In all other areas the Commission agrees with.proposed changes with the exception that notice would be posted in conspicuous areas regarding changes of Clerk/Typist and Office Assistant to Secretary II so that responses could be directed to the Civil Service Commission.

NEW BUSINESS: Removal of Kenneth Delfing - Police Candidate - Since Mr. Delfing was already in attendance at the meeting, Secretary Westerfeld informed the Commission Members that Mr. Delfing had been removed from the certified list due to inability to pass the visual physical examination.

Secretary Westerfeld also explained that Mr. Delfing had requested in writing a review by the Commission and had brought the letter to the meeting, but that since Mr. Delfing was already in presence, we would go ahead with review. Mr. Delfing stated that since he has no problem with his present position of Patrolman with Olmsted Falls Police Department, it should be no problem for him to work for North Olmsted. The condition has never affected his job and his Chief of Police would so state. Dr. Huffman stated that the problem of color blindness is not the only problem and that since he is 23/50 in both eyes without corrective lenses, he also would not,pass on that point since the standard for North Olmsted without corrective lenses is 20/40.

He also stated that Mr. Delfing in every way was an ideal candidate but that the Commission had to follow the rules set down and they are not discretionary to the Commission. At this point Mr. Delfing thanked the Commission and left.
