Rule 1: Section I(c) Notice of entry-level examinations: Mr. Thomay indicated he would check with Chief Ruple and the Law Department to see if hiring from an expired list is legal. Chief Bak indicated he would be concerned with using an expired list, as when you get farther down the list, the less eligible candidates there will be. He suggested he would rather wait until another list is established to hire from. Rule II: Section 2: Nature of examination: Mr. Thomay indicated he would check with Chief Ruple on equality of manual skills amongst candidates. Mr. Farrell indicated that with the last Lieutenants Promotional Exam, one of the candidates had past experience with an area in which the other three candidates did not have. He indicated that the Chief of Police and Fire, should be able to look at the exam previous to giving the exam to rule out inequality on what is being tested. A paragraph needs to be added addressing the Promotional Exams in this section. Rule II Section 3: Vision Standards: Mr. Thomay suggested this section is not written correctly and that a consultation with an eye doctor would be wise.
