4. AZ Post Physical Requirement Changes
Chair Burke asked Board Secretary Kathleen Broman to address this item. Ms. Broman said that at the February
meeting, the board reviewed changes to the AZ Post MH Form. The form was about ten pages and is now about two
pages of disclosures that do not require any type of medical history. Ms. Broman and other HR staff have met with
the Police hiring team and Risk Management to discuss these changes and their impact on the city. The proposal
before the Board is that the City of Tempe utilizes the AZ Post Medical Form and in addition, includes a separate city
form for disclosure of medical history so that any pre-existing condition information is captured. The second
recommendation is related to new members. They can have their own physician sign off on the form, which is not
necessarily someone who has any type of background or experience with AZ Post. Ms. Broman recommends that a
physician who is familiar with public safety must sign off on the form. There was no further discussion.
