CALL TO ORDER:
Ms. Barrow called the meeting to order at 6:00PM. All Commissioners were present.
BUSINESS:
- Mr. Frey made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 6, 2018
meeting. Mr. Horvath seconded. It was unanimously approved.
- The Chief noted that he had the Promotional Interview Schedule and would post
it.
- Mr. S Veals said that he had received a call from Mr. Frey telling him which
classes he didn't have and that he didn't really know when classes were held. Mr.
Frey noted that he had told Mr. Veals to come by the store and he could get a
listing of the classes that he still needed. The Chief made note again of Target
Solutions where everything is posted and all FF are required to sign in and read.
Mr. Veals has completed all of the required assignments but not the actual class
work required for promotion.
- Mr. Emerson questioned on why cell phone and head phones were allowed during
the written test. Ms. Barrow noticed that IPSP did remove some ear buds and
phones but would address the issue with IPSP. It was also noted that some classes
like Instructor 1 do not have to be current. It might be helpful to re-look at the
class requirements for the next promotion time.
- Ms. Barrow explained the Rater Exclusion Form and that it would be used during
the Promotional Interviews. By using this form an interviewee could request that
a board member be excluded for any noted reason.
- Promotional Interviews will be on October 16 and 17 and will be all day. The
Chief will provide areas for both the Tactical and Interviews. Each question only
has a 2 minute time allowance for an answer. The Commission has notified IPSP
that written test scores can be given out.

adjourned at 6:25PM.
