females to test together without males present.
There was brief discussion regarding the Fire Department testing
and getting on the same schedule as the rest nf City employees.
Teri explained that there had been a meeting the Fire Department
employees and a compromise was made regarding letting them carry
their points over in December for their next testing. They agreed
to test in December, carry the points that they have in the bank
and then get on the same schedule as the City. Therefore, they
will have three testing periods this year and the City will have
two. Although next year they will have two testing periods and the
rest of the City will have three.

reduced rate.
