OLD BUSINESS Cooperative Personnel Services is the testing company out of CA who supplied the test which we used for the Building Inspector test. One of the candidates filed a suite with the United States District Court claiming that the examination had a discriminatory impact on the charging applicant, and he is seeking relief from the Court of Jurisdiction. Ron Wilamosky asked that Civil Service get this test and will send this test to the U.S. District Court as evidence. Ron will check with. Mike Gareau to see if he can make a copy of the test. Tracy Ice will check with Ron, every so often, to see when she can get the test back to return it to CPS. No Civil Service was advised by Mr. Gundy that we should wait until the fall to see when to give the Dispatcher Exam. The Building Inspector test will be given next year. Secretarial II test was given on June 7, 1993. Forty-one candidates were expected and only 37 showed up. One candidate was late. The commission went over the results at our June 21, 1993 meeting. They set the passing score at 65%. Twenty-nine candidates passed the test and 8 failed. All of the results went out on June 24, 1993. The typing test is scheduled for July 20, 1993 at 7:00 pm at the N. Olmsted High School Typing Room #363. All 29 candidates have been notified to take this test. This test will consist of practice time, three five minute timings, candidates will then proof the three timings and will place their best timing on top. Carol Stotzner (high school typing teacher) will administer the test and grade them. She will count the correct wpm - one point will be deducted for each error. Each candidate must type 45 wpm or better to remain on our eligibility list. Carol Stotzner will charge $100 to administer and grade this tests. The Commission looked over the test the night of the exam. and was surprised to see that there was no grammar, spelling or punctuation. Before another test will be given, the commission would like to check out other testing companies or speak to McCann & Associates with adding grammar, spelling and punctuation to be a part of this test. Ron Wilamosky agreed that Civil Service should make this change that this is an important part of a secretaries job.
