CALL TO ORDER:
Mr. Frey called the meeting to order at 6:OOPM. Mr. Horvath was absent. Ms. Barrow
made a motion to accept the minutes of the December 1, 2016 meeting, Mr. Monohan
seconded - the minutes were unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS:
- Mr. Frey noted that elections had been held and for 2017 Mr. Monohan would be
President; Mr. Kepfhammer Vice President and Mr. Barrow Secretary.
- Mr. Hurt mentioned that the Union is discussing the issue of the Promotional List.
For example, if a Fire Fighter is#3 on the list but feels that this would not be a good
time for him/her to take a promotion—can he/she asked to be moved down one slot.
He also suggested that perhaps having the CPAT requirement in place in order for
new candidates to take the written test might have reduced the numbers.
- Chief Hedrick spoke about the possibility of the Police Department to have a second
list of potential candidates—the experienced list which would consist of candidates
with experience. Additionally the Department would not have to hire any candidates
for the 2015 list that is already in place. The Fire Department is currently in contract
negations and they are going well.
- Mr. Monohan made a motion to contact the first 3 candidates on the 2016 Fire
Fighter List; Ms. Barrow seconded. Mr. Masingo will send out provisional letters of
hire noting that the actual hire date will be depended on when the candidate is
accepted by PERF.
