CITY OF NORTH O STED Minutes CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION August 25, 1983 NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO Under both the Ohio Revised Code and the North Olmsted City Charter, the City of North Olmsted is responsible for the selection of the Commission and the funding of its operations. In both areas, the tD School Board has neither jurisdiction nor responsibility. The Commission secretary pointed out, however, that the Ohio Revised Code does provide for expense sharing under Section 124.54. This section states that the Board of Education in the form of a resolution can submit funds to the city Finance Director in the amount that would reflect the proportionate ratio between the number of the school's Civil Service Employees and those of the city. Most School Boards, however, are reluctant to employ this option because the proportion their of cost is -usually less than the ratio of Civil Service Employees would indicate. The suggestion was made that the cost of the Postal deposit box,as well as a portion of the secretarial salary,might be requested of the Board to more equitably deal with the rising costs of Civil Service operations which deal with both the school and the city governments. Mrs. Bahas stated that with the increasing complexity of handling the hundreds of applications and accompanying letters and forms for the various tests,one hour per weekday or the ten hours upon which her bi-monthly salary is based,is totally unrealistic. This suggestion regarding the School Board to pay a share of the secretarial services would enable a more realistic recognition of the hours needed to perform the job. It would also keep additional costs to both governments at a fair, but minimal.level.
