There were 12 applicants who followed protocol, confirming they wanted to participate in the exam. llacqua provided handouts (bulletin, supplemental questionnaire, etc.) to the Board. There were eight applicants who showed up on the day of the Practical Skills Test.

The new law requires that applicants not be required to provide criminal history information until after it is determined that they meet the minimum qualifications of the job. The skills test was held at the multipurpose field at Alameda Point and both the field and part of the sidewalk were used to complete the five different exercises: - Driving a tractor and moving materials with the tractor - Properly loading a truck - Changing a blade on a chain saw and then starting the chain saw - Correctly identifying different fuels and which equipment uses what fuel - Driving a mower and mowing the lawn properly Each exercise was worth 20 points with a total of 100 points overall.
