as being eligible for promotion to the rank of Police Lieutenant of
the Waterloo Police Department. Motion carried.
Furgerson asked that in future testing the Commission look at some
form of attitude review.
Rodemeyer reviewed the process that will be followed
regarding police recruits. He also suggested that the Commission
meet again January 6, 1983 to finalize the recruit exam process.
Officer Woods, of the Waterloo Police Department, asked that the
Commission reconsider the requirement that prior to taking a Police
Sergeant exam, the applicant have five (5) years experience on the
Waterloo Police Department. Woods stated that he had three and
one-half years in Waterloo and several other years experience as an
officer in another City in Iowa.
Discussion followed. The Commission reiterated its reasoning for
this requirement in that experience in another city may be different
than experience in Waterloo.
Motion by Braun, seconded by Eibey to deny Officer Wood's request of
changing the requirement of five years on the Waterloo Police
Department, based on the time available to the Commission to change
the requirements. Motion carried.
Motion by Braun, seconded by Eibey to accept the following notice
for Police Sergeant, and order the Clerk/Auditor to post the same.
Motion carried.
