NEW BUSINESS: A) The'Police Sergeants Assessment test was held on March 14, 1998. OACP Advisory Services Division administered the test. Two officers had protests, the first protest concerned a candidate not being given the right amount of time to prepare for the oral presentation. The second officers protest is requesting the filing date of seniority points protest be changed, and that he be allowed to use seniority points from the Cleveland Clinic Police Department. The commission needs to make a decision on both the above protests filed. Mr. Cummings stated since one of the officers that filed a protest is present we should hear his protest first if it is agreeable, I will let you state your protest first if you don't mind so we can hear your protest make a decision and move on, would you like to come up. Mr. Hughes stated my protest is concerning awarding another candidate his seniority points for prior police appointment, I also have prior police employment prior to my hire date. Mr. Cummings stated wear were you at. Mr. Hughes stated I was at the Cleveland Clinic Department. Mr. Cummings inquired as to what Mr. Hughes did at the Cleveland Clinic Department. Mr. Hughes stated policeman. Mr. Cummings stated is Cleveland Clinic part of the Ohio State Charter. Mr. Hughes stated yes the Cleveland Clinic police department is chartered in authority by the state of Ohio, and is an official police department apposed to just a security department. Mr. Thomay stated in a letter from the assistant the Cleveland Clinic Commander was to fax the information about weather they are Civil.Service, and if so what Mr. Hughes points were. Mrs. Rote stated I never got a fax from the commander. Mr. Cummings stated what did the Commander have to say about this. Mrs. Rote stated the Commander said he would fax over whether his department was part of the Civil Service or not or if their organization fell under Civil Service jurisdiction, and if it did he would send over the seniority points, but we never received a fax from the Commander on Friday. Mr. Cummings stated maybe Mr. Hughes could shed some light on this for us. Mr. Hughes stated it is not a Municipal Police Department so I. do not think it is going to fall under the Civil Service laws or regulations, however it is a State Chartered Police Department, like Cleveland State University Police Department, and Cuyahoga County Community Collage Police Department, there are several Police Departments although they may not be Civil Service they are bonafide police departments. Mr. Cummings asked Mr. Hughes did you take the actual OPOTA training test that
