Hiring Process and Benefits 

The City accepts applications for posted positions only. Employment applications for open positions are accepted during the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday through Friday.  If a closing date is specified on a posting, applications must be received by 5:00pm on the closing date.

Employment applications received are reviewed for qualifications and forwarded to the hiring department for consideration.  Applicants chosen for an interview will be notified by the Human Resources Department either by telephone or by mail.  Those applicants who are not chosen to continue further in the selection process will be notified by mail.

If a conditional offer of employment is extended by the City, the following steps are taken:
