Chairman Jarvis questioned the following item as an Action Item. Chief Frederiksen stated that the item is a notification of the position of the testing process and should be accepted into the record. Further stated that he or Captain Miller can address any concerns or questions that the Commission might have with regard to the process. Captain Miller stated that there was a typo under the heading LATERAL. Number (1) should read "any two raters". Captain Miller will supply the Civil Service Secretary with a corrected copy for the Civil Service Records. For clarification purposes under ENTRY LEVEL past practice has been that the total eligibility list ranking has come about as a written score and the Oral Board has only been a pass/fail. This time the Police Department has moved to change that to make the Oral Board more meaningful in the overall selection process and therefore they will be assigning a point schedule for the Oral Board that will be factored in with the written score for the final score. Thats why the percentage breaks down as shown under ENTRY LEVEL. Chairman Jarvis motioned to Accept into Record the notification letter from Captain Miller to Chief Federiksen showing the breakdown of how the scores will be determined in the Police Lateral and Entry Level testing.
