Lorain civil service waives testing, approves Robert Davis as master mechanic
Summary
The Lorain Civil Service Commission waived testing requirements and approved an exceptional appointment of Robert Davis as master mechanic in the city’s Public Property Department garage division.
The Lorain Civil Service Commission on May 13 waived testing provisions cited by staff and approved the exceptional appointment of Robert Davis to the position of master mechanic in the Lorain Public Property Department’s garage division.
The action followed a request from Safety Service Director Curion that the commission waive the testing requirement under the provision cited in the meeting and allow staff to appoint Davis based on certifications and technical experience. The commission voted to waive the testing provision and then voted to approve the appointment; both motions passed on voice votes.
Commission staff reported that two candidates applied for the position and three people interviewed them. Davis was the only applicant who arrived with the set of certifications staff deemed necessary. Staff described him as an "ASC certified master diagnostic mechanic" with nine separate certifications, including one described as an L1-level certification.
The commission discussed the statutory citation involved in the waiver; meeting speakers referenced the Ohio Revised Code in connection with the exceptional appointment request and the waiver motion. The appointment was processed after the commission approved the waiver and then moved to accept the exceptional appointment.
No salary, start date, or further personnel details were discussed on the record during the meeting.
