CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NORTH OLMSTED, OHIO CIVIL SERVICE MEETING - OCTOBER 27, 1988 Present: Commissioners: Madeline Brookshire, Thomas Stroh, Robert Wendt, Secretary, Peg Hill. Guest: Ken Mues, NOMBL Supervisor, Ed Varga, Maintenance Supv. Minutes of the previous meeting approved as read. Regular business meeting set aside to accomodate the NOMBL personnel. Mr. Mues referred to the letter sent him by the commission dated July 25, 1988 with reference to an in-house test for the position of equipment servicer. Mr. Mues, along with the mechanic, felt that a test was not necessary for this position as only one man held this title and generally they conduct an interview in which Mr. Varga through questioning determines their general knowledge for the job. Mr. Wendt stated that giving an in-house test was was requested of the administration at the schools for their position of bus mechanic. The commission acknowledged that most of the mechanic expertise was on the job training, and not a "paper 'n pencil" test. This type of testing done in-house up -der supervision and verified by the supervisor stating he was qualified to do the job. The commission needs to have a copy of the type of test administered to the servicer by the supervisor or head mechanic. This could be a check -off system of testing which would be acceptable with the commission as long as somewhere along the way the commission receives some written documentation that this type of test was given. The testee should be given a 90 -day period before being evaluated on the type of job he is doing for the department. Mrs. Brookshire suggested to the supervisor that on the job descriptions it would be helpful if they could develop the minimum job descriptions whether they be educational or training, etc. as that falls in line with the initial hiring and meeting some of the requirements after the end of the probationary period. Commissioners assured Mr. Dues, after his request, that a copy of the test as given previously would be forwarded to him for his review. Mr. Mues stated he would, if permissable, refer to some of the guidelines as :met by RTA. Commissioners agreed that would be equitable. Commissioners thanked the NOMBL personnel for attending. Test materials and Rules & Regulations: Mr. Wendt reported he was not finished in his review of the testing materials forwarded to the commission by the various testing companies, Mr. Stroh stated he reviewed the rules & regulations as notated by Law Director Gareau and the commissioners took the time this evening to go over the rules, as revamped. Revised rules & regulations will be ready for print at the end of 1988. (con' t)
