Motion was passed by unanimous consent to allow testing of the applicant by I/O Solutions testing service. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Frankfort Police Board, a mandatory orientation will be afforded the applicant. Further discussion took place on future revision of the rules which may definitively outline those instances when testing may be done outside the formal published date.
