Home My WebLink About04/23/1991 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MINUTES 4:15 p.m. April 23, 1991 First Floor Conference Room Members present: Dave Juon, Bonetta Culp, B. J. Furgerson Members absent: John Murphy Others present: Chief Koehrsen, John Meyer, Frank Magsamen, Sang-Ki Han, Doug Kroells, Paul Huting, Rosemary Hayes, Jim Rodemeyer, Cora Turner, Cheryl Huddleston Jim Rodemeyer requested to amend the agenda by taking Item #1 under "Other Business" - "request from Doug Kroells" and add it to Item #1 under "Unfinished Business" - "Certification of Paramedic Supervisor." Also, to amend the testing criteria in Item #2(c) under "Unfinished Business" - "Bookkeeper" to include a written examination. The Agenda for April 23, 1991 was approved as amended. The Minutes of March 14, 1991 were approved as mailed. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Paramedic Doug Kroells spoke before the Commission concerning the minimum qualifications and testing process for Medical Supervisor--Fire Rescue. He reiterated what was in his letter to the Commission. He also questioned why the position of "crewleader" was not a recognized position after 15 months and told the Commission that the Fire Chief had told the "crewleaders" the positions were permanent including the increase in pay rate. Kroells also stated that he felt the Department had already preselected a person to fill the job and that this person was in fact already performing some of the duties of the position. Kroells said that he had been told he did not qualify for Medical Supervisor because he did not have at least five years with the Waterloo Fire Department and that no one was promoted without that minimum five years; yet the "crewleader" appointment was a promotion. Rodemeyer responded that it was the Personnel Department' s understanding that the crewleader appointments were temporary out-of-rank positions and explained to the Commission that new positions must be negotiated and developed under the structured Civil Service process; this has not been done with "crewleader" so the position "does not formally exist as far as Personnel is concerned." B. J. Furgerson commented that a department head should not be allowed to do this type of thing when personnel functions are centralized. Rodemeyer said the five year requirement has existed for many years because it is felt a new employee needs this orientation time prior to a promotion. Culp questioned how the "crewleaders" were selected. Magsamen explained it was based on experience as a paramedic, with the City of Waterloo or otherwise, and was meant to be a temporary appointment. Furgerson questioned if there was anything in writing on the "crewleader" position. Magsamen commented that a memo was posted for staff to sign who wanted to be considered for the positions. stgl ;o SE osTE :WME6 pup mil 'au '3b18 'WSb sapnTout dnoab stay •ssaooad buTgsa.4 age uT anutquoo o4 pa4TAut uaaq ansq sa.4eptpuso uanas-A11T3 •T66T 'ZT ITadv uo s4aagTy eTAZ Aq paaa.4stuTwpe uoT-4eutwexa uag4T1M ' WdI ago xOO saleptpuso autu-A.4xts paapunq auO •pantaoaa aaaM sawnsaa oMq-Akan; paapung oM.4--aeot;;O aoTTod •uoos pa1npagos aq TTTM sMatnae4uI 'S10119 ;o 4au wdM or ao; luaweatnbaa butdA.4 ag.4 pat;sT4es sagsptpuso xis-AquaMq ATuo 4nq pantaoaa aaaM sawnsaa Alao3 •166T '8 TTadY►-6Z go1EW woa; squawgasdap Alto TTs uT pus 'SbuT4sTT U0 O'1 anTppwaTIly aq.4 TP TM 'EMOI ;o aoTAaas qor qv-cm 'aatanop alp uT pastlaanps--.4uaw4aedaQ 91T3 I XieTO :suot trod buTMollo; alp uo segspdn paquasead aaAawapog uizr •quawiuTodde aostnaadns TeoTpaW ago uo uoT4EO-mgou pagsenbaa du-to •pataaeo uot.4oW • o4sTa3 TasgoTW aaATTaM aAaLs suacgaty woj, U9S90g ptAPQ ySI'I Q'iII3LL 3 ' (E66T 'ZZ TT1dYi - 1661 'SZ 'Tidy) saeaA oMq .43cau alp 10; .4sTT Stg.
