the Board position (Item 6) .
3 . Chief Olmstead asked for an informal agreement from the
board to go forward with the plans to bring in the
outside contractor to do the OSHA physicals. Chief
Olmstead feels due to the time factor and the amount of
physicals that need to be done, this contractor is the
most efficient way to fulfill the requirements of OSHA.
All of the commissioners were in agreement for the idea
and will take formal action at the regular meeting on
September 8, 1992 .
4. Budget:
Chief Olmstead handed out copies of Draft Number 2 of the
budget figures. He then pointed out, and discussed at
length the areas in the budget where there are problems.
No action was taken, it was more of an discussion to make
the board aware of the budget problems, and to get any
ideas of what actions need to be taken concerning the
budget. If there are any questions regarding the budget,
please bring them to the attention of Chief Olmstead.
5. Staffing:
Chief Olmstead met with the vacancy committee and
requested to fill 4 firefighter and the MTO position.
The committee approved 2 firefighter positions. Civil
Service is going to be canvasing the list of possible
candidates, they should have a list available by next
week. The candidates will first interviewed, offered
employment, and then be given the physical and agility
test. This procedure is the reverse way hiring was
previously done.
