Coulee Dam’s Civil Service Commission is up and running.

Mayor Greg Wilder made the third appointment to the three-member commission last week, naming Joe Tynan.

The commission will be involved in the hiring of police.

The three members are Councilmember Shawn Derrick, Tynan and Herb Sherburne. Kandy Merriman was named secretary.

The commission’s first order of business will be the selection of the town’s third police officer.

The town started advertising for its third officer last week.
