CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE�MEETING - JUNE 9, 1987 - 4:00 P.M. TOWN HALL Present: Members of the commission: Pat Bahas, Tom Stroh, Bob Wendt, Secretary, Peg Hill. Discussion surrounding the active certified ranked list for clerk at the Senior Center. There is a need for three viable candidates that are interested in an interview at the center. When less than three names are certified to an appointing authority appointment from the list shall not be mandatory. (O.R.C. 124-27) Classified ads have been placed in the SUN HERALD, WESTLIFE, & CHRONICLE -TELEGRAM for the position of clerk for the City of North Olmsted. This advertising will seek qualified to test for the position and therefore establish a current certified list of clerks for.the city. The commission will endeavor to submit three names to Betsy Jack for consideration of the position existing at the senior center. If we cannot get three people interested in this position we will submit to M s. Jack two (2) names and if these people are not considered we already have the test in place. The two people interviewed will also have the option of not taking the test and throwing in their score from the previous test, in competition on whatever is arrived at as the passing score on the test to be given for clerk for the city.

Ms. Bahas related she had a twenty minute conversation with the gentlemen from the testing service to explain to him why we needed another test. She related the testing service person also stated that anyone who interviews for this job and turns it down, their option, it shouldreallYI/u not count against them. Mr. Wendt asked why? Mrs. Bahas countthat because in both cases we had a complaint on the interview system to begin with and if this is the same person that had the complaint then the testing company felt, it was his thought, you would not penalize these two people on the list. Mr. Stroh stated that in going back to the original list in the first place, how many people, for whatever purpose, felt the interview process was improper? Ms. Bahas stated there was about five of them. Mr. Stroh asked if the interview had been conducted differently would we still have a list? Ms. Bahas answered that the commission needs to understand that some of
