a Section 4: accept all the changes; change the first part of text to "a" and then the current "a" will be "b" so on and so forth so that Section 4 will have subsections a through d; add the word Sections after "Ohio Revised Code" and complete a global search on the whole document. Section 5: hyphenate the word laid off, replace the suggested word immediate to immediately; the first block of text will be Section 5 a and Section 5 b will begin with "A laid -off employee..."; indent 1 through 3. Section 6: the first part of the text will be Section 6 a and the current a and b will become b and c. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion to apply all changes that have been made to Rules IX, X and XI and the new set of Rules and Regulations be distributed. Mr. Hohmann seconded the motion and unanimously approved. A general discussion commenced regarding the update of the appendix; definitions and preface will need to be scrutinized; review any outstanding issues. A discussion followed concerning Rule XII, page 25, d where drunkenness is there as a possible reason for suspension or to be removed from the position and an inquiry was made if the Commission would consider the use of illegal drugs as another reason. The Commission had ,previous discussions concerning inappropriate use of alcohol and the use of illegal drugs and that the use of the word drunkenness has been used historically in the statues. An inquiry was made if the administration is aware of any potential problems with any of the disabilities act where people have alcoholism or drug addictions that could have some impact on that change. The City has a drug and alcohol policy; it is the Bureau of Workers Comp Drug Free Workplace Level 1 and as part of that program the Employer is required to have in place an Employee Assistance Program; if the City would have an employee that would have a problem, the City can and would refer them to the EAP for counseling and then a recommendation back to the Employer on how best to handle the situation. Illegal drugs are controlled substances and the possession and use is absolutely prohibited; that would constitute abuse. The "use of abusive controlled substances" will now. be Section 1 e and the rest will change accordingly. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion to apply the changes discussed to Rule XII and any other changes to the rules discussed at this meeting. Ms. Zolar seconded the motion and unanimously approved. A general discussion commenced regarding the Definition Section; there could be a variance between some of the terms as they were defined then; the lack of funds, lack of work has been changed; reviewing individual definitions; redundancy. The Rules and Regulations handbook is fairly easy reading. The most difficult aspects of the rule book are the logical constructs, the interworking of the rules and the confusion that the Commission has seen that can arise sometimes not only with those that are affected by the rules but the City staff and the Commission itself. A suggestion was made that the Law Department review the Definition Section of the rules and present their opinion at the next meeting. The Preface will be discussed at the next meeting and as far as the loose ends based on the previous discussions about vision, the Commission will keep the current language. Rule III, Police and Fire Promotion, has been set aside for input from the respective Chiefs. The Law Department indicated that the change in State Law was a function of the Fire O.R.C. Section 124.45, increasing the time in rank to forty-eight (48) months; for consistency, the time and rank proposal for police was offered also to the Commission at forty-eight (48) months. The Law
