CIVIL SERVICE MEETING OCTOBER 24, 1991 PAGE 3 Chief Osterhouse said that the officer who gave the polygraph test stated that he would be willing to come before the Commission, if necessary to so. Henry and Al do not feel that this officer would need to come before the commission because his letter was so informative. Henry Robinson said that Mr. Huggins has spoke with the Commission with trying to help recruit minorities in taking the Police and Fire Exams. and we will be working with Mr. Huggins along with the Safety Director. Mr. Gundy could not attend this meeting so we will wait and speak to him on the opening of a Building Inspector's full-time position and what type of test civil service needs to give. A "what you know test" will probably be given. We will also need to decide what kind of Civil Service involvement will be needed in the test which we will discuss at another meeting. Henry said that this test will be mostly oral. Henry Robinson advised everyone that the Commission will have a Special Meeting on October 29, 1991 at 5:30 pm in the Old Town Hall to discuss the upgrading of the Rules and Regulations Handbook. Al Kovelan said that there has been a lot of changes over the years that have never been officially put into the book. We have fallen behind on that unfortunately. NEW BUSINESS Al Kovelan advised everyone that as you all know our Chairman resigned and I will not make any statement on that other than to say that although the Rules and Regulations of our Commission requires only two people to perform any business, we recommend that the City Administration find us a third commissioner, as soon as possible, he or she I believe is to be a Republican. Also, due to the resignation of Mr. Wendt, the Co -Chairman of this Commission was Henry Robinson and therefore, he will become acting Chairman of this commission until such time a third commissioner is put on and then we will vote for Chairman. Al Kovelan and Henry Robinson looked over some letters from the Police Chief regarding candidates who did not pass the City's Background Investigation or Vision requirements and the Commission agreement with the Chief and recommends that these four (4) candidates be removed from Civil Service Certified List. Tracy Ice will notify them by mail as too their removal.
