r CIVIL SERVICE MEETING - 3/24/88 Page#5 be interested in part time and if then if a full time opens up—Madeline: Wendt: That clarifies our direction then we can move, you know it's been so quasi, we don't know which way to go and all we're trying to do is service to make sure the lists are available when you need personnel - realizing that finances are always a problem but then that's going to ease up someday. Wendt: Let's see what else do we have; I know we have on our agenda this - you did work with Peg on this announcement. Marsh: Is that for the patrolman. Wendt: Yes. Marsh: We sent our suggestions. Wendt: We're going to review that I haven't had a chance to do that yet but I'll get back to you it looks, there seems to be, I'm just wondering if we could cut it down to lower print. I don't know what the papers charge these days for printing an add. Marsh: It's kind of expensive I'm sure but hopefully the way it would be laid out there we would save the money down the line and holding our applicants to those that should be applying as opposed to the ones that shouldn't. Wendt: I see you got everying in here the processing fee..O.K. of course we get into the vision requirement which is good. Marsh: I think thats a handout with the application. Madeline: A week ago remember we said we might have some more up front costs but that ultimately..Wendt: Well, we'll review that ad and get out as soon as we can because that's something we're going to discuss and .seeing that Tom's not here I'm going to hold back on that one just a little bit and then we'll hold another session on it because we want to have input on it and work with it.

Marsh: That's in your rules. Wendt: That's in the Rules & Regulations and you're still in that time frame. You have not changed from that particular border. Marsh: No, and that is by the commissions Rules & Regulations. Wendt: Of course, the vision requirement is no problem, we understand that. Van Kuren: You don't have to be in that boundary to take an exam. Wendt: No, I think they have to move back in within a period of time, what is it a year? Marsh: One year. Wendt: That just makes common sense in a way because they have to be available.. Madeline: Does the fire department have the same boundary. Marsh: Same boundary. Wendt: I just wanted to verify that before we publish that in the ad. We may not publish that it may come out in the information to the applicant that if he does get accepted he will, have to consider moving within that boundary area. We want to make sure we're on sure footing on that one too because there's so many things that we just pick up the pieces and then we get tromped on and we want to make sure with you that that is exactly what you are still functioning under and the same way with you Chief (Van Kuren). Now, did we have anything else that you were going to ask us particulary . Marsh: In relation to the letter that I sent you. The first item deals with the psycholigical examination and as I
