N.O. CIVIL SERVICE MEETING - February 1990 Page #4 The Fire Chief also requested he be given a copy of the Report sent to us by the testing company covering the test administered. He would be interested in seeing these test results as it would assist him during the interview process or ultimately in the final selection. The commission notified the Fire Chief that we would contact the testing company and quiz them on this matter. The Fire Chief related this had been done previously; however, none of the commissioners nor the secretary has given out Report copies during their tenure on the commission. Mr. Bohlmann asked the question what was the commissions viewpoint on releasing names for background checks. Tom Stroh replied we had discussed this earlier and presently we are awaiting word from the Law Director (the letter was sent January 30, 1990). Much discussion again surfaced regarding the Dispatcher test. Mr. Wilamosky asked questions regarding the hiring of provisional employees. CO14XISSION SECRETARY SALARY: Discussion regarding the hourly rate for the commission secrertary based on the fact that the work week consisted of 20 hours and that some of this work can be done at home, i.e. typing of commission minutes and updating certified civil service lists. Approximately 12 to 15 hours per week is accomplished in the civil sevice office area. The secretary informed the commission that there were work weeks consisting of 25 and 30 hours, especially during a heavy testing period, and there was no overtime nor benefits paid. Tom Stroh will draft a statement to be signed or initialed by the candidate that the secretary position is for 20 hours per week.
