The two items identify different tests and different public-safety jobs. The posted agenda provides the exam dates and proposed certification actions, which let applicants and other readers track the right decision after the meeting. Individual names on eligibility materials are unnecessary to explain the public business and are omitted here. What matters for this guide is whether the commission certifies each list and what the resulting public record says about those actions.
Proposed promotion and entrance exams
The commission is also scheduled to consider calling a police-sergeant promotional examination and a firefighter entrance examination. Under item 6C, the proposed police-sergeant promotional examination and assessment process would address a vacancy and/or establish a list. Item 6D concerns calling a firefighter entrance examination to address a vacancy and/or establish a list. The agenda presents both as requests for commission action, rather than exams already called by this meeting.
These proposed exams sit at a different stage from the October eligibility lists. Items 6A and 6B concern whether to certify lists following exams already held; items 6C and 6D concern whether to call another promotional or entrance process. Applicants should therefore watch for a decision on the particular item relevant to them. The agenda does not turn a proposed exam into a scheduled test simply by listing it for discussion and possible action.
Seniority histories and other business
Items 6E and 6F ask the commission to consider certifying updated police and fire seniority histories, respectively. Those histories are distinct from the entrance-exam eligibility lists: the agenda gives them their own item numbers and certification questions. The public decision to watch is whether each updated history is certified. This guide does not reproduce individual employment histories or infer a personnel outcome from their placement on the agenda.
Item 4A asks the commission to approve the minutes of its Oct. 6 meeting. Items 1 through 3 and 8 cover the call to order, roll call, presentations and adjournment; the agenda identifies no presentation. The agenda also lists a possible executive session under cited legal authorities. That notice describes a possible closed portion of the meeting, not a public action or a result. Any later public action would need to be checked against the meeting's outcome record.
Attend and follow the decisions
The commission is scheduled to meet at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 550 Landa St., New Braunfels. Item 5 provides citizen communications for nonagenda concerns and says the commission cannot act on those comments at that time. The agenda does not describe a separate item-specific testimony procedure. People seeking an accessibility aid are directed to contact the City Secretary at (830) 221-4010 at least two workdays before the meeting.
The next verification point is the commission's Nov. 10 meeting record: it should show the disposition of each proposed list certification, exam call and seniority-history certification. Readers can use the numbered items in the official Nov. 10 agenda to match any subsequent action to the specific proposal they are tracking. Public comments and any recorded response should likewise be assessed from the meeting record after the session.
