Agenda Report # 7



TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Purchase Authorizations



INITIATED BY: Finance Department



(A) ASSESSMENT CENTER FOR PROMOTIONAL TESTING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT



It is requested that Council approve an agreement with The University of

Georgia to provide an assessment center for promotional testing services for

the Police Department for a period of one year. In FY18, the Police Department

is anticipating promotional testing for the rank of Sergeant, in the amount of

$22,132.00. Approval is also requested to cover payments for any additional or

makeup assessment centers per the agreement.



The University of Georgia has provided this service to the City since 1983.

The Chief of Police at that time, Jim Wetherington, met with the Council, Mayor

and City Attorney at a retreat in Callaway Gardens and a plan for an assessment

center was developed. The Police Department has used the same Assessment

Center plan and UGA has provided this service since that time, with the

exception of one interruption. In 1999, the Police Department ran into a

problem with adverse impact (4/5 Rule) and the University of Georgia was unable

to provide this service based on possible discrimination. The Police

Department then used the contracted services of Morris & McDaniel for an

Assessment cycle. Morris & McDaniel had given notice that contract renewal

would cost $65,000, which when compared to UGA's $40,000 cost, was not cost

effective to renew the contract. The Police Chief, City Council and City

Attorney met and modified the process, which enabled UGA to provide the

services again. The Police Chief, Dozier, decided to bring UGA back to conduct

promotional testing. The University of Georgia is the only state agency that

is academically based and specializes in providing services to municipal and

local governments in the state.



Funds are budgeted in the FY18 Budget as follows: Police ? Promotional Exam

Board; 0101-400-1000-POLC-6356, for the cost of promotional testing this fiscal

year, as well as, any additional or make up assessment centers per the

agreement.
