• Civil Service Meeting September 14, 1981 Page 26 Randall: I do too. Trainer: And also, the Chief wants it. C~ Hudgens: Yeah--and Herb---Herb says he can work with Chief Turner in Baytown and use their facilities so we don't have to construct anything so--ah--we can carry the people over there and run them through the place over there and use their facilities. Trainer: That'd be great. Hudgens: And, in the time sequence for employment, there are certain things that's done. The first thing we do is take people's names that want to take the test; give out the notice that the test is going to be given and then they have to come in and actually file an application that gives all the name, rank and serial number and all the stuff--ah--then the test is given after that; then based on the test, that's when we begin the background investigation? Freeman: Yes sir. From the time of the test, those that passed the test are given the date the agility tests are to be given. And then the background investigation will proceed at that time. Hudgens: Well, I mean the background investigation is actually the last thing that is done prior to approving them for a eligibility roster because that's the one that's going to cost us the most money and we want to week out everybody we can before we spend a bunch of money doing a background investigation. Trainer: That's something. Hudgens: I guess the background investigation is the last hurdle before they go on the eligibility roster. Trainer: The background investigation is done by our own department? Freeman: Yes sir. Randall: Who does your physicals, Herbie? Freeman: Dr. Miller. Hudgens: And, ah, I have a little bit of concern. I can't holler too much with what we re paying but I would like to see a little more thorough physical--it's ah--- Davis: The Chief and Lt. La Fitte came up with a good idea a while back and that is contracting with---their opening some clinics---I noticed there's one in Deer Park and there's a couple in Pasadena. Hudgens: All I'm saying is that I want something more than 'turn your head and cough' . as a physical.
