CIVIL SERVICE MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 17, 1992 PAGE 2 OLD BUSINESS Hiring practices for North Olmsted. Mr. Gundy said to invite the Mayor, Mike Gareau, Ron Wilamosky to the next civil service meeting to review the classified/non-classified positions. Jim Hines asked that this be the first on the agenda and the meeting will be held at 4:30 pm on January 28, 1993 in the Caucus Room at City Hall. Special letters will be going out asking that these people attend and that they bring any related material with them. Ernest Cummings of the High School said he spoke to Mr. Gareau and Mr. Gareau said that the City and Counsel has nothing to do with if the High School should continue to have civil service testing for certain positions. Mr. Cummings felt that it would be in the best interest to do away with civil service because the school has 13 secretaries that fall under civil service testing. Pat Harrison mentioned that these secretaries deal with children and parents regarding abuse, drugs, suicide etc. which can happen anytime of the day. Each day is different. These secretaries need to keep themselves under control. It's not like all they do is type all day. Civil Service can test for this position and hire someone who can handle the office yet how can you test for people working with people? These secretaries must be able to work with people. Jim Hines said that he will talk to Mike Gareau and limit our jurisdiction to testing for city employees only and Mike can then handle the paperwork. Jim Hines will also check with Dennis Allen and see what Westlake and Rocky River did when they did away with the secretarial civil service testing. Jim Hines made the motion to do away with the civil service secretarial testing for the High School ASAP. Glenn Marks seconded the motion. Once this has been done, Ernest Cummings will be notified. NEW BUSINESS Tracy Ice will call some cities that are the same size. as North Olmsted and see how much there commissioners get paid for their meetings. She'll be contact Lakewood, Cleveland Heights, Euclid and Garfield.
