CivilServiceBoard | 2012-06-06 | 18 | Board does not have the authority to direct anybody at the City and does not have any funds. If the Board does not feel that they will get a fair analysis then do not take her up on her offer and she will save her funds for something else. Mr. Peterson stated that he thinks at City Attorney Kern's direction, is she going to direct them to look at things that may make their (the City's) case weaker. That is his point. City Attorney Kern stated that she would ask the Board to direct what they want done. But Mr. Peterson needs to understand that their (the Board's) lawyer is going to help keep them contained into what is in their purview and it is not going to be who gets the job and who does not get the job. It is going to be if the process was fair and if the process is found to not have been fair, then what they (Board) have the authority to do is vacate the whole thing and start all over again. Mr. Peterson asked a hypothetical, if the Board finds that two of the people do not have the qualifications to be considered for the job, would that be enough to say it was not fair. Mr. Riddle stated that hypotheticals are really not what the Board should be doing at this point. The Board ought to be making a decision about whether they have the information they need and what process is needed to go forward. President Peeler stated the Board feels they need more time and discussed when they would like to next meet. Mr. Riddle stated that the Board needs to meet again to determine the steps needed to be going forward after they read all the material. HR Director Brock-Cohn stated that the next regularly scheduled Civil Service Board meeting is Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Mr. Riddle stated that if the Board would like to take up the City Attorney's offer of an investigation that could be taken up at this time also. Member McHugh stated that the Board needs to take time to look at material and that the City Attorney's offer to do an investigation is very appealing to her. Again, once the material has been looked at there may be more specific questions. Mr. Riddle stated that if the Board decides they want an investigator and have questions to be addressed, the Board could send those questions to Mr. Riddle and he would forward them to the investigator. Member Malloy stated that in her experience an investigation can take a while to set up and she is not sure that a week would be a reasonable limit to put upon the Board to send questions. However time is of the essence, we are talking about individuals lives who are unemployed and living in limbo. Mr. Riddle stated that if the next meeting is on July 11 that is about a month to have the investigation and get the questions out. President Peeler stated we should have a deadline to get the questions together.
