Mrs. Copfer the Commission followed the Charter. Mrs. Giesser indicated that Mrs. Copfer can talk to the Charter Review Board. _Mrs. Giesser advised the Commission did not use the CDL license to classify Laborer C. Mr. Ubaldi indicated that the Commission wanted to be consistent and was looking at the job descriptions and would like to adopt the job classification list at this meeting. A general discussion followed concerning the job classification list, labor management issues, posting list and notification to all employees. Mrs. Giesser made a motion to send a memo to all employees of the City of North Olmsted attaching the list of positions and their determinations. The Commission will be voting on the list at the next regular meeting in November and if anyone has any comments, to submit them in writing within two weeks. Mr. Hohmann seconded the motion. Roll call on the motion: Mr. Ubaldi; no, Mr. Hohmann; yes and Mrs. Giesser; yes. Motion carried. Mr. O'Malley's draftproposal and amendmentfor the rule change Mrs. Giesser advised Mr. O'Malley's draft proposal is in reference for sending additional names to the Appointing Authority. Mr. Hohmann inquired if the Commission has the certified top five names on the eligibility list and if there is a vacancy, can the Commission automatically certify the next name. A general discussion followed concerning using or failure to use names, withdraw under duress or voluntarily, different case scenarios, certification of name(s) and special meetings. Mr. O'Malley indicated that the list is a certified ranking list and the top five names are certified. The word is used in different context. Mrs. Giesser believes that Mr. O'Malley's proposal indicates that a special meeting cannot be avoided. Mr. O'Malley indicated that Rule VII is the eligible list and talks about certifying the list, being. disqualified, and removed from the list as opposed to section 9 as to how a person may withdraw their name. Rule VIII addresses the issue of getting another name out. Mr. O'Malley indicated as it stands now, it is up to the Appointing Authority to advise the Commission for the next name. Mr. Hohmann feels that this whole process is slowed down due to having a special meeting to certify the next name and having the secretary release a copy of the application packet. Mrs. Giesser advised that in theory, the way the rules are written, the whole application packet should not be released to the Appointing Authority until the commission certifies the next name. A general discussion followed concerning a motion to pass the draft proposal, application packets sent to the Appointing Authority prior to certification, and a candidate's name automatically being sent to the Appointing Authority. Mr. Ubaldi suggests having that special meeting would be beneficial instead of just sending over another name automatically. Mr. O'Malley suggested to Mrs. Giesser leave the reasons for removing a name from the list under Rule VII, section 9, and separating the distribution of the packet and certification of another name to Rule VIII, section 2c. Mr. O'Malley recommends retreating from the proposal and reviewing the proposal with the proper language. V. NEW BUSINESS: Shaun Kasza is now ranked #S on the firefighters ranking List for Entry -Level due to the two new hires. A motion is needed. Mr. Ubaldi suggested if the Commission certifies Shaun Kasza then the top four candidates needs to be certified as well. Mr. O'Malley questioned if we are reporting Shaun Kasza to the Appointing Authority for interviewing or just to give him a new rank. Mrs. Giesser advised that we now have four candidates because of the hire. Mrs. Giesser questioned if the Appointing Authority has a position open and if not, do we need to certify Shaun Kasza and rank him as number five. Mr. O'Malley advised only if the Appointing Authority is saying they need another name. A general
