HomeMy WebLinkAbout1999 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE December 6, 1999 4:50 p.m. Council Chambers Members present: Chairperson Getty, Gronen. Members absent: Krizek. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Getty that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Two. Absent: Krizek. Motion carried. The Insurability Criteria For Driving City Vehicles Policy was reviewed by Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director. Mr. Rodemeyer reported that the policy was discussed at a meeting in early November with union and insurance representatives. Following the meeting, several revisions were made to the policy. The dollar amount for property damage was deleted in paragraph II D, involvement of the Department Head along with the Personnel Director and City Clerk in the determination of an employee's future employment status and recognizing additional criteria such as an employee's past driving history and record of service as part of the review process. At the various meetings, Police and Fire Union representatives requested that the policy also be revised to allow employees, in job classifications where driving is an essential function, to remain in the classification and be excused from driving responsibilities if the employee is no longer insurable or loses his or her driver's license. This concept has not been incorporated as part of the revised policy because it would establish a precedent for other employees to make similar requests to be relieved of certain job duties or assignments. Mr. Rodemeyer reported that he is opposed to allowing an employee to continue to work in a job classification that requires driving as an essential function if that employee can no longer drive or is no longer insurable. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that he contacted other Iowa cities, and the survey illustrates that most other Iowa cities already have similar written policies in this area or informally follow similar criteria. Police Officer Hector Camarin noted that Section IID defines at-fault as being cited by a law enforcement officer or being found at-fault by the Accident Review Committee even though no citation was written. Officer Camarin stated that the Accident Review Committee can only review whether an accident was preventable or non-preventable. Officer Camarin asked if the strict standards as to the number of accidents were set by the insurance company. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that the standards were developed by the city, but that the insurance company thought the standards were very liberal. Officer Camarin noted that Section IIB states that four or more citations for moving violations within a three-year period will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Officer Camaran stated that he feels four or more is excessive, that other cities do not have anything that hard and he would like it excluded from the policy. Police Officer Rich Hesse, Vice President of the Police Protective Association, stated that he feels insurance is a topic of bargaining, and that it should be discussed during bargaining. Officer Hesse stated that all employees are insurable. Officer Hesse stated that the amount of property damage started at $5,000, then $7,500 and now there is no dollar amount, and he feels that is too broad. Officer Hesse stated that the accidents will be reviewed by the Personnel Director, City Clerk, and Department Head, and that he has a serious problem with outsiders looking at his personnel file. Officer Hesse stated that it is too vague, that the police are first responders and they can't control answering a call where a child runs out or a car that doesn't stop. Officer Hesse stated that they will have the Accident Review Committee and this policy standing over them. Mr. Rodemeyer reported that the dollar amount was removed from the policy at the request of the Police and Fire Unions, and now you are saying it is too arbitrary. Officer Keith Rogers stated that he has a problem with the policy, and that $7,500 is an arbitrary figure. Officer Rogers stated that the problem is we went from arbitrary to no amount, and he }izaj0/CIDD pa3og AouUN •paureo uorloJ,\ •xazu}I :luasgy •ones :saAy •ur•d SZ:S In paumofpn aq Supaaur alp w4I uauOID Xq papuooas 'Amp Aq panour snm li `aalliururoo alp aiojaq ssauisnq Iag1In3 ou gI?M •pauJeo uorlow •3azir}I :luasgy •omj :saAy •sxaam oml ui nounoo jjlg alp of papJvisAJoj aq Xoijod sajoigaA A3'D guinuu .ioj eualuD AItjiquznsul auI Ingl uauo10 Aq papuooas `AIIap Xq pa/wits' •Alijigeinsui jo sp.repuels 1lag1 Jo Adoo a glim Alp alp apinold Aueduroo aounznsu! alp Iegl palsanbal sem II •uorssajoid Jaglo Aun imp lua.raJJIp ou are sp1epuels am Iegl palou uauoJD uosladjrounop •1oloariU IauuosJad agl pue Iuauw2JedaU aorjod agl uaamlaq lo!uuoo a a)jlj spunos Ii Imp palou uauo D uos1adjiounop •Aogod anrlrund a si li jaaj lou saop aq pue `Aoijod agl glim saa.r2e ag mu pawls uauo10 uoszadjiounop •qof ag3 Jo uorloun3 jeiluassa ue Si gutnup uagm uoiwogtssnjo qof e ui iCels of auoatuos Seurmojje of pasoddo sI aq wgl pue lamp aoijod agl glrm saa.z&esrp au rem pawls iaAaurapox •ry\j •suorsroap asagl a3eur of'MN sAnd Alp agl pun `sIaoIJo asagl.IOJ sea.IR Jaglo pug pjnoo aq rem pawls uasJgao}I jam •pnq 0.re saounlsurno1io agl 3i suoildo Iaglo sng aq rum pawls uasnjaox 3aND •1aogjo un alg of urrg lon1lsui pjnoo auoauros Aogod sup ulrm pun `auoauros 0111 Jo a1rg of,Cluoglne ajos agl urrg sanIO apop nmol agl Jo opt 1aldng3 rum pawls uasitiao}I 3aig3 •Aoijod agl uo IuauraazansIp uI are Burs pueunuoo s1g pun aq Iegl pawls uaslgao}I aivaag jolt° aotjod •ua}Io almb pasn sera„asuas uourtuoo„prom agl pun santlnluasardaa aoun.msul agl glim SuIlaaur alp papualw aq w4I pawls luauza redaU alid alp Jo .raquzatu d •Idaooe pjnom Amp wgm of se Suilum uI SuIu3Aun Alto alp uan1S set,Cunduwo aoue.msul au3 JI pa)jse.zao33o a4Z •ajq insuiun sI ags/au uagm anup of aaAojdura un mope Clio agl pip Cum aq pjnom uotlsanb Is1g alp luapiooe ue uI panjonui sI aaAojdura wgl3i Inq `uopuo'I Jo spXoj-I se gons `Xueduroo Jagloue glim .ramp e aInsuraI pjnoo AIio a4I w4I pawls iaAauzapo21 •.g^I •ajq 1nsui magi saVur wgm pa)jsn 04 pun tIMAIO WOW JO oml aneg ogm sIanup raw sla)oil au rem pawls .Iao1JO aogod d •op Apeage am wum Suilum ow!5uillnd lsnf Si/Clto agl spa.; ail will pawls Snag uos1adjiounop •siseq aseo-Aq-asno n uo luapioui goes le )Iooj puE uoisioap alp Aq aprgn Ijim ,Clio agl `1olnzlrgre ue 10 mnj Jo Imo n of ua}jel sI Aogod auI3i Intl pawls Alpo uosIadjiounop •Aogod agl glim op Clio auI pjnom wgm tram `IaoIJo aul 5uilnlsuiaz ui jfJssaoons Si uorinioossd a4I 3i pa3se 1al1n3 1aogjO •pawlsuiaa =WWO agl anng of Surgl,C.rana op jjim uotl1Ioossy agl `panj si zaoujo aogod a pun palonua Si Aoijod sigl 3i rum pawls aalre3 a}joO.Ig Joog30 •auotiana arnsul Ijim Amu pun Isoo ui aseaaout OU le 05n1an03 cures agl apino.rd ueo will Aueduroo n smou)j au `Aoijod slid pawpueur Aueduroo aoue.Insul alp JI Intl pawls xou}I •auaos agl uo uaaq Apea1Ie anng s.IaogJo aogod pauIezl legl palou mou}I •sluapIooe agl Suimaina1 aalltururop matnaw luapiood alp glrm pun QII gltm urajgoid n sng ail wql pawls xou}I rw1/1 unurarr l •spnag aragl IOAO asnog n Suilunm pun aalu3nnp pun ajim sit Inogn pauUom aq of SuIa Si ail asnnoaq JOOI agl qnolgl a jjim am!) asuodsaI alp sjaaj ail pun `s.raquraur a.rg pun aogod Jo Io1 e glim pa3jjel ail Iegl pawls s1a2ox z03113O •2UO1M Jo 31j U-r si OOS`L$ 2u1Aes lou sI ail rem palou s1a$o)I .raog3O •w4I glint urajgoid n sng Z aSed 6661 `9 iagwaoaQ aau utwoj/gaps alignd PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE November 22, 1999 4:20 p.m. Council Chambers Members present: Chairperson Getty, Krizek, Gronen. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Councilperson Getty stated that since the ordinances pertaining to loitering for the purpose of drug-related activities and prohibiting sale of drug paraphernalia were discussed at the Ordinance Committee meeting this evening with members of this committee it attendance, there was no reason to hold this meeting. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek that the meeting be adjourned at 4:44 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Nancy Eckert City Clerk PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE October 25, 1999 4:50 p.m. Council Chambers Members present: Chairperson Getty, Krizek, Gronen. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to hire four police officers effective January 3, 2000,was reviewed. The vacancies are due to three retirements and a resignation. In order to fill the vacancies and maintain the appropriate police officer level, the hiring date would be January 3, 2000. This will allow time to complete background investigation and other pre-employment testing mandates prior to the first of the year. Police Chief Koehrsen stated that he made a job offer to a Cedar Falls police officer who is currently attending the Law Enforcement Academy, and the police officer accepted the position. Upon hearing of the job offer, Cedar Falls officials terminated her. Chief Koehrsen reported that he offered to pay her salary, benefits and remaining schooling, but Cedar Falls wanted the city to reimburse them for her salary, uniforms, etc. from the date of August 13, 1999, which the city declined. Chief Koehrsen stated that there is one individual above her on the Civil Service list who is going to take the polygraph test, and if he fails the test Chief Koehrsen would like to have authorization to immediately hire the police officer from Cedar Falls in order to allow her to continue her training at the academy. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that authorization be given to hire four police officers with the effective date of January 3, 2000, except one officer could be hired immediately if the first person on the Civil Service fails the polygraph test. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to promote a captain, lieutenant and sergeant effective January 3, 2000, was reviewed. The vacancy is due to the retirement of Michael Beener on September 2, 1999. Because of the domino effect of the captain promotion, the Police Chief is requesting authorization to promote one lieutenant and one sergeant effective January 3, 2000. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that said request, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Police Chief for authorization to increase the copy fee for a police report from $5.00 to $10.00 was reviewed. The Police Department presently charges insurance companies, attorneys and others $5.00 for copies of various police reports. The fee has been in effect since October 1992. As of September 1999 the department has had 2,873 requests for police reports. The cost to produce copies of the reports has increased, and the Police Chief is requesting that the fees be increased from $5.00 to $10.00 per copy. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that said request be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that the meeting be adjourned at 5:01 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.

Bond funds in the amount of$8,02150 and police department forfeiture funds in the amount of $2,178.50 will be used to purchase said cameras. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek that the request of Police Chief for authorization to purchase three audio/video cameras at a cost of$10,200.00 be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The Memorandum of Agreement with Hawkeye Community College for basic emergency medical certification and recertification classes was reviewed. Hawkeye Community College will provide classroom/laboratory space, support personnel, and equipment as necessary. Hawkeye Community College will engage in marketing programs for Waterloo Fire Rescue Regional Training Center. The Hazardous Material Regional Training Center will have the use of HCC- EMS certified state instructor and additional space to offer classes. Waterloo Fire personnel will not have to pay fees for in-house continuing education hours, and Hawkeye Community College will assist with state regulations regarding curriculum, policies and procedures, and general guidelines. The Hawkeye Community College Education Director will be located at the Hazardous Material Training Center ten to fifteen hours per week. The Hawkeye Community College secretary and Hazardous Material Regional Training Center Administrative Secretary will remain at their present locations. In addition to present class offerings, Hazardous Material Regional Training Center instructors will teach new mandatory courses required by 2001 by EMS staff. There will be no increase of costs to either organization. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek that said Memorandum of Agreement be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Councilperson Getty reported that there was a robbery at the Kwik Star Store on Cedar Bend over the weekend, and he understands that the video camera in the store was not operating correctly. Chief Koehrsen stated that he will notify the store that they are not in compliance with the city's ordinance and give them time to become compliant. Councilperson Getty asked that the Police Department review the video cameras in all stores required to have them in place, and requested that the Police Chief report back to the committee. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek that the meeting be adjourned at 4:33 p.m. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Nancy Eckert City Clerk PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE September 20, 1999 5:30 p.m. Council Chambers Members present: Chairperson Getty, Krizek, Gronen. Moved by Gronen, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director, stated that there are two policies to be reviewed, the Insurability Criteria for Driving City Vehicles and Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy for Work Related Injuries and Vehicles and Equipment Accidents. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that a meeting was held with the Police and Fire Associates to discuss the policies, and the associations still have a problem with the policies. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that he met with Steve Piper, union representative for Local 353, and Mr. Piper is opposed to the policies because he feels they are too broad. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that the Personnel Department and City Clerk recommend approval of the policies and to forward them to the full council for approval. Police Officer Rich Carter stated that there are fourteen things listed on the qualifications for a police officer. Some will never change and some are checked as part of employment with the city. Police Officers must pass typing tests, physical examination, psychological examination and polygraph test and posses a valid driver's license at the time of hiring. Officer Carter stated that out of fourteen items, drivers license will be grounds for termination, and what makes this requirement more important than if he can hear the screams of a child or still see the street signs at night. Mayor Rooff asked if there is a case where someone lost their driver's license because of insurance being dropped. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that no public safety staff has ever been fired because of not being insured. Police Chief Bernie Koehrsen stated that if he received an order that an officer could not drive, the department does not have any non-driving duties. Currently, they would look at why the officer lost his/her license, and there is a step disciplinary policy in place. Chief Koehrsen stated that he feels that determination should be a decision of the department head. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that if an officer lost his license, he would recommend that the officer be laid off because they do not meet the essential function of the position, and that he would not recommend light duty. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that the Police Chief would make the final decision, and if he decides to create a job for an officer who loses his/her license, he would have to come before the council Councilperson Anders asked if the standards are different than in the private sector. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that it would be possible to acquire risk insurance, but the liability risk would come back to the city. Officer Carter stated that even though he may still be able to drive in the state of Iowa, the insurance company says he cannot drive. Councilperson Gronen stated this is no different than what he has to do or what Councilperson Jordan does for his employees. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that a written policy was created because of a situation this summer, and that we wanted to make all employees aware of the policy. The insurance company is not telling us what to do, they are just saying they won't insure them. Councilperson Murphy stated that the job qualification for all members of the Fire Department requires that they must be able to drive, but all firemen do not drive even though it is a requirement of the job. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that if you want to make that distinction than you should take driver's license requirement out of the job description. 31-10ID I1tD lra3i0g Aou fq •pouf o uotloji 'aaigi :saAy 'w'd 0£:9 w pau.mofpe aq Sutlaaw ag1 Imp uauoJrj Aq papuooas `)iazttx Aq pa/tow SEM 1! `aalnwwoo ag1 atogog ssauisnq sag2tn3 ou q1!M AourN pur J0Aawapox wif `aoueJnsuI mud '1S `suoiun alp g1IM painpagos aq Sutlaaw i wq1 pug `luawasinpe iapun sivawwoo aq1 a3i1l aalliwwo0 ail 1t?gl papuawwo0at AIIOJ uosJadi!OunoD •Aogod aql JOJ ansoietp apinoid uot1t9ossr ag1 wq1 palsaSSns JJoox iokryl 'p.repuels Jagstq a of a.tg pue aoiiod plow A1jguosjad aq wq1 paluawwoo jjoox ioAeyi •UOS 0t lgsu aq1 ioJ It alel of lnq `uotlor &.reugdtosip a)1 l‘uop SUtALs loll are Aogs 'Aogod aqi 01 Sutloafgo a.re iagl lnq `pros alp uo sionpp peq daal 01 SwA.14 1ou air Amp Imp paivawwoo 3atux luraSJas •luteidwoo aotlogid aningigoid E aig Ii!M uot1t0ossy anil0aloid a0god ay. `Aogod situ sldopg Alro ag13t Imp pawls 3atux lu eaSJas 'Suiuiesreq Jo s0idol £.wwpuew are Imp swan slsg '6 uoIIoas `OZ ialdgq) wq1 pawls `uotwtoossV angoalotd aoiiod aq.30 luaptsaid `3atuN p.regot i lueaSJas •00'00S`L$ w mien IMMO 10u 01E SOIOigan Alto awOS Imp put? `s3iotu1 aig Ailso0 ant.tp 04M sralgsgarg 01 .treJun Si 00.00S`L$ w astwgp Apodoid aq1 Suiogid wq1 pawls spinD stuuaG Jalgsga.tt,tI ua0gjo awutuua101 A uoglne alp Jatg3 °mtiod aqi Apo san4S apo3 EMoI wq1 pawls 0)jW i not p 'sluawa.nnba t _gagl maw uotwiotn alp Ji aotn.tas HAD wag p0A0w0 t aq Apo tiro siaogjo )Taps oiignd sees apoD gMoI aq1 wq1 pawls a3Z 11o°s nom) aoiiod •anup o1 uotstoap snoquaIOsuoo g aprw Amp `IMQ JoJ pa1a3otl st uos.tad Jt pawls )iazux uosiadiiounoD •pawutw.tal aq „Agw„ noA shs 1t 1nq pawutw.tal aq ii!M noA hs Aogod aq1 saop a tagMou wg1 paluawwoo uosladitounoD "To pm aq mom aaAoidwa pip go!'aq1 Jo uo!Iourg ietluassa ue Si Sunup Ji wg1 pawialtai Jahwapox 'ryu 'eualuo a0ur msut Si sanagaq ag 114M Jo asneoaq s.reaA SZ Jo3 Alto alp g41M wog O4M aaAoidwa ut? alrulaual 01 ptogauaq st It 3t pause pur iauuosjad /Claps oggnd SutureJl hump lot sand An0 alp wq1 pawls gosud loot_gp 'pa.msut loll aq 01 asuaon inoA asoi o1 mug 1ou op noA 1ioiiod sigl g11M Imp pawls gosud nom) 'Suiddogs aniw.redwo0 Aug auop sell Alto agl3t palsy gosud wtJ .ta°t p 00god •0nup o1 wagl SuiMogie 30 Aniiggii aq1 anvg mom am asneoaq pans laS ups mom Alto alp Imp pawls JaAawapo)l 'ryq 'Ana alp g11M paAoidwa aq o1 anutluo0 aqs/aq pinoo ioiiod aouRansut uMo .iaq/siq pautelgo aaAoidwa ui 3i palsy uauouD uosiaditounoD •aaAoidwa ag1 atg of sn iial loll pip Auedwo0 a0ueinsui ag1 wg1 pawls JaAawapox '.ryg 'a.msg Ai iuq u>? st 00'00S`L$ wg1 pawls iocomopo-1 •'NI •00.005`L$ Jo uoiwuiuualap aq1 apew oqM palsy uuew>?J 100111p 'aalliwwoD Maina21 luapi00V pue 3at4C a°god aq1 J01uo.g ut os mammy lid 'suotltpuo0 iagwaM fig ut.reaA a sAep 59£ any') lsnw �Cagi 'uMop Sut}1ngs Jo A.mxni alp melt loll op Amp snot o aotiod sr Imp pawls uurwe3 nom) •uoueutuual aigtssod pue 3aILD aotiod alp 01 papuewai aq mom ansst alp pm 1!3t Aogod agl 01 l0afgo pinoM uuewe3 J0011J)ji pave ioo2t JoAeyq Trail luawlredaU alp 01 uotlepuawwo0ai r oval o1 st aa11!wwoD Ma!na21 luaptooy aq1 Jo adoos L.rewud aq1 Imp pawls uuRWRD nom 'Auedwoo aourrnsui aq1 w01j Sutwo0 Si 1O90E tieutidt0sip ag1 spa.; aq lap pawls uuewe3 loloaH .10011 p 00t10d •uotst0ap 'rug aq1 031ew pinoM 3atq) aotiod aqi `IMQ 3o asneoaq asuoog Jaq/siq sasoi now() a0tiod a 3t pawls JJO021 JoAejA Z aged 6661 `OZ-10g1110id0S aomunuo3 kiajus owind Ij PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE July 26, 1999 4:50 p.m. Council Chambers Members present: Krizek, Gronen.

Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. A es: Three. Motion carried. Y The Insurability Criteria for Driving City Vehicles Policy was reviewed. Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director, stated that he has had conversations with several representatives of the bargaining units regarding the policy, but he has not received anything in writing. Mr. Ro stated that most were concerned with the dollar level of damages that triggers demeyer eithethe procedure and/or lack of insurability and concerns about what happens to eemployeesrwho are testing wholonger insurable. Mr. Rodemeyer reported that the city has been informed by its insurance carrier that the city's current driving standards adopted ten years ago are no longer sufficient and do not meet industry standards. The new standards will apply to all city employees who are required to drive city vehicles. Mr. Rodemeyer stated that there is no change to what would happen if an employee loses his/her license. If an employee has to drive as part of his/her job duties, they will be terminated which is the current policy. The following standards will be used when reviewing driving records for potential employees: A candidate who is required to operate a motor vehicle will not be considered for employment with the city if he/she has the following: A. Loss of license for DWI, reckless driving or other moving violation within the previous five years. A deferred judgment does not negate the loss of license and does not affect insurability or employability. B. Four or more citations for moving violations within the previous three-year period. C. Three or move citations for moving violations within the previous one-year period. Current employees who are required to operate a motor vehicle as a function of their job will have their driving record checked through the Department of Transportation at least yearly and more often depending on the individual record. The following standards will apply when reviewing driving records of current employees. A current employee who operates a city motor vehicle will be subject to the following: A. Loss of license for DWI, reckless driving or other moving violations. 1. If operating a vehicle is an essential function of the position, the employee will be terminated. 2. If operating a vehicle is an incidental function of the position, the following options will be offered: a. Provide your own personal vehicle and a personal driver. b.
