"Civil Service Positions."
Public Hearing was opened.
Coming forward were..:
Roger Creighton, 1101 2nd Street, who, at .various times

FURTHER ACTION - To receive and file the report.
Motion Wood, second Webber

Noes: Wood
PROPOSED ACTION To direct the City Manager and the City
Attorney to prepare'a list of all employees who have been
legitimately hired by the City throughan open, competitive
examination initially and promoted by competitive
examinations.
Motion Wood, second Brutsch
The City Manager expressed grave concern on the spirit and
intent of the motion, dealing as it does with a possible
issue of privacy and creating a non -constructive, divisive
list of .employees, requesting.a comment of the City
Attorney.
I.
--PROPOSED AMENDMENT- That the list be prepared and submitted
to the City Council in Closed Session.
Motion Wood, second Brutsch did not concur. Amendment not
accepted.
In the opinion of the City Attorney regarding the possible
violation of privacy, although the proposed action above
may not technically be a violation of privacy, the principal
function of the civil service system is toinsulate the
employees from the political 'process. Given the highly '
politicized nature of this issue, City Attorney Post felt
that lists of affected employees would tend to havethe
effect of defeating the civil service purpose.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT - That the list of all current City
employees be prepared, indicating the date of their open
and competitive examination, and the date of all subsequent
competitive examinations.
Motion Wood, second Brutsch did not. concur. Amendment not
accepted.
VOTE ON PROPOSED ACTION ABOVE;
Ayes: Wood
