Section 3(7). Duties of City Council); and (iii) Planning and Zoning Commission be
responsible for the approval of plats as authorized by the City Council in accordance with
state law and the Subdivision Ordinance (Article XIV, Section 2(3). Planning and Zoning
Commission Powers and Duties).
Director of Human Resources Patrick Hillis provided an overview of the Charter Review
Task Force ("Task Force") recommendations for Civil Service. He informed City Council
staff made additional changes since the approval of charter amendments by the Task
Force. Mr. Hillis reviewed the following changes:
Article XVII: City Civil Service, Section 2. Definitions. - Any full-time, employee who is a
sworn, peace officer in the Police department below the rank of Police Captain, or
equivalent rank, or a fire fighter in the Fire department below the rank of Fire Battalion
Chief or equivalent rank, or a sworn peace officer in the service of the City Marshal's
Office, who has completed the required one-year probationary period is entitled to Civil
Service coverage under this Article. Such employee is hereafter referred to as a "Civil
Service Employee".
The new language proposed by staff identifies employees within the Police and Fire
departments who are considered a civil service employee.
Article XVII: City Civil Service, Section 16. Indefinite Suspensions.
The new language proposed by staff provides that a suspended employee be restored to
his or her position when ordered by the Civil Service Commission. The employee shall be
reinstated within ten (10) days of the date of the Commissioner's order of reinstatement
and shall be entitled to full compensation for the actual time lost as a result of the
suspension at the rate of pay provided the position or class of service from which he or
she was suspended. The employee shall also be entitled to restoration of, or credit for,
any other benefits lost (i.e., sick leave, vacation, etc.) to which he or she would have
been entitled to as a result of the suspension.
The previous language for this section assigned the duty of reinstating a suspended
employee to the Department Head and ramifications (discharged by the City Manager) if
Department Head refused to obey the Civil Service Commissions order.
