6: 15 p.m.
Second Floor Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Brown, Wright and Fox.
It was moved by Fox, seconded by Wright that the Agenda, as
amended to delete Item No. 1 entitled "Request from the
Police Chief to appoint a Civilian Dispatcher from an
existing Civil Service List" be approved. Motion carried.
Jim Rodemeyer, Personnel Director, stated that the civilian
dispatcher appointment had been removed since an existing
dispatcher who has been on disability has indicated that he
would be able to come back to work in the next several
months.
The request of the Public Works Director/Water Pollution
Control Superintendent for authorization to appoint a Waste
Water Operator I from an existing Civil Service List and to
initiate the Civil Service process for Waste Water Operator
I due to additional vacancies was reviewed. Mr. Rodemeyer
indicated that the existing list consists of three names,
with one name remaining. It was moved by Wright, seconded
by Fox that said request be approved. Motion carried.
Police Chief Koehrsen updated the Committee on staffing
problems of the Police Department first floor reception area
on weekends and holidays. He reported that in May, 1990,
police officers who were assigned to the front desk were
re-assigned to the street. The reception counter was then
staffed with civilian employees on first and second watch on
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The annual overtime cost
for this staffing is $28, 000. In order to address a
department deficit, the Chief proposed that staffing of the
front counter on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays be more
limited and that customers express their business
telephonically with the dispatchers. A special telephone
will be placed at the reception counter with a direct line
to the dispatch office. The dispatcher will assess the
individual' s need and will determine whether to request the
assistance of the Watch Commander, call on officer from the
street, or direct the person to conduct their business
during normal business hours Monday through Friday.
This new arrangement is acceptable to the Teamsters
employees currently providing the overtime assistance.
Discussion was heard concerning the level of service that
this arrangement would provide. The Committee members felt
that such an arrangement would be feasible since the
Department will continue to handle emergency calls and have
the less mundane calls handled during the regular business
hours during the week.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Fox that said staffing
of the first floor Police Department reception area on
weekends and holidays as proposed be approved. Motion
carried.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 6:35 p.m.

Members present: Chairperson Brown, Wright and Fox.
It was moved by Fox, seconded by Wright that the Agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Motion carried.
The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to hire a
fire fighter from an existing Civil Service list was
reviewed. The vacancy results pending a job connected
disability by Robert Brandes. It was moved by Fox, seconded
by Wright that authorization be given to the Fire Chief to
hire said fire fighter. Motion carried.
The request of the Park Director to fill a Park Maintenance
I position due to a resignation was reviewed. It was moved
by Wright, seconded by Fox that authorization be given to
fill said vacancy as requested. Motion carried.
Councilperson Wright expressed her concern regarding the
appointment of a particular individual who lives in the city
of Holland, Iowa, to the position of Sanitation Operator.
She reported that there are individuals on the list who
reside in the city of Waterloo that certainly qualify for
the job and should have been appointed. Jim Rodemeyer,
Personnel Director, stated that this individual has been a
seasonal employee of the City for the past three to four
years in both the Sanitation and Street Departments. State
law and city policy states that the City cannot mandate that
Civil Service employees filling CRITICAL POSITIONS live
within the city limits. However, the law does allow the
City to establish reasonable maximum distances outside of
the corporate limits for purposes of residency. In 1981 the
City Council adopted a resolution that stated that employees
must be able to respond to their primary job site within 30
minutes . This response time has been loosely interpreted to
mean that employees can live in a 25 to 30 mile radius from
their primary work site. This individual has agreed to meet
this requirement during the first ninety days of his
probationary period.
Councilperson Angel suggested that the process for
establishment of Civil Service lists may need further review
and explanation.
Personnel Director Jim Rodemeyer stated that if the Human
Resources Committee so desired a work session could be
scheduled in the near future to discuss these concerns.
With no further business before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned.

proceed

6 : 15 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Brown, Wright and Fox.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Fox that the Agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Motion carried.
The request of the Fire Chief to hire ten fire fighters from
a certified Civil Service list was discussed. Chief Stan
Stapella explained that the Department currently has six
vacancies, two people on disability, and two pending
retirements. Funding for four of the ten positions is not
budgeted in the current year' s budget. The Chief explained
that he currently has no overtime budgeted making it
difficult to keep all equipment in service. Without the
hiring of the additional fire fighters, he may have to put
one aerial out of service. He explained that currently 60%
to 70% of the time the third aerial in the Department is out
of service. He also stated that engine companies are now
running with two men minimums and three maximums which is
less than desirable. He also explained the calls for
service as compared to 1978 have increased significantly.
In 1978 , there were 134 fire fighters on the Department. In
1990, the Department is at 123 . Even though manpower levels
have decreased, calls for service have increased 47% and a
20% increase in ambulance calls compared to the base year.
He also explained that the Department has taken on the
hazardous material program. He reported that training
certification is up 500% from the base year. All in all,
training and calls for service has necessitated the need for
additional fire fighters. He also explained the income for
the current year is projected at $400,000 . In 1978, the
Department' s annual revenue was $150,000 .
Larry P. Burger, Clerk/Auditor, recommended that due to City
fiscal restraints that only six fire fighters be hired at
the present time. He explained that the City' s cash
reserves are running dangerously low and hiring additional
fire fighters will strain the current year budget. He also
explained that even though the City anticipated the higher
tax base, valuations indicate that the tax base will not
increase significantly and thus will hamper the City' s
ability to increase City budgets substantially next year.
Councilperson Wright supported the Chief ' s request stating
that if the need exists for additional fire fighters, the
money for their hiring must be found. Both councilpersons
Brown and Fox indicated that they could not support the
request for additional manpower beyond the budgeted amount
considering the City' s financial picture.
It was moved by Fox, seconded by Brown that the Fire Chief
be given authorization to proceed with the hiring of six
fire fighters. Ayes: Fox, Brown. Nays: Wright. Motion
carried.
The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to accept
the proposal of "Women in the Fire Service" for sensitivity
training sessions for members in the Department was
discussed. The first certified list contains one black
female which would be the first female hired in the
Department' s history. The total cost of the class is
$2, 132 .

HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE
August 20, 1990
6 : 00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Chairperson Brown, Wright and Fox.
It was moved by Fox, seconded by Angel that the Agenda, as
proposed, be approved. Motion carried.
The request of the Police Chief to hire police officers from
a Certified Civil Service List was reviewed. Chief
Koehrsen requested hiring 12 officers to fill vacancies
created by the retirements of Captain Don Kehoe, Sergeant
Newton and Officers Barker, Piper and Bengfort, and the
resignation of Officer Brown. In addition, four experienced
police officers will be used for the school liaison/DARE
officer program. This request also includes the
replacement of these four officers that will be transferred
to this program. In addition, the Chief is requesting two
additional officers to begin replenishing strength of the
Department that has steadily decreased through the years .
Larry Burger, Clerk/Auditor, stated that six of the
positions are budgeted. The liaison officers will be funded
through last year' s cash carry over. The Waterloo School
Board is expected to contribute $25,000 to the cost of the
school liaison program. The other two officers will be
funded from overtime savings that the Department is
currently paying due to the shortage of manpower. Future
cost of the officers will need to be budgeted in subsequent
years. The approximate cost of an officer, including
benefits, is $30,000 annually.
It was moved by Wright, seconded by Fox that the Police
Chief be given authorization to hire 12 officers from an
existing Civil Service list. Prior to a vote, Councilperson
Fox stated that he supported the need for additional
officers and was somewhat uncomfortable paying for these
officers from the City' s reserve. Mayor McKinley pointed
out that these hirings will significantly reduce overtime
costs. A vote was taken on the above motion with the
following results: Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
The request of the Police Chief to fill a Captain' s position
due to the disability retirement of Captain Don Kehoe was
reviewed. It was moved by Fox, seconded by Wright that
authorization be given to fill said Captain' s position.
Motion carried.
Chief Koehrsen presented a summary of the recent recruitment
process for police officer. He reported that the two lists
contained one black female, four black males, one hispanic
male and five white females. Of the twenty on the list,
four have experience as a police officer. Chief Koehrsen
reported that he was extremely pleased with the quality and
quantity of candidates and felt that the minority
recruitment process yielded some very fine candidates. He
also indicated that over half of the names on the certified
list are from the Waterloo area. He reported that he was
somewhat disappointed there were no minorities from the
military ranks. The Chief also indicated that he would like
to increase the future strength of the Department that has
decreased significantly over the years.
It was moved by Fox, seconded by Wright that the request of
the Planning and Development Director and City Engineer to
upgrade an existing clerical position from Clerk I to Clerk
II from a Clerk II Civil Service promotional list be
approved. Motion carried.

from the current list which expires July, 1990, was
reviewed. The replacement of the three officers due to the
impending medical disabilities requested by Officers
Robert Bengfort, Craig Penrose and Brian Barker. The Chief
explained that manpower levels are at a critical low level
and that replacement of these officers before retirement
will allow them to train and get on the street as soon as
possible. Seven names remain on the second list of police
officers and with the impending expiration of the list, it
was suggested that the process to develop a new list be
initiated since the process could take approximately 90
days . It was moved by Wright, seconded by Fox that

officers and to initiate the Civil Service process for
development of a new police officer Civil Service list.
Motion carried.
