Agenda Item 1: Eligibility List:
OTHERS PRESENT
James Crawford
The names of the top three candidates for the open position of
Public Safety Officer must be submitted to the City Manager for
review. A complication has developed in that one of the candidates
on the list is unable to differentiate between certain colors.
In considering this subject the commissioners reviewed the opinions
of "two medical doctors". Additionally the commissioners discussed
the pros and cons of the need to discriminate between colors in
Public Safety work.
A motion was made and seconded that candidate Dickinson's name be
removed from the list basis his inability to -between
hues and colors.
Agenda Item 2:
The Commission has been requested to augment the score of a
candidate as outlined in the Police Civil Service Rules & Regulations.
The legal opinion from the City Attorney was reviewed. The portion
of Section 8 which deals with this section was reviewed, "Candidates
properly listed on the eligibility register at a time new candidates
are added shall be comingled and ranked with the new candidates
according to total weighed scores and preferences as set forth
above and then new ranking shall be effective as of the date the
last new candidate(s) are placed on the eligibility register."
The commissioners agreed that Section 8 of the by-laws is clear and
that the list cannot be augmented.
• Agenda Item 3:
We can expect to begin working in September or October on the testing
program for sargeants. We are waiting for additional information
relative to the cost of using an outside agency.
Meeting Adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
