Rule 5.10 was discussed from the standpoint of whether
comp time should be used within the week it is earned,
or whether it should be used within that pay period.
The Commission prefers to have the Rule remain as it is
written, that comp time be used within the pay period.
Reference was made to the Charter which requires the
Civil Service to administer testing in order to establish
a register for the purpose of filling vacancies. Mr. Green
recommends that we can add names to the eligibility list
(in their proper places) as prospects become available.
A requisition for personnel from the department head is
understood to be a request for an examination, if there
is no existing register. The department head works
closely with the Civi1 Service on setting up examinations.
Rule 13.05 makes provisions for tuition assistance.
Mr. Cato suggests that it doesn't encompass enough of
the method of payment.
AGENDA Item 3. Job description of General Maintenance Foreman was
considered with the input from Al-len Bronstad, department
y head. The Comarission reco~nended using the title of
Utilities Maintenance III instead of the above title of

composed and presented at a special meeting called for
July 6th. Mr. Cato suggested that we denote all changes
on the organizational chart when submitting it for the
