When a pre -employment medical exam is required, it will be required of all candidates who are <br />finalists and/or who are offered employment for a given job class. Information obtained from the <br />medical exam will be treated as confidential medical records. <br />When required, the medical exam will be conducted by a licensed physician designated by the <br />City with the cost of the exam paid by the City. (Psychological/psychiatric exams will be <br />conducted by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.) The physician will notify the City <br />Administrator or designee that a candidate either is or isn't medically able to perform the essential <br />functions of the job, with or without accommodations and whether the candidate passed a drug <br />test, if applicable. <br />If the candidate requires accommodation to perform one or more of the essential functions of the <br />job, the City Administrator or designee will confer with the physician and candidate regarding <br />reasonable and acceptable accommodations. <br />If a candidate is rejected for employment based on the results of the medical exam, they he/she <br />will be notified of this determination, to the extent required by law. <br />3.5 Selection Process <br />The selection process will be a cooperative effort between the City Administrator er- and <br />designees and the hiring-mupervisor manager, subject to final hiring approval of the City Council. <br />Any, all or none of the candidates may be interviewed. <br />The City has the right to make the final hiring decision based on qualifications, abilities, <br />experience and city of Ramsey needs. <br />3.6 Background Checks <br />All finalists for employment with the City will be subject to a background check to confirm <br />information submitted as part of application materials and to assist in determining the candidate's <br />suitability for the position. Except where already defined by state law, the City Administrator <br />will determine the level of background check to be conducted based on the position being filled. <br />3.7 Criminal Background Investigations <br />Authority <br />State law authorizes city police departments to conduct criminal history background <br />investigations on applicants for City positions using Minnesota Computerized Criminal History <br />data. <br />Applications <br />This section applies only to applicants who are finalists for regular, temporary, seasonal, casual, <br />and volunteer status positions. Before a finalist is eligible to receive a conditional job offer or <br />begin employment with the City, and to the extent permitted by law, the applicant must authorize <br />the Police Department, in writing, to undertake a criminal history background investigation and <br />to release the information to the City Council, City Aftdministrator and/or other City staff as <br />appropriate. <br />18 1Page <br />
