CivilServiceBoard | 2017-10-18 | 7 | City of Alameda Page 7 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting October 18, 2017 the Maintenance Foreperson position, and approximately ten (10) total between the MWI, and MWII. 5-E. Recommendation to Revise the City's Civil Service Rules on How Candidates shall be Scored, Ranked and Certified on the City's Eligibility Lists to Eliminate the Need to Break Ties in Final Scores Member Nolan asked clarification on the recommended Civil Service Rule change and how it will be applied. HR Director Bronstein explained that currently if two applicants receive the same score, one of the ways to break the tie is by how soon their application was received. This may leave the other candidate ranked for example number six on the eligible list and potentially not certified to the department if only the top five names are to be certified depending on the classification and number of vacancies. The rule change would remove the need to break ties and certify the top five ranks instead of five names. HR Director Bronstein continued with an example with the Firefighter recruitment where there was a tie within a tie which lead to examining further into another component to break the tie. Member Nolan asked if this happens frequently and HR Director Bronstein answered that it does happen often. Senior HR Analyst Young added that the only reason a tie break is required is because the language in the Civil Service Rules where you have to certify names not rank. Member Nolan asked if there is a rule of the list. HR Director Bronstein answered there is no rule of the list however Senior HR Analyst Young did add there are certain classifications that have licensing requirements such as the Civil Engineer, therefore the full list will be certified. HR Analyst Il Sabina Netto also explained for Police Officers, everyone that passes the test will be placed on the list and the department is required to contact every person that is referred. Member Nolan asked how long people stay on that list. HR Analyst II Netto explained those who do not pass background will receive a non- select letter and their names will be removed from the list. HR Director Bronstein also stated that eventually the recruitment will be closed and opened again so that names are not sitting on the list for a long period of time but also lists can be extended up to 18 months. Member Nolan wanted clarification on the Civil Service Rules Section 1e of Article VII. HR Director Bronstein explained that this section refers to Police in that they are hired initially as part-time recruit then moved into a full-time classification without having to go through a recruitment because we are paying to train them. Vice President Malloy noted that to further discuss this section of the Civil Service Rules it would need to be on the agenda for the next meeting, which the was agreed by Member Nolan and HR Director Bronstein. Assistant City Attorney II Alan Cohen recommend that if the changes are adopted, to update the Civil Service Rule revised date on the cover with October 18, 2017 date. Member Brandt moved to accept the changes to the Civil Service Rules. Motion was seconded by Member Hosmer, which was passed by a 4-0 vote. (Malloy - | CivilServiceBoard/2017-10-18.pdf |
