COMMUNICATIONS: There were 14 items of correspondence received and 13 items of correspondence sent out by the Civil Service Commission. IV. OLD BUSINESS: Address Business Related to the Emergency Central Dispatcher Examination The Commission reviewed Cynthia Walker's application. Ms. Walker served three (3) months and twenty-eight (28) days total active military served; served with the Ohio National Guard; was in the Army beginning in 1988; left and came back a few times until 1995. During that time she went to school and was considered active duty service. Ms. Walker indicated that the Ohio National Guard and National Reserve is something totally different from the regular army. The question is whether or not active duty for purposes of the Commission's rules is going to include time in the Reserves and if it could accumulate to the point where it exceeds 6 months which, at this time, is not included in the current rules. The rules are describing full time active duty already served and released. After research has been completed, a determination will be made regarding the extra credit points at the next meeting. Ms. Walker's extra credit point would either be 3 points or 0 points because it is a difference between four (4) years, six (6) months and five (5) days or three (3) months and twenty- eight (28) days. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion pending expert opinion, that the Commission postpones the judgment on the extra credit for Cynthia Walker until the Commission can make a determination prior to the establishment of the eligible list. Mr. Hohmann seconded the motion and'unanimously approved.
