<br /> 10. <br /> AN AMENDMENT PROVIDING FOR <br /> ALTERNATIVE TESTING PROCEDURES <br /> FOR FIRE DEPARTMENTS <br /> Current.J.aw <br /> Under Section 143.035, upon the recommendation of the chief of the police <br /> department, and after a majority vote of the sworn police officers in the department, <br /> the commission may adopt an alternate promotional system to select persons to <br /> occupy non-entry level positions other than positions that are filled by appointment <br /> by the department head. <br /> proposed~han~e <br /> Allow the same alternative testing procedures for fire departments. <br /> Reason for Proposed Chan~e <br /> Currently, only police departments may choose alternative testing procedures. If <br /> the same safeguards (a recommendation by the chief and a majority vote of the fire <br /> department) are adopted for fire departments, the commission should be allowed to <br /> adopt an alternative promotional system to promote persons to non-entry level <br /> posnions. There is no good reason that a police department is allowed to exercise <br /> this option and a fire department is not. <br /> PAGE 10 OF lO OF EXHIBIT A <br />
