Sir: I have checked our file on the Green Onion., and find that in Fpril of 1970, i wrote a letter to you regarding an alarm system for that establishment. I signed taei_- renewal at that time with the understanding that an alarm system would be installed as soon as possible; however, as of this date the alarm system still has not been installed.

Buck of my juvenile Division, and he advised that they have found several juveniles with the Green Onion stamp on their hand, but have been unable to prove that the juvenile himself was in fact in the place of business. Other than the direct alarm system. I know of no reason way this license should not be renewed. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Ralph M.

He stated there was only one other place that has such a system and that is T.J's., that the Green Onion is quite dilligent about juvenilo and stamp all hands. \layer Carson stated it was agreed at the time of the hearing that an alarm system would be installed. Mr. Pell stated that six policemen testified there was no problem, that he had agroed to put an alarm system in if there were problems, but there had been none.

Amendment to Personnel Rules Pursuant to Rule M, .section 4, "General ?revisions of, the Personnel Rules which in part reads, "amendment tothese rules shall in o==cdz on approval by the City ?tanager together with approval of .::e City cc_.. 1 am submitting the following amendment for your consideration. .. Rule V_i!, Section 2, Certification or Eligibles --That the third sentence or the first paragraph be amended to read: "if more than One position'is..to be filled in the same department, the City Manager shall submit three times as many eligibles as there are Vacancies, if there are that number of eligibles on the appropriate list..Wher'dise he shall certifythe entire list. This request is predicated on past practice as precedence, with the rule of three interpretation being used since the adoption of. the rules .__.. in 1965. appointment every ap70i.'ent and promotion since February 0= 19G9 has been ;lade from a list or eligibles containing three names for each vacancy. This fact can be substantially documented. To rule that such an interpretation4is invalid would indeed Create an impossible situation to resolve. Secondly, as you are.aware, the recent promotions in the Police ne- Oartment are being challenged as to the validity of such interpretation, . _ :: the final selection being made from a list of six eligibles, such list being established only after extensive examination. 0 is a2pirenz that, revision is necessary in order to avoid simi- lar situations. Therefore, to assure that future appointments and/or promotions be made in the best interest ofthe City of Fort Collins, l amrequesting this amendment be approved. _ 10-2 April 22, 1971 /s/ Tom Coffey City Manager The Assistant City Attorney stated the responsibility of eligibles for a position is with the City Manager and not the Council and the Council is not to interfere with the Personnel Board, that the only item before the Council is to revise the Personell rules. CO�Mi1N IC:ITIOV TO: FROM SUBJECT: Mayor Kati ... Carson Chairman, City Council A. 0. ...._a_ Cha__-an., City Pcrso nn el Board Proposed Changa to City Personnel Rules T.is Board has been invited by the City Manager to consider and comment on his proposal to a -end City Personnel Rule V_L', Set Zion 2, "Certification of Eligibles". The rule now states that, "'Upon. receipt OL Z pZrSOnne'_ reGui Si t-ion, ae City Y.anagcr shall ecr._ry writing __ting the .. -es of _::e ._ee nighest ranking eligibles or. theappropriate 1-st as being qualified and cc -patent to perform the work of the vacant position." I further states, "If more that: one position is to 'Do filled in t::c same department the City Manager shall submit twice as many eligibles as there are vacancies, if there are that number of eligibles on the appropriate list." II amended, the rule would state, "If more than one position '_s ' to be filled in the same department, the City Manager shall submit _ha names of at least three eligibles for each vacant position, if there are that number of eligibles on the appropriate list. It is the opinion of the Personnel Board that this amendment should not be approved at this time for the following reasons: a..he present rule is under appeal by three members of the Police Department. Any change in the present rule, prior to resolution of these appeals would adversely affect the credibility of the appeals system provided in the Personnel Rules. b. The present rule already provides more flexibility than eiz:er the State or Federal Civil Service systems for hiring from an eligibility list. c. r fires commitment to an eligibility list that is based upon a merit ezar.:ination system is essential to the city personnel system. Any deviation from a stated rule pertaining to either a placement or promotion will, in our opinion, lower morale and create distrust of the city management. If approved the amendment could negate the present "rule of three" concept and provide an open-ended eligibility list that would not be consistent with a merit promotion system. e. Any change to a rule that is under appeal could be construed by all city employees as a ruse on the part of the city ..management to circumvent the Personnel Rules. i,7e recommend that the proposal be tabled for the present and be considered at a more appropriate time. /s/ A. 0.

I had h ed that my work load would ease up this spring and that I could become active in the Commission's work again. Instead it has gone the other way and it looks like its is going to be heavy for many months in the future. In the interest of the important work done by the Commission and the significant plans for work this year, it is best that I step aside and let someone who can devote the necessary time to the assignments, take my place. It has been a fascinating association with the members of the Commission who want to preserve some of Fort Collins' heritage for the good that it will do in the development of future citizens as well as the enjoyment that comes to all in this cultural endeavor. Perhaps my time can be made more available sometime in the future at which time I would like to serve again. 159 i s/ James iv. uuyer Mayor Carson stated Mr. Guyer had been very helpful on this commission.
