RE: Bids for sidewalk repair.
361
June 5 1969
l02 Bids were received on May 27, 1969, for the removal and replacement of
Sidewalk, curb and gutter... The..bids received are as follows:
1. Kiefer Concrete $ 66,920.00
2. Flatiron Materials 71,550.00
The estimated cost of the work included in the conteact proposal is
$59,300. The work covered by the contract consists of replacing defective
curb, gutter and sidewalk which property owners have not done under the sidewalk
repair program. Notices have previously been sent to each property owner for
any work, to be completed under this contract, in accordance with the ordinance.
The final contract cost may be more or less than the bid, due to the uncertainty
of quantities.
The low bid appears to be a fair bid for this type of repair work and
I recommend award of the contract to Kiefer Concrete.

The following communication was presented at length:
June 3, 1969
TO: City Council, Fort Collins, Colorado'
FROM: Personnel Board. City of Fort Collins, Colorado
SUBJECT: Appeal of Charles W. Hoffman from Disciplinary action resulting in
dismissal from the Police Department
The Personnel Board of the City of Fort Collins. held a hearing on
May 28. 1969, on the above referenced appeal. Ahe appellant was represented
by his attorney, Joseph Saint-Veltri,,'and the Chief of the Police Department
was represented by Attorney William H. Allen. All members of the Personnel
Board and the Assistant City Attorney were present at said hearing. At said
hearing the appellant was given full opportunity to present any matters which
he felt material to the issue at hand as was the Chief of the Police Department.
After hearing the evidence presented at said hearing and the arguments of
.counsel and after reviewin tape recordins of previous disciplinary hearings
pursuant to the consent of oth pag
rties, the Personnel Board has considered
this matter aild makes the following recommendations:
0
366
June 5 1969
It is the opinion of the Board that the action taken in dismissing
Officer Charles W. Hoffman was made in good faith and with readon; that the
dismissal was not as a result of his filing a gievance, but as a result of
several incidents of wilfully disobeying orders, conduct, unbecoming an
officer, and failute to maintain the kind of harmonious attitudes in working
rel2tions4ips:that must exist between an officer and his supperior officers.
The Board further feels that Officer Hcffman was guilty of insubordina-
tion in the blood alcohol incident at 700 South Shields andin using the "no
comment" answer to inquiries concerning a drag racing and padge incidents: of
conduct unbecoming an Officer in the drag racing incident and of failure to
maintain harmonious. attitudes and relationships with superiors by his statement
that he will not take orders from Sergeant Mason.
The Board does feel that the hearing pointed out some weaknesses and
inconsistencies in the manner in which this personnel problem was handled. The
Board is of the further opinion that in the case of Officer Hoffman Rule)V
of the Personnel Rules should have been followed to the letter. The evidence
presented still pointed out the above violations by Officer Hoffman which make
it both unethical and unreasonable to reinstate him to his former position.
While several of the charges were,minor in.nature, none of which as an isolate
case would be sufficient for dismissal, the accumQation o.f these incidents
over several months does poiut out that Officer Hoffman's attitude and conduct
did not improve after disciplinary actions were administered.
The Board therefore recomment's to the City Council that the action of
the Chief of the Police Department in this matter be sustdni.ed.
Respectfully submitted,
