CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO 4EMOGO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MEETING - SEPTEMBER 22, 1988 Present: Commissioners; Madeline Brookshire, Tom Stroh, Bob Wendt, Secretary, Peg Hill. Minutes approved from the last regular meeting of the commission in June of 1988. Commission recesses for the months of July and August. OLD BUSINESS The secretary forwarded to the NOMBL, with copies to the Mayor and Service Director informing them that a communication forwarded to Mr. Ken Mues dated February 25, 1987 written by then Chairperson for the Commission, Mrs. Pat Bahas, was to be considered in error as written and should therefore be considered null and void. Members of the commission at that time were unaware of this communication and the opinion in the letter was not the result of a commission meeting. As a result of several meetings with the commission and the employees in the bus garage, as well as city administrators, the commission has ruled that the NOMBL personnel employed in the bus garage, known formerly as laborers - now classified as hostlers/servicemen, are to be considered Unclassified and therefore not represented by Civil Service jurisdiction. Also a letter was sent to Ken Mues, NOMBL, indicating those employees in his department that were covered by Civil Service. Questions were raised regarding the testing of the mechanic at the bus garage. Commissioners agreed this position could be handled similar to the format used for the school bus mechanic, an in-house test, with the testing questions and other documents forwarded to the commission to become a part of the civil service file. The commission will invite Mr. Ken Mues to the next meeting, October 27th, for discussion purposes. Copies of the N.O. Civil Service Rules & Regulations as sent to Law Director Gareau were returned to commission with notes and written comments made by Mr. Gareau during his review of same. Commissioner Stroh offered to study the document further and discuss the Law Director's critique of the Rules with further discussion to take place at the October meeting. NEW BUSINESS Testing companies have been, upon request, forwarding to the Commission testing materials. Mr. Wendt volunteered to review this material and discuss his findings with the Commission. The commission has a certified and ranked list of Police Department candidates. Psychological testing of police candidates was discussed by members of the Commission. (continued on Page #2)
