Leonard Chesler, attorney, representing the Englewood Firefighters Association, appeared before Council in the matter of the proposed hearing officer for the Career Service Board. Mr. Chesler stated the firefighters' association opposed the hearing officer idea as proposed because they did not think one person could hear and weigh all evidence as properly as a board made up of several persona. He requested that the firefighters be a part of any further discussion concerning the hearing officer. Council Member Higday stated the proposed bill for an ordinance authorizing a hearing officer had been changed sub- stantially. Council would consider a re-drafted bill wherein the hearing officer would hear the cases, submit findings to the board thus giving the board final decision-making authority. A hearing officer would be trained to hear and receive proper evidence according to the case and could transmit these factors to the board. Mr. Chesler suggested the possibility of the claimant selecting one hearing officer from among a pool, the City select- ing one and the two selecting a third so that the hearing officer would be totally unbiased. Mr. Chesler asked that the matter not be acted upon retroactively on matters already pending. Mr. Chesler asked that the firefighters who were pre- sent be allowed to come forward and give their name and state if they agreed with the statements he made. Council granted Mr. Chesler's request and the following firefighters appeared in agreement with Mr. Chesler's statements. John Blanchard, 4614 West Ponds Circle, Littleton Ken Holland, President of the Firefighters Association Keith Lockwood, Secretary of the Firefighters Association Paul Jamieson, 5322 E. Caley Ave., Littleton Clarence Zimnerman, 5035 W. Hinsdale Circle, Littleton Harlan Bucholz, 4677 S. Lowell, Englewood Ken Gamet, 4163 S. Kalamath Court, Englewood L. D. McKay, 3013 W.

Valley Dr., Morrison There was no firefighter who spoke against Mr. Chesler'& statements. * * * * * * Malcolm Atkins, President of Employees Association, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the hear- ing officer. Mr. Atkins asked that any further information generated on the hearing officer be supplied to the association. Council Member Higday expressed his concerns on this matter and regreted that the firefighters had left the meeting. Mr. Higday stated Council was interested in the fair treatment of the City's employees as the City itself. Mr. Higday noted the firefighters were not in objection to the hearing officer concept itself and only asked that the person be fair. Council Member Bilo stated the hearing officer would only sit in on particular cases. City Manager Mccown stated it was at the Career Ser- vice Board's request to Council that they be allowed a hear- ing officer. It was the feeling of the Board that many hear- ings were too time-consuming and sometimes the hearings were so complicated that they as a lay board did not have the capa- ability of dealing with some of the issues put before them. They asked if Council would give them the authority to appoint a hearing officer if and when they felt such hearing officer was needed which would probably a small number of their cases. It was the feeling of the City Attorney at that time that the authority already existed but if Council wanted to make it ex- plicit they could enact an ordinance which would do just that. The hearing officer would make findings to the board and would present the evidence to them baaed upon the legal consideration. If they wanted reclarification or amplication, they could do that before they made their decision. There were no further visitors to speak to Council at this time. * * * * * * COUNCIL M!MIER FITZPATRICK MOVED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT BONDS ON PAVING May 5, 1980 Page 6 DISTRICT MO. 26.
