CIVIL' SERVICE MEETING MINUTES <br />OCTOBER 18, 1993 <br />PAGE 2 <br />Jim Hines - mentioned that the commission had talked prior to this <br />meeting and decided that they would give the typing test over to all <br />those candidates who did not pass the typing test. This test will be <br />given on IBM compatible computers (this includes the two girls who are <br />appealing). I talked to several companies on the type of test they <br />give before hiring an employee. These other companies have been giving <br />typing tests on computers. <br />Ron Wilamosky - wanted to know if even the candidates who passed the <br />typing test can re -take the test. We have a candidate who passed the <br />written and typing test and who had to rank in the top 3 to retain her <br />job. She did not rank in the top 3. We now have two employees who <br />failed the typing test and they can have another chance to remain in <br />their job by passing this second typing test, when all they had to do <br />was just pass and not rank. I feel that everyone should be able to <br />re -take the test. <br />Jim Hines - The typing test is pass/fail. It would not be necessary <br />for the candidates who passed the test to re -take the typing test. <br />It would not move any candidate up in rank. <br />Ron Wilamosky - It would change the ranking of candidates who passed <br />the written/typing tests because the candidates who will now pass the <br />second typing test will be added to the eligibility list and therefore <br />move the candidates down on the eligibility list who passed the test <br />the first time. This is not fair. <br />Mr. Gundy - Tracy could you please read the requirements from the ad <br />for this position. Tracy read the requirements from the ad and then <br />Mr. Gundy mentioned that the ad reads very clear to him on what we <br />expected from the people we tested. It does mention word processing <br />it does not say that you can have either data entry or typing. I just <br />wonder if we.are giving everyone a fair shot based on the notice that <br />was sent out. <br />Tracy Ice - mentioned that the typing teacher; Carol Stotzner, checked <br />all machines before the test. If a typewriter wasn't working <br />correctly, why didn't the candidates mention this to Mrs. Stotzner? <br />They could have been re -tested or moved to another typewriter. <br />Mike Gareau - said that what ever is fairest should be done. <br />
