f Mr. Thomay questioned if the clerk was present in the room. Mrs. Rote indicated that she was present and assured the board that no one came in the room to go to the bathroom. An intercom announcement was made to let the workers coming in from the road know not to enter the room and it was heard in the testing room. She left the testing room to ask that the intercom be turned off or down so that it would not be heard in the testing room. One man on duty came into the room to turn down the volume or turn it off.

Mr. Robertson indicated that Mrs. Rote's recollection was correct one worker came in the room to turn off the speaker. Mrs. Rote thought the worker came in the room two times at most. Mr. Thomay questioned if any of the testing candidates voiced any complaints or made any comments. Mrs. Rote indicated that only one candidate voice that he thought the room was a bit cold as he was leaving. She then turned down the air conditioner. Mr. Thomay questioned why that room was used. Mrs. Rote reviewed that when a new testing date was being set, she found that the usual testing locations were not available for use. The Safety Director suggested using the upstairs employee's room as it was large and had 6 -tables available for the candidates. However after the date was set she sent out an e-mail announcing that the room would be used and she would need to have access to the room through the Finance Department. The secretary in the service garage instructed her that Civil Service would not have access through the finance department after working hours. The date of the meeting the weather was such that to get to the room the candidates would have to go out in the inclement weather to get to the room. Therefore, the Service secretary advised us to use the first floor employee room. J. Thomay motion to accept the correspondences as submitted. R.
