The last test was given on May 10, 1989. Chief <br />Vankuren will let the commission know if another dispatcher <br />test needs to be given after the background investigations. <br />The question of should credit be given for police/fire candidates <br />for paramedic and educational backgrounds along with military? <br />The answer was.the system as of -now is working so let's leave <br />as is based on the contract. <br />NEW BUSINESS: <br />Commissioner Henry Robinson felt that we should lower the passing <br />scores for police/fire candidates so that we can hire more minorities. <br />Some people felt that we only want the best qualified people or <br />should I say the people who scored the highest in our jobs.. Henry <br />thought that if we do not lower the scores and hire minorities <br />now that later on down the road we will be told to hire some <br />and have to reschedule another test to be taken instead of <br />just trying to weed through our list now. As of this time, <br />we do not know how many minorities passed the written police <br />test and how many will be taking the agility test. Henry thought <br />it would save us time and money. Ron Wilamosky and Tracy Ice <br />will look into getting names of area newspapers who focuses on where <br />minorities live. <br />Should credit be given to a police candidate who did not have <br />his DD214 form? The form which this person sent in is an AF -100 <br />which is for the Air Force and is the same as a DD214 form. This <br />candidate has two years of inactive service left. Therefore, <br />credit was given to this candidate. and he,will be able-to.take <br />the agility test. <br />
