CivilServiceBoard | 2010-01-06 | 2 | City of Alameda Page 2 of 3 Civil Service Board Agenda Regular Meeting of January 6, 2010 Member McHugh asked about the list of names for Police Officer and why this list was being presented to the Board in this manner. Chris Low stated that this is the first time the City has used the new system regarding the continuous postings of police officer positions. Executive Secretary Willis asked if in the future as new names are added, what would the Board see, the entire list or only the newly certified names? Chris Low responded that only the new names would be certified to the Board. Member McHugh stated that she thought this seemed like a good list. Chris Low stated that it is a good list but there are other steps that must be taken such as the background check which may potentially eliminate many of the names. Vice President Horikoshi moved to accept the consent calendar. Member McHugh seconded and the motion passed by a 4-0 vote. 5. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Activity Report Period of September 1, 2009 - November 30, 2009 Executive Secretary Willis explained that she had inadvertently left out the Activity Report from their packet. It was handed out to the Board. Member McHugh asked about the reason for the two separations. Staff responded that one was due to a resignation and the other due to a death. 5-B Civil Service Ordinance Executive Secretary Willis told the Board that the Civil Service Ordinance was passed by Council and had a new number. It has since been placed on the City website. General discussion ensued regarding the process and how long it had taken for this ordinance to be updated. 5-C Update on Reduction-In-Force Executive Secretary Willis updated the Board on the status of the lay-offs at the Golf Complex. She stated that eight employees were separated, one got another job with the City and one decided to retire. There is a job opening with Public Works and the City is hopeful that will result in someone else being able to get a position with the City. Those employees laid off are eligible to apply as an internal candidate for one year and are eligible for reinstatement into the position formerly held for two years. Vice President Horikoshi asked if reinstatement was done by seniority and asked if any of these employees had been with the City for a long period of time. Executive Secretary Willis responded in the affirmative regarding reinstatement and Ms. Kovacs stated that some employees had been with the City for over ten years. It was pointed out that the City continues to send notices of City job openings to those who were laid off. 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (PUBLIC COMMENT) There was no one present from the public. 7. CIVIL SERVICE BOARD COMMUNICATIONS (COMMUNICATIONS FROM BOARD) President Peeler asked if the City utilized equivalencies for the qualifications on City jobs and provided an example from the Controller job specification. Jill Kovacs responded that the City does allow for equivalencies with regard to education and experience in most cases. Executive Secretary Willis stated that there are cases where a degree is an absolute such as for an engineer or a librarian and in those cases, equivalencies would not be allowed. | CivilServiceBoard/2010-01-06.pdf |
