N. 0. CIVIL SERVICE MEETING PAGE 2 Chief Sefcek and Ron Wilamosky both would like a list of police candidates who passed the police exam. Chief Sefcek wanted to start the background investigations and try and eliminate any candidates who would be eliminated later (due to lack of time - the Police Chief has 6 openings and the agility test is scheduled a month after the written test was given due to the North Olmsted High School gym was not available until May 19). The commission decided to give the Chief the top 20 names in random order so that he could start the investigations. Tom Stroh strongly hesitated about giving the list to anyone because of the concern of obtaining the spirit of the civil service laws. Ron Wilamosky was not given a list. After the agility test is given then the list is for public record. Chief Sefcek said that when a candidate is taken off the eligibility list it is the commission who takes them off the list, the police/fire departments just suggest that this candidate should be removed and gives us the reason why. The candidate can then appeal, but then the reason that candidate is taken off the list is then public record and the candidates usually do not want that. Ron Wilamosky mentioned about eliminating the military points for the exams because people have not been drafted for a while and if they go into the military it is on their own free will - so why should we deprive individuals who made the decision to go to collet from getting extra credit points too. Ron feels that we are passing up othergood candidates by not giving them the points. The commission decided to leave as is and military credit will still be given credit. ADJOURNMENT: As there was no further matters to be brought before the commission, the meeting adjourned at 5:20 pm. 4Rot :•lendt, Commissioner Tracy Ice, Secretary
