CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO MINUTES September 22,1983 Minutes-Sept.2218 -2- Old Business (continued) discussion the suggested titles for the positions were as follows: Clerl -typ i st Clerk -accountant Secretary The police clerical staff classification was thought to be.properly titled by Chief Taylor , but the classification did not seem to re- flect the unique working circumstances of the department. The ques- tion was raised as to whether the Commission includes a determination as to which position requires the greater skills and thus a higher classified level. Such a,determination wouldform a classified guideline for promotional and salary purposes. The Commission recognizes the power of council to determine the salaries given to employees but directed the secretary to request a legal opinion from the city law diector regarding the heirachy of responsibility and skill levels. The case in point in this discussion seemed to be the feeling of the directors of the Finance and Purchasing Depts. that the position of Clerk -accountant required a greater skill level than that of Clerk -typist, and that the secretarial position de- manded evn greater skills and abilities. Until such time as the opinion was rendered by the Law Director, the classification of the city clerical staff would have the new classification of Clerk -Accountant which would be descriptive of those workers dealing primarily with financial and bookkeeping matters.
