-2 - CITY OF NORTH OLMSTE® MINUTES f CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION OCTOBER 28, 1982 NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO 2. Financial Status of Civil Service Fund. The secretary reported that she had talked with Finance Director, Edward Boyle. However, he had pre- pared an ordinance for a transfer of money from the General Fund to the Civil Service Fund if a deficit arose before the end of the year. He stated that the revenue from the Processing Fees had been allocated to the Civil Service Fund returning it to a solvent status. Regarding the Commissioners' request for a review and consideration of increasing the payment members on the Civil Service receive, the secretary reported that she had not received either an acknowledgment or a response. It is her understanding that Council took no action. She suggested that before making a second request, it would be helpful if other civil service areas be contacted to see if there is any specific pattern or policy for com- pensating the Civil Service Commissioners. The Commission directed her to do so. New Business 1. Appeal to Disciplinary Suspension. Consideration was given to Frank Maurer's request for a hearing regarding a five-day suspension from his position as a bus driver. After studying the facts of the circumstances leading to the suspension and receiving explanations from Mr. Terbrack and Service Director, Joseph P. Corrigan, the Commission decided that the suspension was neither inappropriate nor excessive. Therefore in accord- ance with the November 2, 1980 amendment to Rule IX, Sect. 1, the hearing was denied. 2. Amendment to Rule IV, Sect. #5 (b). Consideration was given to Patrol- man Robert E. Clute's written request for a variance to the "three year service policy" required for eligibility for the promotional exam for Police Sergeant. Chief Taylor explained the background for the policy. Commissioner Alexander, seconded by Commissioner Huffman moved that Rule IV, Sect. 5, sub -section (b), paragraphs two and three be amended as follows: Promotion to the position of Police Sergeant from the rank of Patrolman shall require the candidate to have completed three years service in the North Olmsted Police Dept., at the time the test is taken.
