CivilServiceBoard | 2012-06-06 | 7 | The supplemental questionnaire responses were sent out on April 12, 2012 and were returned on Monday, April 16, 2012 and Tuesday, April 17, 2012. On April 17, 2012 all six applicants were interviewed by Assistant City Manager Lisa Goldman, Recreation Supervisor Patrick Russi, and at that time the City of Pinole's Park and Recreation Director Amy Wooldridge, who is currently the City of Alameda's ARPD Director. The scores from the supplemental questionnaire and structural interviews were reviewed and combined and as a result the eligible list was established and certified. On the afternoon of April 17, the City and ACEA met and discussed in good faith the impacts of this work force change and on that afternoon signed the agreement regarding the budget reduction and the elimination of four Recreation Coordinator positions. On April 18, 2012, Mr. Low contacted Mr. Gossman to discuss a potential staffing situation that we (the City) were going to be having that coming weekend with regards to Earth Day. We (the City) agreed to allow incumbent recreation coordinator employees to work leading up to Earth Day on Friday as well as Earth Day events on April 21. This is an important point because lay-off letters to some of the Recreation Program Coordinators were going to be handed out the next day on Thursday, April 19. Mr. Low contacted Mr. Gossman on April 18 knowing that the request that he was making on behalf of the City for some employees to continue working on the following Friday and Saturday, perhaps the day before they were going to get their lay-off notices, was a very sensitive issue. So on that April 19, 2012, as was talked about, the City did deliver three lay-off letters to three of the Recreation Program Coordinator employees and also extended three job offer letters to become Recreation Services Specialists to the three other applicants. Mr. Low stated that he provided additional information to Mr. Gossman and the Board to quickly review so the Board has a sense of how things progressed. Looking at the first memo from Mr. Low to the Board, via the HR Director, on page one toward the bottom it indicates that on April 23, 1012 a letter addressed to Human Resource (HR) Director and Civil Service Board Members was received requesting to appeal the Recreation Services Specialist examination pursuant to Civil Service Rules Article VI, Section VIII, entitled Appeal of Rejection. Exhibit Il in the packet is the letter that was received by the HR Director Holly Brock-Cohn. On April 26, 2012 HR Director met with Ms. Blumkin, Ms. Tsang, Mr. Gossman, and Ms. Justus. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs observed the meeting. That is when Mr. Gossman presented the document Exhibit III, Civil Service Appeal. Responses made to questions raised by Mr. Gossman are attached as Exhibit IV. Mr. Low stated that, in terms of time, we can talk about those questions, read Mr. Gossman's requests and provide an answer if it is the Board's desire. Vice President Horikoshi stated that it was agreed that each side would have ten minutes and asked if the Board should adhere to the time line. President Peeler stated that the Board will have to review it. Vice President Horikoshi agreed that it needed to be reviewed. He was asking as to how the Board should proceed.
