Motion Carried.
Jim Rodemeyer presented the job vacancy notice for Police Officer
for review and revision of the Civil Service Commission.
Jim indicated after reviewing the notice with Chief Huck several
changes were suggested. The changes were presented in two parts
to ascertain motions.
Part A
It was moved by Juon, seconded by Glenz to reconsider, receive
and update the testing procedures for Police Officers as approved
as amended. Motion carried. (See attachment A)
Amendment: Page 1 , under the heading Minimum Requirements and
Qualifications, item 2 should read, vision must be at least 20/100
in both eyes, correctable to 20/20 in both eyes.
Page 1 , under the heading Minimum Requirements and
Qualifications, item 11 should read examination by a licensed
medical doctor. . . .
Page 3, under the heading Scoring, the entire paragraph was
rewritten to state applicants names will appear on certified list
prior to background investigation being completed.
Part B
Ma—Huck expressed his concern with item 7, page 1 , under the
heading Minimum Requirements and Qualifications which states,
"does not have a current liquor or drug dependency."
Discussion followed.
3
Chief Huck indicated because of the anticipated stress level of
a police officer and carrying a weapon, alcohol problems are not
tolerable in this type of position. The word "current", stated
the chief, denotes today and several situations could arise from
this phrase in the notice.
Dave Juon and other Commission Members stated the word "current"
was used to allow persons with past problems the chance to apply.
Moved by Juon, seconded by Glenz to receive and update the testing
procedure for police officers as approved as amended. Motion
carried.
Amendment: Page 1 , item 7, under the heading Minimum
Requirements and Qualifications, should read, does not have an
alcohol or drug dependency.
Chief Huck indicated he would like to change the oral examination
panel structure to include two members, instead of one from his
department because his staff was more aware than an outside
individual of the type of applicant which would best suit his
department and the organizational structure.
Discussion followed.
Jim Rodemeyer indicated the normal policy for all examinations is
to have no more than one person from the department to serve on
the panel.
B.J. Furgerson stated because of past problems between the police
department and the black community she feels no more than one
person from the police department should be on the Civil Service
panel.
Juon and Glenz stated a concern of credibility and setting a
precedence for future departments wanting two members on a panel.
Kathy Braun indicated because of her awareness of prior problems
in the Police Department and having a majority vote would be a
problem as far as hiring friends and relatives to the department.
It was moved by Glenz, seconded by Juon not to change the oral
examination panel structure. Motion carried.
Updates
Laboratory Technician I
Advertisement for this position began July 29, 1984 and ended
August 13, 1984. The position was advertised in the Waterloo

begin the week of September 10-14, 1984.
Earle Carner stated an individual presently employed in the
Street Department as an Equipment Operator II anticipates
applying for this position but can not read or write the English
Language. The person has a good working knowledge of equipment
used in the Street Department and the Waterloo Streets.
Jim Rodemeyer indicated because the notice states "must be able to read and
write" this eliminates the person from applying.
Donna Lesyshen stated because this is a promotional examination,
4
the person being already covered by Civil Service eliminating
this phrase from the notice would not be a problem as to allowing
entry level examination to include this phrase.
Moved by Juon, seconded by Glenz to reconsider, receive and
update the testing procedures for Equipment Operator III as
approved as amended. Motion carried.
Amendment: Page 1 , paragraph 2, under the heading Qualifications
