The suggestion is to have the meeting on Friday after the meeting. He will have them in binders for that meeting.  What happens when you don’t have the director’s concurrence?  The PSC said they went with the highest qualified but if a director recommended one, then PSC gave that person an extra 5 points and then still went with the highest rating.  Transfers are director and director sign.
