CivilServiceBoard | 2012-06-06 | 6 | wrongly laid-off on the basis of not having an equal opportunity through the process. Mr. Wong thanked the Board for their time and hopes they will make the right decision. Ms. Marcia Tsang, former ARPD Recreation Program Coordinator in charge of Fee Classes and Facilities Rentals, agreed with what Ms. Blumkin and Mr. Wong had stated. She highly recommends that the Board review how they selected current program coordinators and she believes it was not a fair process after hearing from the supervisor and managers that they used to work with and what they had been told in the office and how the process was done. President Peeler invited Chris Low, Senior Management Analyst, to provide his information. Mr. Low stated that he was providing information on the recent work force change implemented in ARPD, the subsequent recruitment and selection process, and personnel appointments to Recreation Services Specialists. Part of what has already been presented by Mr. Gossman, Ms. Blumkin, Mr. Wong, and Ms. Tsang is that yes, on March 2, 2012 the Human Resource Director informed Linda Justus, ACEA President, advising her of the City's intent to recommend and implement a reorganization of ARPD which included eliminating four Recreation Program Coordinator positions, creating a new classification of Recreation Services Specialist and finally recruiting and appointing three individuals to that new classification. Implementation of the work force change and filling of the Recreation Services Specialist positions would be the first steps of reorganizing ARPD toward a model of maximum cost recovery with no effect on front-line services. The parties met and conferred, in good faith, regarding the impacts of the reorganization on April 17, 2012. The initial information to ACEA was on March 2, 2012. On April 3, 2012, the City Council approved a work force change in ARPD by amending the ACEA salary schedule to include the salary range for Recreation Services Specialist. A number of folks who are in attendance today also attended that Council meeting. As a result of Council's action, on April 4, 2012 a promotional recruitment was posted. The Human Resources Department received six applications. Application materials were scrutinized to make sure that the folks who applied did meet the minimum qualifications for the Recreation Services Specialist and all were invited to participate in the selection process, which they did. The recruitment closed on April 11, 2012 and on April 12, 2012 the applicants supplemental questionnaire responses were redacted of any personal identifying information and sent to two external subject matter experts to be evaluated objectively. One of those individuals was named previously and she is with the East Bay Regional Park District. The second person who was not identified works for the Hayward Area Recreation District.
