there is any confusion on what has been adopted in Rule III, Mrs. Kilbane can fax over a draft and she can provide clarification. Mrs. Giesser asked Mrs. Kilbane if she was able to find out about what documentation is released from testing companies once a, protest is filed. Mrs. Kilbane indicated she spoke with Pat Ramsey who conducted the most recent test and Mrs. Ramsey indicated it is only a keyed test and an answer sheet that is released. She said Mrs. Ramsey added that most cities do it that way, but it depends on the rules for each city. Mrs. Giesser brought up the previous protest involving the fire department. A discussion ensued involving Section 124.45 of the Ohio Revised Code. Mrs. Giesser said they can either put explicit language in their rules or simply say "the procedure will be in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code," and refer to whatever section applies. She added there are two issues, the first being compliance with the state code. She said they do not have any real interest in doing it "their" way other than the five day period being a hectic time for the Commission. Mr. Ubaldi asked if they would be in conflict with the code if they gave applicants more time. Mr. Hohmann said it could be a problem with other applicants. Mrs. Giesser said the second issue is if they want to stick with code, she wonders if they should write the code specifically in the rules or just refer to the applicable section of the Ohio Revised Code. Mr. Hohmann mentioned if the state changes the code, they would be bound to change the rules if the language is specific. V. NEW BUSINESS: Address requests to remove candidate names from the fire fighter eligibility list Mrs. Giesser said her recollection is that when a request comes in for removal of a name, the Commission would make a motion to accept the request. Mrs. Kilbane indicated the Commission had asked to get a monthly report and it did in fact motion on a removal at the last meeting. R. Giesser made a motion to acknowledge receipt of requests from Brandon Cole, Kenneth Kulczycki, and Russell Hageman to have their names removed from the fire fighter eligibility list. The Commission accepts the requests. The motion was seconded by M. Ubaldi and unanimously approved. VI. ADJOURNMENT: M. Ubaldi made a motion to adjourn. The motion was seconded by W. Hohmann and unanimously approved. Chairperson Giesser adjourned the meeting at 7:50 p.m. , Chairperson Date Annie Kilbane, Civil Service Secretary
