:4-1 <br />CIVIL SERVICE <br />SEPTEMBER 18, <br />PAGE 3. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />MEETING MINUTES <br />1995 <br />Chief Osterhouse would like to make an addition to the Rules and <br />Regulations Handbook stating that: "PARAMEDICS MUST HAVE MAINTAINED <br />APPROPRIATE CONTINUING EDUCATION TRAINING HOURS.AS MANDATED BY THE <br />STATE OF OHIO FOR E.M.T. - PARAMEDIC RECERTIFICATION". The <br />Commission said that we will make this change to the handbook.and send <br />copies out to people who have the handbook and ask that they replace <br />this page with the old page. This will be done in the next few days. <br />There was some discussion as to when should we give the next Fire <br />Exam. Jim Hines felt that the earliest we could give this test would <br />be between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although, if we want top <br />applicants, he felt that we should wait til after Christmas to give <br />the test. This would also help with the budget situation for 19.95. <br />Therefore, the Commission decided to give the test within the first <br />two weeks of February 1996. <br />Chief Osterhouse said that he has some people eligible to retire and <br />that he hopes that he wouldn't have to run his department short <br />handed. <br />Chief Osterhouse mentioned that the Fire -Chief's Association is in the <br />process of developing an agility test which would be given at the Fire <br />Academy at Cuyahoga Community College. This person would go intake <br />the test and receive certification prior to taking the written exam. <br />and the candidates would have to pay for the agility themselves. This <br />is based on -combat challenge. This might also be something that the <br />commission would like -to look into. Chief Osterhouse said that we <br />should stay with St. John & West Shore for now but in the future we <br />might want to consider looking into this Fire Chief's Association <br />Agility Test. <br />When the Chief gets the paper work on the Agility�Test�he will forward <br />it to Civil Service. Jim Hines said that the Commission would look <br />into this after it has been developed. <br />Chief Osterhouse would also like -to <br />Exams. to review.
