CIVIL SERVICE MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 18, 1993 PAGE 4 Ronald Janetzke - Is the Commission going to change their probation period rules from 2 years to 6 months to go along with the union? If the commission makes the change now, then the two -candidates would have been employed for 6 months and they will have met your probation period. Glenn Marks - this will be changed but not until this secretarial situation is completed. Jim Hines - the Commission is committed to trying to do this in the fairest way. We do not want to change the rules after the test was given. AT THIS POINT, THE UNION REPRESENTATIVES, HOLLY KISH AND SANDRA STUART MET PRIVATELY. Ronald Janetzke - Our preference is to put on the testimony so that you can see that the documents might be sufficient in changing your mind. Holly Kish - Works in the service garage as a secretary II. A complete set of documents that Holly does has been distributed to the Commission to review. She received all necessary paper work to advise her of the test that she had to take and pass to retain her job. Holly said that she had problems with the typewriter on her second letter during the test. After that, Holly knew she messed up and then did not pay attention for the rest of the test. This was a typewriter malfunction. The equipment inventory form is a list that Holly designed. Holly makes the entire form and then puts the information in herself. Holly keeps other inventories as well as other forms like the fuel watch program - at the end of the month we print out how much fuel has been used, which is mostly figures. Holly also does an annual summary for replacing new equipment. -This is another form I made up and filled in. I do 99-100% of my work on the computer. I have typed specifications and little memos but no letters. Jim Hines - do you think it is fair to say that secretaries should be able to type? Holly Kish - I do feel that that is fair. I feel that you should look at punctuation and grammar. We were not tested on any of this along with format. Mike Gareau - did you have a chance to look at the job description before taking the test. Holly said YES. Do you feel that the job that you have now follows the description you had read? Holly said NO.
