OLD BUSINESS Police Promotional Sergeant's examination is scheduled for January 18, 1993 at the Community Cabin at 9:00 am. There are 18 candidates who will be taking the written test. Clancy & Associates will be administering the test. The Commission decided that they will give 75% for the written portion and 25% for the assessment portion. Glenn Marks said that he would like to attend this test and see how it goes and report back to the Commission. Chief Sefcek said that the Academy has been reduced to 2 openings each year. Mr. Gundy mentioned that he did not feel it was necessary for the Police Department to give a Physical Agility test. Chief Sefcek does not recall anyone being washed out of the academy due to not passing the physical part at the Academy. Chief Sefcek also mentioned that 5 other local cities are talking about when running a physical agility test to run one test for all 5 of the local cities. Chief Sefcek is to get back with the other cities and tell them that the Commission was interested in looking into this type of testing. For example: a candidate could be on three different city lists but only be given a professional agility test once. Chief Sefcek feels that if all five commissions agree, that this may be the route the local police departments will take. Chief Sefcek will keep the commission up dated. Jim Hines mentioned that he did not feel that we were qualified to give the physical agility test. Therefore, he hopes to go with St. John & West Shore's Physical Agility Test or that we should use the procedure that Chief Sefcek mentioned in the previous paragraph. Jim Hines wants Tracy Ice to call St. John and West Shore and see what the minimum amount -of candidates that could be tested for the agility test. They said they usually test 70 candidates but then we would have to find our own facility. We could test 20-30 candidates and then use their facility.
