UNOFFICIAL MINUTES OF EXECUTIVE SESSION - MEETING OF COMMISSION 2/25/87 SENIOR CENTER CLERK POSITION Regular meeting of the Civil Service Commission retired to Executive Session at 8:10 P.M. Present: Mayor Petrigac, Betsy Jack, Law Director Gareau, Commission members: Pat Bahas, Tom Stroh, Bob Wendt, Secretary, Peg Hill. Question: Betsy Jack: Would like to know the procedure—does a person need to be selected off the Civil Service list? Answer: Pat Bahas: Yes, and I would suggest in the interest of the time and money and other problems—we need to make a selection of one of the candidates off the list. We have three qualified candidates: Virginia Taylor, Nancy Tylicki and June Germ. The Commission would like you to contact a candidate in writing, with a copy sent to the Secretary of the Commission. Statement: Betsy Jack, I felt I was not given any direction. I chose the first candidate that best matched the job, she declned, and other candidates were interviewed.. Statement: Law Director Gareau, The fact that some of these people never worked with seniors..it doesn't make any difference - a clerk is a clerk is a clerk.. (some reference made to Carol Ward). Now I find the position is no longer a viable position. The Senior Center clerk is no different that a clerk in the Building Department. A reftrence that you never worked with seniors before is not a reason to not hire. If they know how to type and file - they are qualified. Again, it is not acceptable to say if you don't work with seniors you are not acceptable. Statement: Pat Bahas, The mayor has the Civil Service Rules & Regulations and she is the hiring authority, or is to appoint a designee. The procedure given is the same procedure used by Joe Schaller in the Engineering Department. He was given the names of the top three ranked candidates and made a selection after the interviews. We can't possibly do your work for you. We are already over -burdened with work and testing and our secretary simply does not have the time. We gave you the rules and regulations, you have to assume the responsibility of becoming familiar with these rules. (Reference made to page 11, Rules & Regulations Handbook:Rule III, Appointments O.R.C. 124.27.) Also, when you want someone removed from the list you need to refer to the Rules. When you are given three ranked candidates, let's say A - B - C. You interview these people, you may select B over A or C, that is allowable. You need to take what you get (explained in more detail selection process.) Statement: Betsy Jack, well I guess I will contact Nancy Tylicki and ask if she still wants the job. Statement: Pat Bahas, Then we will finish now with the understanding that you will contact a candidate and offer her the position as Clerk in the Senior Center. End of Executive Session: 8:25 P..
