Home My WebLink About09/09/1993 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION September 9, 1993 6:45 p.m. First Floor Conference Room Members present: Dave Juon, Bonetta Culp, John Murphy Members excused: James Boyd Others present: Robert Dieter(Attorney for Commission), Michael Buckner(Attorney for Mr. Carlson), James Walsh(Attorney for City), Rich Carlson, Peggy Carlson, Roger Shook, Jim Rodemeyer, Cora Turner, Cheryl Huddleston Two items were added to the Agenda: 3. Set Date for Next Regular Meeting; 4. Hiring Temporary Employee for Human Rights Commission. Moved by Culp, seconded by Murphy to approve the Agenda as amended. NEW BUSINESS Police Officer List The Reserve Civil Service List for Police Officer was presented for certification. The original list was certified on September 15, 1992. The Police Department has applied for a large grant which, if received, will allow the Police Chief to add as many as thirteen (13) officers to the force. The officers on layoff would be called back first and the initial Civil Service List exhausted before the reserve list would be used. Murphy questioned whether the seniority issue in regard to military service had been resolved. Jim Rodemeyer said that issue will be addressed at the next regularly scheduled Civil Service Meeting. Moved by Murphy, seconded by Culp: We, the members of the Civil Service Commission, certify the following Reserve List of applicants, who are eligible based upon the examination process as set forth by the Civil Service Commission for the appointment to the position of Police Officer for the City of Waterloo, Iowa. Appointment(s) shall be made from this Reserve List for the next year (September 9, 1993 - September 14, 1994) upon exhaustion of the Certified List. RESERVE LIST Loran Hall Rodney Bunn Thomas Williams David Osterquist - Chad Stoffregen Brian Weldon Douglas Frost Theadore Kraft Aaron Simon Charlene Getchell Motion carried. Carlson Juon suggested the Commission see what issues (i .e. seniority, performance, layoff) the attorneys representing the City and Mr. Carlson are planning to address at the September 17, 1993 hearing. Attorney Walsh, representing the City, said the City's stance is that the primary issue is the layoff of Mr. Carlson as governed by Iowa Code Chapter 400.28. He would like to avoid hearing over and over that Mr. Tagtow and Mr. Carlson did not get along since probably nobody would dispute that issue. Attorney Buckner, representing Mr. Carlson, said his stance will be that this was actually a termination in the guise of a layoff. If the Commission rules it was a layoff under Chapter 400.28, the seniority issue pursuant to the Code will be addressed. Mr. Buckner also maintained that the issue of personalities will enter because Mr. Carlson maintains that was why he was laid off (terminated) rather than someone else. He will present testimony on the history of the employment relationship between Mr. Tagtow and Mr. Carlson and this will require calling a few witnesses to speak on this matter. Attorney Walsh wondered if the hearing could be shortened by all involved agreeing that Mr. Carlson and his witnesses will say that Mr. Tagtow is not the best park director in the world? There was no response to this inquiry. He said the decision should be made tonight who will present first and whether evidence can be presented only in person or if letters and affidavits will be acceptable. He suggested the following scenario: - The City presents its case based on 400.28 - Buckner presents why he thinks the issue is outside of 400.28 - Commission makes determination on this issue - Hearing ends or moves forward based on Commission determination Jog}Pny/halo 6(4goy .aeAewaj allayo}W •peu.anorpla seM 6u}3aaw egg 'sseu}snq Jay3.anj ou gum •ewp s}43 3e Jap.ao .aoj uo}3eo}lddy ayg uodn Bola o3 3ou uo}s}0ap egg apew (ayj 'wed oy:1 gla 6u}3aew J Ln6eJ egg pewnsa.a uo}ss}wwoo ayj •uo v puewwo0a.a sno}naJ d sdaga}Q ',AN gum a0ulap.a000e u} •w•d gZ:t le uo}sses an}3noex3 o3u} 'gum uo}ss}wwoo ayj .JeJeeLo s} pAo8 •.iW Jo sngegs egg l}lun eeAoldwe wpe3u} Lai se Aluo pe.a}y eq l l}M pus su}eueq an}aoa.a you ll}M lnq 3s}le}0ads sgg6}8 uewnH Joj. e s a e6eM 6u}uu}6eq egg an}aoa.a ll}M uomsod ay3 6u}1A}j uos.aad ayj 'AlleuJagu} pe3sod pus ao}n.aas qor 440 pags}l eq ll}M qor ayj •)saaM 3xeu u}6eq il}M guewun.aoa.a ` l}ounoo Ago egg Aq pez}.aoygne jI •Jogs6}4seAu} us se )IJOM o3 uo}ss}wwoo s3g61.a uewnH ayg .aoj. eeAoldwe AJsJodwe3 a >lees og quew3.aedao lauuosJad egg JOJ uo}3eztJoy3ne egg uan}6 slay ea32}wwoo saoJnosa8 uewnH egg gap pe3JodeJ JaAewepoa w}r sgg61.11 uewnH-aaAoldw3 kieJodwal •w•d oc:E 3e E66} `g Jegopoo uo play eq ll}M 6u}3aaW a0}n.ies l}n}o .asln6a.1 gxeu ayj also bu}3aep •uo}sses pesolo o3u} 6u}06 a.aojeq epue6y egg uo swa3} Jeggo egg ys}u},} o3 pep}oep sum 31 •Jap () .aoj uo}4e0}1.ddy 6u}pued egg ssnos}p og Jage o •.ip Jo uo}3epuewwo3eJ egg uodn uo}sses an}3noax3 oqu} 06 03 pep}oap uo}ssiwwoo ayj •lap}0ap og MoiJ owog l}3un al}l pinoM pus Mou uo}3senb 4044 JUMsue you woo ay p}es aH 'Jap.ao Joj uo}3eo}lddy o3 asuodsaa pus aouels}saa s,A3}o egg o3 asuodsaa s eAsq pinoM eq pe sla seM .aeuiona AeuJo33y 'Ja33ew egg Jo Ma}na.a Jagg.anj gnoy3}M 6u}ln.a a elm pinoo Aeg3 pee Sou p}p s.aegwew uo}ss}wwoo ayj •e sp 6u}.aeay IG Jagwagdas ayj e.aojeq apew 6u}lna a pup pessa.appe eq .aep.ao .aoj uo}3eo}lddy sly 2e43 pa>lss .aeupon8 •uo}sses pesolo e s3sanbeJ .uego siy .ao .aeolona ssalun uado eq 11}M 6upeay egg 4la42 paa.a6e osie SUM 41 'E661 `9l Jegwe3des `Aeps.anyj 'wee 00:01 Aq uo}ss}wwoo egg Jo )lualo agg o3 sesseu3}M le33ngaJ pus AJew}.ad ygoq Jo s3s}l ep}no.ad o3 sAeuJo33e ygoq Aq apew eq ll}M 3dwa33e uy •sal.gJed ygoq Aq palled eq og sassau3}M 6u}p.ae6eJ pes}e.a sum uo}3senb ayj •3u}e.a3suoo s}y3 o3 eeJ6e Sou p}p .aeulong AauJo33y 3nq `3i41. awl. a 6u}33as pa3sa66ns osle yslep AauJo33y •suo}2en2}s uo}3}sodap lewJol pone 02 paa.a6e seM 2' •peMolloj eq og a.anpeooJd egg 6u}p.ae6eJ Jelel ys1CM Aeu.JO22y 30eguoo p l n0M ay pap pep oep sum '4} pus o peueos s .q3 Jep}suoo og law}2 ewos pa3ueM .aeuNon8 AeuJo33y
