President EPBA Michael Gruninger, President EFFA 9 Chairperson Harry Fleenor opened the meeting. A roll call was taken and a quorum was established. Commissioner Fitzpatrick moved to approve the minutes of July 17, 1986. Commissioner Pokraka seconded. The vote was unanimous. Next item on the agenda was Association's Choice. Peter Juenemann, EEA/AFSCME President was not present. John Knoth, Vice President EPBA was present but had nothing for the Board. Michael Gruninger, EFFA President was present with questions on the disciplinary appeal forms. The discussion was based on who can use the form. The assumption is that non-bargaining employees should use these forms, but do they have the right? This will be addressed at the Public Hearing to be held in January, 1987, for purpose of discussing the new form. At this time, it was suggested the Board deviate from the agenda to present an appreciation plaque to Betty Keena, former Commissioner, for her service to the City of Englewood and the Career Service Board. Michael Gruninger asked the Board for a clarification on Article 23 and 24 of the Contract. His question was whether the subjects were grievable and could a grievance be filed under Paragraph A. It was pointed out, that a grievance would have to be filed before the Board could address this issue. Searl Brier, Personnel Analyst, was present under City Manager's Choice. He gave his support to the new appeal forms, and agreed that the forms should be used through the end of the year and then, as the Board has planned, open it up for discussion at the Public Hearing in January. Item five on the agenda was Old Business. Under general discussion were the new appeal forms. John Knoth indicated that he did have a question on what constitute an "individual" or "general" grievance. He was told that the decision of the Board will be based on evidence that is presented and the Charter. • • • Michael Gruninger asked for clarification of Municipal Code 3-lM-7, Administrative Disciplinary Action #3. This section was written by the City and Mr. Gruninger was referred to them for interpretation. Under New Business the budget was reviewed and Commissioner Fitzpatrick moved to accept it as presented. Commissioner Kerzic seconded and the vote was unanimous. Notes for the record: The August 14, 1986 letter written to Council regarding the budget figures for 1987 was read. Commissioner Turner volunteered to make a "reception box" and send it along with an appreciation plaque to Don Weber. Commissioner Fitzpatrick moved and Commissioner Pokraka seconded to accept the job description for the Recording Secretary of the Board. Commissioner Fitzpatrick reported that he has completed his check on a recorder and concludes that it would be cost prohibitive at this time to change the entire system, and that would be necessary to get the quality the Board is looking for. It was his suggestion that the one the Board now has be used until the city changes its system. Board Members expressed a comfort with his suggestion. The next order of new business was review of the bills. Caplan and Earnest presented a bill in the amount of $3,465.46. Commissioner Turner moved and Commissioner Kerzic seconded that the bill be paid and a letter be send requesting an hourly breakdown on all future bills. The vote was unanimous. Item six of the agenda was unscheduled visitors. There were none. At this time Commissioner Fitzpatrick moved for a recess so all Board members could enjoy the "goodies" from the Fitzpatrick's in honor of Betty Keena. The Board readjourned, roll call was taken and all members were present. A bill was presented from Forum Engraving for $80, for plaque engraving. Commissioner Fitzpatrick moved and Commissioner Kerzic seconded to pay the bill. The Board adjourned into Executive Session to conduct an appraisal of the Recording Secretary .
