She also explained that should the position become available again, they would automatically be placed on the eligible list. Member Peeler moved to accept the reinstatement, Member Rocha seconded and carried by a 5-0 vote. 4-B Eligible List History Review Karen Willis explained that the board had requested Human Resources staff to bring back information regarding the Golf and Park Maintenance Worker classification, how the job announcements had been posted, history of the classification, how bumping rights apply, and how or why there is only one seniority list. She then passed out materials related to this issue. Jill Kovacs explained that one of the documents was a general look at the Golf Course as a department and division. She went on to explain dates of when the Golf Course became a division under the direction of the Recreation and Parks Department, and when it finally became its own department. Karen Willis stated that the Golf Department is currently being overseen by the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department in the absence of a General Manager of the Golf Complex. Board Member McHugh asked how the rolls changed as the responsibility of the function moved. Jill Kovacs stated that when Fred Framstead came aboard the contracted operations were brought back under the City which meant an expanded roll. Member Horikoshi asked if there was a relationship between the Golf Course being a Division or a Department and whether they are combined classifications or not. Jill Kovacs stated that there was no relation and that the history was for informational purposes and to understand the cohabitation of Golf and Parks and Recreation. Board President Rich asked if, once Golf became a separate Department, there was any difference as to how people got reassigned. Derek Taylor, Golf employee, stated that it was well known that at any time an employee could be reassigned to the Parks Department and vice versa because they were Golf and Park Maintenance Workers. Dennis McDaniels, Parks employee, stated that to his knowledge there had never been any commingling between the two Departments. He also stated that he was not sure whether or not it was a possibility, but as far as he knows it has never been put in place. Mark Smith, Golf employee, stated that several Golf employees had taken lateral transfers to the Parks Department | CivilServiceBoard/2008-11-19.pdf |
