the candidates, since the test will be given on March 3rd, there wouldn't be enough time to send out for more candidates. Mr. Thomay questioned if there would be enough taking the test. The clerk responded "yes", but the Board would be charged for the full 25 candidates regardless. Ms. Zolar questioned whether all deadlines had been passed for the candidates to respond. The clerk responded that there were a few candidates who still had a few days left before the deadline. J. Thomay motioned to approve the report as written. The motion was seconded by L. Zolar and unanimously approved. IV. OLD BUSINESS: V. NEW BUSINESS: The Board needs to review Chapters 1 and 2 of the Civil Service Handbook. Mr. Thomay indicated there were a few typos in Chapters 1 and 2 of the Civil Service Handbook. In chapter 1, section 2, 2nd paragraph on the last line, original was misspelled "origional" and delegate was misspelled "deligate." In section 4, paragraph 7, line 5, "updated" should be update. In section 5 in the Columbus address, East "Board" Street should be East "Broad" Street. Mr. Thomay questioned that in section 7 regarding the correspondences where the Clerks are referred to as Clerk of Commissions, the manual refers to the title as a Secretary. The Clerk indicated that with the Civil Service meetings, they are referred to as Civil Service Secretaries and with the other Boards they are referred to as the Clerk of Commissions. Mr. Thomay indicated that the titles should be synonymous and uniform. The clerk indicated that the Civil Service Board and the Board of Commissions dealt with separate issues so two titles were needed. Mr. Thomay questioned if the address listed for the Civil Service Laws updates remains the same. The clerk indicated she would check into it. Mr. Thomay questioned that in chapter 2, section 1, does elector suggest voter or resident of the City of North Olmsted. He indicated this needs to be cleared up. Mr. Thomay then questioned what is meant by "no member can succeed himself." Mr. Thomay indicated that an elected person isn't succeeding himself if he is taking over another's term and then running for a separate term. Mr. Thomay questioned whether a new chairman is elected in December or January and it was decided it was January. Mr. Thomay indicated that in Chapter 2, section 2, a2, the reference to the North Olmsted City School District should be removed since Civil Service no longer makes appointments for non -teaching positions. In section 2 bl, Mr. Thomay indicated the Handbook does not say whether monthly meetings are necessary. Ms. Zolar indicated that a possible reason for the lack of number of meetings listed is due to the fact that special meetings can be called when needed. Mr. Thomay indicated there is a provision for special meetings in b4, which again states that it is up to the Chairman to call such meetings. Mr. Thomay indicated that how notice is given and who is notified should be reflected in the Handbook.
