The minutes of September 16, 1982 meeting were approved as mailed.
Under old business, the Fire Recruit Exam was reviewed. Jim
Rodemeyer reported that 129 individuals showed up to take the test.
Letters will go out Friday, October 23, 1982 to the top 40
applicants. The agility test will be given on November 13, at 1 :30
p.m. at East High School and the scores will be brought to the
November Civil Service meeting.
Report of the Certification of the Para-Medic Supervisor was
discussed. Two candidates came forward and they were Harold
Whitsell and Gregory Ferguson.
It was moved by Eibey, and seconded by Geisen, that the Certified
List be given to the City Council with a notation that the name
Whitsell was mispelled on the original certified list. Motion
carried.
Under new business Jim Rodemeyer reported on the Promotional
Exams for the position of Assistant Police Chief.
Police Chief Huck said it is very hard to find a good written test
and that he would like to see a minimum standard be set, then if a
person does not meet the standard, he does not qualify.
It was moved by Eibey, seconded by Geisen, that under the title
"Qualifications" on the exam, the wording he changed to read 3 years
served in the rank of captain on an acting or permanent basis on the
Waterloo Police Department, and that there be a cut off score of 60%
and anything under that not passing. Motion carried.
Under new business Roger Mogle reported on the Fire Promotional
Examinations for Lieutenants.
The question of the evaluation panel was discussed, whether it
should be kept within the department or bring in an outside panel .
Roger mentioned that this was a rough draft of the procedure and
that at the November meeting he would be bringing back to the
commissioners the final draft. This test is set up for the
promotion of Lieutenants and not any other promotion. No action was
taken on this matter.
The Police Lieutenant Promotional Exam was discussed and will be
brought up again at the next meeting.
Next meeting will be November 18, 1982.
Moved by Eibey, seconded by Geisen to adjourn. Motion carried.
