Michael Lewis, a candidate on the Entry -Level Firefighter Eligible List, has sent correspondence to the Commission regarding his new address. The secretary will change his address. The Law Department prepared a draft of proposed changes to the Civil Service Rules and Regulations handbook. A charter provision was recently amended to enable the Civil Service Commission to adopt rules of its own that may deviate from State law. State law is guidance for the Civil Service Commission to follow. Some of the recommendations were not entirely from the changes in the State code. Some of them were circumstances that have been reviewed or noted. Suggestions were made to circulate the draft proposal to the directors and inviting them to attend the September meeting; the Law Department's presentation of the draft; reviewing the rules in sections with a goal to be completed by the end of the year. If any director cannot attend the meeting, written comments are welcomed. A general discussion followed regarding the minimum amount of candidates to test; job security (the Commission cannot safe guard a position due to the fact that a position maybe eliminated by the administration); certify names within a window of an appointment.
