Minutes of the July 13, 2022 meeting were approved as published. Chairman Naso stated that the interviews for six Full-Time Technician I have been completed and the list is in your packet. So I will move to certify the Technician I Eligibility List. Motion was seconded and passed with no discussion. After Mr. Rorar was given the eligibility list, he said that he appreciated the help from the Commission with sitting in on the interviews. We had two good candidates. It’s a tedious process hiring anyone right now. I’ve never seen anything like it. Mr. Naso: Also in your packet is a list of eight people that have been interviewed for the position of Assistant Road Superintendent. We are still looking for other candidates. Let us know when you are ready to offer someone the job so that we can certify the list. Mr. Naso also explained to Mr. Bollas how the testing process was followed prior to temporarily doing away with the written format and making use of the interview process. There is no deadline to apply with the interview process. Commissioner Kot reiterated that all the candidates are asked the same questions. Mr. Naso stated that we have copies of those questions in our files and complimented Mr. Stineman, the Water Superintendent on the great job he did on the interviews. Mr. Naso stated the test consultants, Ramsey & Associates who normally conduct our assessment centers is now only doing entrance exams, no assessment centers. Dr. Cooper is considering other companies to do the assessment center. Your packets contain copies of the updated summaries of the process. One change has been made to number 5: posting from three weeks to four weeks. Mayor Kline interjected that it is the opposite: from four weeks to three weeks. Any other changes will be emailed to you. I have some questions concerning polygraphs, physical fitness rating… Page 2 July 20, 2022 Mrs. Stritch stated that they will be members of the Fire/Police Pension and they have specific physical requirements by the Pension Board.
