J. Thomay motioned to set the minimum passing score on the physical agility test to 27 out of a <br />possible 54 points, seconded by L. Zolar and unanimously approved. <br />V. NEW BUSINESS: <br />A) The Commissioners will need to make a motion on where the agility test will be <br />administered. The recommended facility is the North Olmsted Nigh School gym. The rental fee is <br />$40.99 per hour and the estimated rental time is 3 hours. The total rental fee will be $122.97. <br />E. Cummings motioned to accept the North Olmsted High School gym as the testing facility at this <br />time and accept the rental fee as stated, seconded by J. Thomay and unanimously approved. <br />B) The Commissioners will need to decide if they want to change recommended reading list for the <br />Lieutenants promotional exam. On January 15, 1999 Chief Lee from Fire Chiefs Association <br />contacted the Civil Service office indicating he received Building Construction Related to the Fire <br />Service (IFSTA), 2nd. Edition and Fire Department Company Officer (ICMA), 3rd Edition. Chief <br />Lee would like to know if the Commissioners would like to update to the newer additions. <br />Clerk O'Connell mentioned the Civil Service Office had received calls from the fire department <br />indicating they were having a hard time purchasing books and if they had already purchased any of <br />the books would they be able to return those books or exchange them for the newer editions. The <br />Clerk informed the commissioners that she had called bookstores to see if they had enough of the old <br />books and new books in stock for the candidates to purchase and what their return policy was. The <br />return policy varied, one bookstore would allow, returns only if they were still in the sealed <br />cellophane, and only if the books were in 100% resalable condition, also if the purchase date didn't <br />exceed 2 weeks. Mr. Thomay indicated that since we had sent the candidates a recommended <br />reading list we could not change the recommended reading list by adding the newer additions. Mr. <br />Cummings strongly suggested the next time we give a recommended reading list we make sure we <br />have the latest editions of the books listed. Mr. Jenkins indicated since we didn't have definite <br />information as to what the difference was between the two editions, it would be hard to speculate as <br />to how different they were. <br />E. Cummings motioned to remain with the recommended reading list as follows: Building <br />Construction Related to the Fire Service (IFSTA), 1st. Edition and Fire Department Company <br />Officer (ICMA), 2nd Edition. IN THE FRAMING OF THE MOTION: Mr. Cummings stated in <br />the future, the recommended reading list assigned for the exam be the most current editions. <br />X ADJOURNMENT: E. Cummings moved to adjourn the meeting. <br />Meeting Adjourned at, 8:OOP.M. <br />Ernest R. Cummings, Chairman <br />2 <br />O'Connell Assistant <br />of Commissions <br />
