TO: Mr. Thomas Coffey, City Manager
FROM: C. W. Hotchkiss
RE: Personnel Board Recommendations
DATE: November 16, 1965
The Personnel Board of the City of Fort Collins met on November 16, 1965, and aft
due deliberation wished to make the following recommendations;
(1) In general, the Board endorses the Personnel Rules Classification Plan and
Compensation Plan as consistent with good personnel practices for both indus
trial and public administration.
(2) The Board requests that the Personnel Rules be amended by the City Council
to clarify the position of the City Attorney in a case where an employee
requests a hearing before the Board and is himself represented by counsel.
The Board recommends that under these circumstances t he City Council appoint
private counsel for the Board.
(3) The Personnel Board recommends that the City Manager proceed immediately to
study the feasibility of providing a retirement program for those city empl
ees not already covered. An investigation into the possibility of covering
City employees under the Public Employees' Retirement System of Colorado or
similar program might be in order.
(4) The Board recommends that the City Manager give serious consideration to the
possibility of paying time and one half for overtime work and for time spent
on emergency calls.
The members of the Personnel Board realize that some of these recommendations are
not directly related to the Personnel Rules. However, the Board feels that it is within
its responsibility to make the recommendations related to wages and other fringe benefits
under the authority granted to the Board to inquire into the city's personnel administratio
and advise the City Manager on matters of personnel policy.

TO: The Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Coffey, City Manager
SUBJECT: Personnel Board Recommendation, Dated November 16, 1965
Attached hereto are the recommendations of the Personnel Board, a copy of the
minutes of their meeting November 18, 1965, and a copy of a memo from John Baudek to me.
It would be my recommendation, in connection with Item 2 (Personnel Rule 15,
Section 5, City Attorney), that the Personnel Rules be amended by the City Council to clari
the position of the City Attorney in a case where an employee requests a hearing before the
Board and is himself reporsented by counsel that the City Council appoint special counsel
to represent the Department Head and that the City Attorney or his assistant shall repre-
spnt the Personnel Board.
It is my opinion that this would do a better job of eliminating a conflict of
interest by the City Attorney between the Personnel Board and the Department Head.
