Mayor
waa read for
The llayor read a communication from Mr. John Kramer, Chairman of the
Career Service Co••i•••on,wbicb suggested that a Director of Public Safety
be established and the post left vacant so that the Police Chief and Fire
Chief would not be department beads in the normal sense of the word and
thereby included under the Career Service System. Discussion ensued.
(Council.an Graham entered and took his seat on the Council at 8:45 P.11.)
The llayor expressed bis position upon the overall question of tenure
of the police and fire chiefs in that the present personnel were not bein1
considered in the drafting of this bill. He expressed the opinion that tbe
two year leave of absence provision was adequate. He suggested that the
Council avoid the proposal set forth for a Director of Public Safety and
some of the other elaborate schemes set forth previously and recommended
the acceptance of the Career Service Bill as finally presented by the
Coaaiaa6on;l &nd reco ... nded its passage.
Councilaan llcLellan objected to the two year limitation and suggested
that extenaion of leave of absence be provided with the Commission's and
City Council's approval. Discussion ensued. The City Manager restated the
su11estion which be made as a suggested revision of tbe bill which would
provide for an employee being placed upon a re-employment list for bis
foraer classification upon bis dismissal from department bead status. Be
alao expressed concern over the proposal that the City Council should enter
into tbe individual cases of a particular department bead or person allowing
for an extenaion of bis leave as this particular area was definitely within
tbe scope of the City Manager; that entrance into this area by the City
Council would be contrary to the intention of the charter in this regard.

SBCTI Olf BE INSBRTBD INTO THE ORDINANCE AS SECTION 12; "Reina ta tement to
Claasified Service. Any eap~oyee who has accepted appointment fro• a
claaaltied position to an unclassified position in the City service and
baa been removed from said unclassified position shall be reinstated to a
position equal to his former classification."
Minutes of Noveaber 2, 1959
Mr. Kra11er pointed out that this particular method of solution of tbe
proble• would lead to that of establishing acting captains, lieutenants,
etc. wbereby uno one would have the security which is the purpose of the
systea. lie considered the proposal to be unconstitutional. Discussion
ensued. Council.an Brownewell cited the railroad union plan of buaping tbe
lower aen down which bad been in force and effect for a considerable length
of ti11e. Council.an Hill suggested that the particular problem be covered
through the drafting of the rules and regulations of the Career Service
co .. i•••on. llr. Kramer stated tbat as the ordinance is drafted, it is wide
enough to cover any situation. Council.an Grabaa disagreed witb tbe proposal
to keep a job open for the man who can be a departaent bead bptmaay return
to the ranks. He emphasized tbat a man with the ability to be a department
bead should take the advantage• of that position with the disadvantages.
Tbe ordinance provides for the opportunity ~or him to try the position for
a period not to exceed two years after which time be must return to the
rank& or continue as department bead. Tbe ordinance may at a future date
be a11ended to cover a ~-rticular situation which may arise at that time.
