Mr. Jones also stated he is scheduled for eye surgery the first of the month and Mr. Powers suggested matters wait until the first of the year. Mr. Jones thought this would be a very good thing, with a new Council corning up, to leave things in abeyance. Mr. Jones then discussed an idea for a new merit rating system and explained his recommendation for grading procedures. Quite a discussion continued on this subject, and Mr. Jones stated this idea would be considered later, but he did want the Board to have a copy for their own perusal. " Mrs. Garvey asked why the Board receives a copy of the Merit Increases every month, as the Soard does not know who got the raise, what they started from and where they are going. Mr. Denton said the names are left off on purpose, as it is not supposed to be a personal thing, as putting a name with a bad encouter you may have had with them. Mrs. Vendrasco then explained the procedure of the Merit Report she prepares every month. Mr. Gold stated the Board was given this report,just an informational thing. Mr. DiLeva then gave a report on the accidents that have happened. This explanation was also given in view of the fact the safety meeting had not been held, which members of the Merit Board attend. There being no further business before the Board, Mr. DiLeva moved the meeting adjourn, seconded by Mr. Jones. The meeting adjourned at 7:33 p.m. Minutes submitted by Dorothy C. Garrity, Secretary Merit Board Minutes of Oct. 28, 1988 Meeting.
