CivilServiceBoard | 2012-06-06 | 12 | unfair and may be deciding that the test should be redone. Member Malloy stated that the Board may decide that the test was not fair with respect to one, two or three specific individuals and may seek information about those individuals that may help the Board in making a decision, correct? Mr. Riddle stated that if some of the information is in written form it may well be confidential. He will look at holding a closed session as the Board moves forward. The Board can schedule a date for when to hold a meeting and he can provide advice on whether to do the meeting in an open or closed session. Normally it is an appointment of an individual, discipline of an individual, or evaluation of a current employee; those are the types of situations that the Board can lawfully go into a closed session. Mr. Riddle stated that the Board will not be making the decision of whether one employee versus another will get hired. Ultimately that decision is up to the administration. What the Board will do is determine whether the test was fair and/or whether the test will be redone. That is what the issue is before the Board. If that happens everyone will presumably take the test again and there will be new results and selections from that test. This Board will not be determining which individuals get hired. That is not part of the authority of the Board in his legal opinion. Member McHugh stated that she needs to digest the materials and will then have questions. She feels that there will be people in the room that she would like to question. She asked if a week would be sufficient. President Peeler stated she is not available in a week. Mr. Riddle is also unavailable. Member Horikoshi asked the Board if it is unreasonable to try to read through the material now. He knows that there is a lot of material. Member Malloy stated that she feels it is reasonable, but it depends on what time commitment others may have. It is reasonable to do it and reconvene and ask questions. President Peeler stated she is willing to do that. Mr. Riddle asked the Board if they would like to take a 20-30 minute recess and reconvene. Mr. Peterson asked the Board if they really thought that a 20-30 minute recess is a fair time for a fair perusal all of the information. President Peeler stated the Board needs to read the information. Mr. Peterson stated that it could be two weeks; it does not need to be tomorrow. He does not want to have a rush to judgment. The Board needs to look at all the facts. Needs to look at who set it up. Why was Dale Lillard setting this up? President Peeler stated that the Board will take a 20 minute recess and then will reconvene. The Board may have questions and will reconvene at 6:20 p.m. Meeting was reconvened at 6:25 p.m. President Peeler asked the Board if they have any questions.
