CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NORTH OLMSTED, 0141O NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MEETING - MAY 13, 1987 Present: Commission members: Pat,Bahas, Tom Stroh, Bob Wendt, Secretary, Peg Hill. This meeting was rescheduled due to Decoration Day holiday. OLD BUSINESS Commissioners agreed after considerable discussion on an 18 month probationary period for entry level police officers rather than the present 12 month period. This ruling does not effect those competing and ranking on a police promotional examination. (change will be reflected in civil service rules). Evaluation of the various testing companies was discussed. Civil service secretary will poll the group of secretaries at a luncheon she will be attending this week to find out the names of some of the companies they are using for the various tests. State Board of Review form was completed and returned to the state. This report was sent in late and a phone call was placed requesting an extension of time be allowed to complete the form. The form needed fill-in information from various directors, both within the city and schools. The secretary of the commission informed the commissioners that this report was not returned by the Safety Director; however, the Service Director did complete both his portion and that of the Safety Director. The Finance Director for the city completed his portion of the form satisfactorily. The matter of the typing test for clerks and secretaries already in the position they were qualifying for came up for discussion. Commissioners ruled that the two ladies, one at the schools and the other in the office of the police department would not have to take the typing test. They would have to pass the written test. However, the civil service commission did rule that candidates in the future will be required to take and pass ALL qualifying tests. (change will be reflected in civil service rules).
