CIVIL SERVICE MEETING PAGE 2 PRADCO helps to weed through and try and get the best qualified candidates. Robert Wendt will do some checking and see if,this will benefit North Olmsted. We received the results back from the Asst. Fire Chiefs exam. Greg Gettens scored the highest but declined the position and will remain on our Certified List for 2 years. William Smith scored the second highest and accepted the position. He was sworn in.on April 1, 1991. Congratulations to William Smith. Chairman Robert Wendt sat in on all three of the oral interviews. Bob said that the Ohio Fire Chief's Association asked the same questions to each candidate. He felt that there was good conversation back and forth between the chiefs and candidates, he felt that it went smoothly and that there is a definite advantage by having oral interviews and the Chiefs stuck to the book.
