CityCouncil | 2020-03-03 | 25 | Councilmember Vella stated the City Attorney's office is fairly compacted; expressed support for the City Prosecutor having a secure office space to conduct necessary calls and meetings; inquired whether the funding includes the City Prosecutor space. The City Manager responded staff is looking into office space. The Finance Director stated a new employee starts Monday and staff is trying to figure out office space. Councilmember Vella stated there is no fiscal impact to the PERS longevity requirement for Police Department; inquired whether the City gives a 5% differential for any Police Officer coming in that has a degree. The Human Resources Director responded in the affirmative; stated the number is not significant, therefore, not a huge impact; members with a degree would not have to wait as long. Councilmember Vella inquired whether there are officers without a degree, to which the Human Resources Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Vella inquired whether a degree is listed as part of the job specifications, to which the Human Resources Director responded not for Police Officer currently. In response to Councilmember Vella's inquiry, the Human Resources Director stated the language does state that both the Bachelor's and Master's degree need to have some relationship to the work performed; the degree is valued and looked at. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the $111,500 cost to repair Woodstock Park could be recovered by either insurance or subrogation action. The Finance Director responded the City has an insurance deductible; stated the cost did not reach the insurance level. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the self-insured provision prevents the City from seeking reimbursement from the responsible party. The City Attorney responded that he understands there was an arson at the park; stated that he does not know if an arrest was made; he does not know the prosecutorial status of the case. The Finance Director stated that the attempt can be made; however, it can be difficult based on how much a person has. Vice Mayor Knox White stated the arsonist was a 13 year-old child; staff should be careful about having an aggressive approach.
