DISPOSITION OF MINUTES: The Civil Service minutes dated March 19, 2001 have been submitted for approval. J. Thomay motioned to approve the Civil Service minutes dated March 19, 2001 as submitted. The motion was seconded by L. Zolar and unanimously approved. III. REPORTS: There were 36 letters sent and 12 letters received. P. Farrell motioned to accept the correspondences received and sent. The motion was seconded by J. Thomay and unanimously approved. IV. OLD BUSINESS: A) Commissioners need to address Rule IV of the Civil Service Handbook. Chairman Thomay indicated that Rule IV is relatively short and. read the first section aloud. He then commented that he did not see anything wrong with Section 1. The other board members agreed. He then read Section 11 aloud. He questioned if e-mail would be acceptable for the protests. Mr. Farrell indicated that he didn't see the necessity to include e-mails in there. If they want to protest make them send a letter with a signature. Mr. Thomay went on to read the rest of the section aloud. He and the board members thought the rest of section 2 was pretty straight forward. Section 3 is the part that Mr. Thomay thought was kind of odd. He wasn't sure what this section is doing in this Rule. Mr. Farrell commented that it shouldn't be in this rule. Mr. Thomay indicated that Section 3 in Rule IV should be moved to be made the second paragraph under Rule II Section 9, which is titled Building Inspector Examinations. Remove the last sentence of Rule H section 9 and then eliminate the first two sentences in Rule IV section 3 and place the rest of that in Rule IV Section 3 into Rule II the second paragraph under the Rule H Section 9. Mr. Thomay commented that should take care of Rule IV. He then indicated that they should probably go ahead and review Rule V while they're at this. He read Section 1 aloud. He found no problems with section 1 and neither did the other board members. He read section 2 aloud. Chief Bak indicated that he thought the Fire Department should have the same extra credit -points for fire science just as the police get extra credit for criminal justice/law enforcement as stated in section 2 of this rule. Mr. Thomay agreed with Chief Bak and thought that would only be fair. Mrs. Zolar agreed and wondered why they didn't set it up that way in the first place. Mr. Farrell commented that maybe fire science hasn't been around a long time. Chief Bak indicated that it has been around for quite some time. Under section 3 in Rule V change the aggregate total from 3 points to a total of 5 points possible. Then make a chart like the police maximum allowable credit, but change the criminal justice/law enforcement to be fire
