Ubaldi called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. PRESENT: M. Ubaldi, K. Zolar, and J. Barrett ALSO PRESENT: Asst, Law Director B. O'Malley and Civil Service Secretary D. Eccleston II. DISPOSITION OF MINUTES: The Civil Service minutes dated September 20, 2010 have been submittedfor approval. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion to accept the minutes as submitted. Mr. Barrett seconded and unanimously approved. II1. COMMUNICATIONS: There were 8 items of correspondence received and 157 items of correspondence sent out by the Civil Service Commission. The Commission received a request from the Safety/Service Director to certify the top seven (7) names on the Entry -Level Patrol Officers eligible list for a vacancy created by a Patrol Officer that will be retiring in February, 2011. There are no changes on the eligible list and the Commission is waiting on agility certifications. If candidates do not submit their agility certification, they will be removed from the list. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion that the Civil Service Commission certifies the following names and forward copies of their applications to the appointing authority: Steven Kopniske, Lawrence Zakrajsek, Jr., Jonathan Hayes, Ryan Gaydosh, Jeff Golem, Nicholas DiOrio and Anthony Gregory. Mr. Barrett seconded the motion and unanimously approved. There is an issue of a candidate on the Entry -Level Patrol Officer examination that attends school in Toledo but resides in North Olmsted. The candidate wrote his Toledo address on the application and sent in his transcripts from North Olmsted High School with no letter after he received his results. A general discussion commenced regarding ranking, extra credit, proof of residency. The application packet states that residency proof would be required but was not stated on the actual application. The candidate checked off on the application that he is claiming residency. In general if people do not follow the rules the Commission either disqualifies or disallows. It was decided that the candidate will not receive extra credit because it is after the fact. A general discussion followed regarding amending the rule. The rule states "Credit for residency in North Olmsted shall be awarded to eligible entry-level candidates, subject to satisfactory proof of North Olmsted residency upon presentation of property, utility, or state licensing records by the candidate" and goes on to address the five years residency. The rules already reflect the language that the Commission needs.
