new wording. Mr. Jenkins requested a chance to read both the old wording and the recommended change before giving his opinion. Mr. Jenkins was given a sheet with both the old wording and the new to read. Mr. Jenkins suggested leaving the new wording under section 4 paragraph 7, and add "and/or" to the new sentence. Mr. Jenkins suggested the new wording should not be separate from section 4 paragraph 7. When you read section 4 paragraph 7 it discusses purchasing the manual, so the added fee for other documents fits in naturally. Mrs. Zolar stated she agreed with Mr. Jenkins that the new wording should stay in the paragraph, but the paragraph itself should be separate from paragraph 7's. The paragraph that covers the cost of the manual should be paragraph 8, and then change paragraph 8 to read as paragraph 9. The clerk reviewed the suggestion that was made and asked for a motion on the issue. E. Cummings motioned to make the suggested changes to chapter 1 section 4 paragraphs" 7, 8, and add a paragraph 9. Mr. Cummings asked the clerk to read the wording as it will appear in the handbook. The clerk stated the handbook will read as follows: (7).

The handbook will be distributed to each Director and each Director may be permitted to provide. the Commission suggestions to amend the manual. Any amendments to the Rules and Regulations must be made by a majority vote of Commission members at a regular public meeting. Upon. the amendment of any Rule and Regulation, the Secretary shall updated the manual. Copies of the amended and updated manual and/or amended page(s) of the Rules and Regulations manual shall then be provided to all Directors and Department Heads.

The general public may obtain a copy of the Civil Service Handbook, Minutes, and/or any other public documents pertaining to Civil Service, by giving the Secretary to the Commission reasonable notice and paying over to the Secretary to the Commission a sum of twenty five ($ 0.25) cents per single sided page. Payment should be made by money order or certified check, payable to the City of North Olmsted. (9). It is assumed that the above guidelines require a working knowledge of both the Ohio Revised Code and the North Olmsted City Charter provisions relating to civil service. The motion was seconded by J. Thomay and unanimously approved. V. NEW BUSINESS: A) The board members need to discuss the recommendations received regarding new employees (ie. Firefighter/Police) being allowed to bring their seniority points earned from other Civil Service departments outside North Olmsted to their new position with the City of North Olmsted. The board will also need to discuss the suggestions made by the Personal Director, and the graduation dates of the Paramedic and Ohio Peace officer training certification classes.
