CivilServiceBoard | 2005-04-07 | 3 | City of Alameda Page 3 Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Civil Service Board Thursday, April 7, 2005 those of the City Manager and his staff. The Board is charged with the making of policy and procedure. The City Manager and his staff have authority over the implementation and operations of these policies and procedures. Assistant City Attorney Highsmith spent some time breaking this down for the members, and responding to the questions posed surrounding limitations of authority. The Board and staff give their thanks to Ms. Highsmith for her direction. While Assistant City Attorney Highsmith was present, a question came up on the proper procedure for agendizing items for future meetings. Ms. Highsmith advised that Executive Secretary Willis was their liaison in this matter, and she would be the one to set the agenda, including items of interest to the Board members. Member Smith stated his preference to make his requests through Chair Robles-Wong, who would then work through Ms. Willis, and it was agreed that this was a perfectly acceptable alternative. In light of this, two requests were made to agendize items for the upcoming July 2005 meeting. Chair Robles-Wong requested that a discussion be held regarding Rule of the List and adjusting the language in the Civil Service Rules. Member Rich requested to see EEO- 4 gender and ethnicity data to further a discussion initiated by Member Smith regarding workforce diversity and its impact on community relations. Member Rich also suggested that the City's anti-discrimination policy might be amended to include a commitment to recruitment outreach as a good faith effort to promote workforce diversity. Accordingly, Member Robles-Wong requested that the anti-discrimination policy be agendized for the next meeting. Revised language under Civil Service Rules, Article VII. Section 1 Establishment of Lists, to add National Guard members to our definition of veterans for preference point purposes, was presented to the Board for their approval. Member Rocha made a motion to accept, Member Smith seconded, and the item was carried by a 5-0 vote. Staff will move forward with a formal revision and re-distribution of the Rules. 9. ADJOURNMENT: Chair Robles-Wong asked for a motion to adjourn, which was provided by Member Smith, Member Rocha seconded, and carried by a 5-0 vote. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 6:07 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Karen Willis Human Resources Director & Executive Secretary to the Civil Service Board "Dedicated to Excellence, Committed to Service" | CivilServiceBoard/2005-04-07.pdf |
