OLD BUSINESS
Chairman Jarvis asked that the September 6th minutes be
clarified; they state that "he failed to pass" . They should read,
"he did not pass", removing the word failed. With that change,
Chairman Jarvis made a motion that the minutes from the meetings
of September 6th, 21st and October 12th, be accepted. Motion was
seconded and carried.
NEW BUSINESS

Carole Stevenson, Records Manager from the Police Department,
asked for the Commission's approval to hire a Data Entry
Specialist. After some discussion, Chairman Jarvis moved to accept
the process and start the hiring procedure. Mr. Thornton seconded,
and the motion was carried.
Barbara Keohane, representing Capt. Dennis Byerly from the
Corrections Facility, was next on the agenda regarding Corrections
hiring. Acting Secretary Jan Banister clarified that attachments
regarding the oral board procedure had been removed from the packet
on advice of the City Attorney in order to insure the privacy of
the questions to be posed to the candidates. Ms. Banister also
mentioned that the minutes of the last meeting refer to three and
one half positions to be filled in Corrections and this agenda
mentions four positions. Ms. Keohane and Captain Miller indicated
that the half position had already been approved in the budget.
