Bryan Tyler and Mark Adams applications and make a ruling whether or not their applications are acceptable. Mr. Thomay asked the clerk to review why Mr. Adams application packet should not be accepted. The clerk reviewed that Mr. Adams claimed he was entitled to college credit, but a copy of his diploma was not in the application packet. The clerk called Mr. Adams to inform him she needed a copy of his diploma. Mr. Adams informed the clerk that he never received a diploma, but if she totaled the hours on the transcripts submitted they would equal the time it takes for a diploma. The clerk then informed Mr. Adams she could not accept the claim for college credit, as he did not have a diploma. Mr. Adams called the clerk back the same day and informed her he wanted his money back as he no longer wanted to take the North Olmsted test. The clerk informed Mr. Adams that she would need to have the board make a ruling on returning his money as he falsified documents in his application. Mr. Thomay indicated that under Rule VI section 3 D of the handbook it states; Any false information provided, or material omissions made, on an application or during an examination or interview, constitutes just cause for disqualification of the applicant. J. Thomay motioned to reject Mark Adams application on the grounds that he wishes his application removed and further grounds that his application contains false information. - Applicant is hereby notified that he is not eligible to take the entry level Police test.
