CivilServiceBoard | 2011-04-06 | 3 | City of Alameda Page 3 of 3 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting of April 6, 2011 have to put in place. Member McHugh asked if there could be stress and hardship to remaining employees to do the work. Chris Low explained that the intention is to fill the Meter Reader Collector, Police Records Supervisor and Public Works Supervisor positions. Jill Kovacs stated that the Police Department is holding off on filling the Police Sergeant positions due to the Interim Chief of Police status and budget uncertainties; for now they are utilizing acting assignments for these positions. Chris Low further commented that for now, the majority of the positions are going to be filled, and that next fiscal year will be tighter and we will have to figure out how to make up the shortfall. Member McHugh asked if this was an opportunity to consolidate the Police Sergeant positions. Jill Kovacs responded that some consolidation was done in the last Reduction in Force, but that there was not as much flexibility remaining since most of the Sergeant assignments were to Patrol. 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (PUBLIC COMMENT) There was no one present from the public. 7.
