a fire inspector's test given by the Anoka Vo-Tech <br />and held at the Elk River Fire Department.

As stated in the letter to the eligible testing candidates, the test <br /> consisted of eighty questions and the candidates were able to bring any <br /> reference material with them to help in completing the test. All of the test <br /> candidates were aware that the minimum score to move forward in the hiring <br /> process was eighty percent or better. <br /> <br /> Three of the eight candidates attained a score of eighty percent or better and <br /> were interviewed for the position.
