The City Manager presented the following recommendations of the Personnel Board and also his recommendations regarding same: 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. Respectfully submitted, Isl C. W. Hotchkiss January 6, 1966 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. Respectfully submitted, Isl Tom Coffey City Manager Motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilman McMillan, that the recommendations be accepted for study. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Coun- cilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Kruchten. Nayes: None.
