CIVIL SERVICE MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 22, 1992 PAGE 2 OLD BUSINESS Mr. Marks said that he would like to talk to Janet and see what her qualifications really are. Mr. Hines advised Tracy Ice to contact Janet and invite her to our next meeting (the Commissioners would like to speak with her). If she does not attend our next meeting, then her name will be removed from our list. The Civil Service Commission would like to add a page to our application package for EEO purposes. At our meeting Chief Sefcek, Chief Osterhouse, Mr. Gundy, J. Hines and G. Marks all approved this page to be added to the package. The Mayor will be sent a copy and the Commission will await his approval/disapproval. This form does not have any bearing on the test results and it is voluntary. At this time no secretarial test is scheduled for the City. NEW BUSINESS Chief Sefcek feels strongly that we shouldgive oral/written exams. for promotional vacancies in his department. We haven't had the opportunity to go this route in the past. The Chief would like to use the Ohio Assoc. of the Chief of Police for his promotional test. For the Sergeant's test we could have around 40 people taking this test. For promotionals we should give the written part of the test and then take the top so many people who passed the test and give an oral exam. When you get to the higher ranked positions, you can give different percentages for the oral and written portions. The Fire Department, when giving the lieutenant test, was given a written McCann's test and then no oral exam. was given. The Commission would like to invite 3 (three) other testing companies to our next meeting who give oral/written testing for promotional examinations. Tracy will notify the testing companies and invite:- them to our meeting. We will have 3 promotional exams. needed for the Police Department and we would like to begin the testing procedures as soon as possible. Chief Osterhouse felt that the Commission should look into whether we should use St. John and West Shore's Physical Agility testing site for Fire entire level exams. Tracy will look into the cost and procedures by talking to Westlake's Civil Service which has used them in the past and St. John West Shore Hospital.
