IV.      OLD BUSINESS

         Chief Lewis inquired about the minutes from the July 8th meeting
         regarding the tuition reimbursement for an employee. Chief Lewis
         explained that he approved the tuition reimbursement form at the
         Department Head level previously and questioned why it was brought to
         the Civil Service Commission. Director Kristen Wade explained that the
         previous tuition reimbursement form stated that it was to be brought in
         front of the Civil Service Commission for approval. She also stated that
         Dwana Thompson was going to amend the current policy so that it states
         only Employee Tuition Reimbursement appeals will be brought in front of
         the Civil Service Commission.

         Commissioner Wendtland revisited the suggested time change for the
         Civil Service meetings. Commissioner Wendtland recommended that
       Department Heads notify their employees of the Civil Service meeting
       dates and times and if an employee has a request for a different time for
       a specific agenda item, the Commissioners will accommodate it
       accordingly.
