Proceedings of the Civil Service Board meeting held Tuesday, September 5, 1961.
The Clearwater Civil Service Board met in regular session, Tuesday evening,
September 5. 1961. at 7:30 p.m., ill the Civil Service office.
Members prescnt: George Dalby. Chairman; Nary Fay Bissell, and Harold Wallace.
Absent: George Butcher and R. B. Mauney, out of town.
Meeting called to order by Chairman Dalby.
Read minutes of meeting held August 1, 1961. Mrs. Bissell, seconded by Mr. Wallace,
moved that minutes be accepted as read.
Director read letter from 1. M. Tubbs, Gas Distribution Serviceman I, protesting
change of duties and hours. Mr. Tubbs was present and explained his reasons for
appealing. Mr. Bob Daniels, Gas Distribution Superintendent, Mr. Tubbls immediate
supervisor,'present and stated that he felt if Mr. Tubbs could continue doing the
new duties to which he has been assigned he would get along all right. Mr. Daniels
felt that Mr. Tubbs should not be expected to do heavy labor as he had in the past.
Mr. Taylor, Utilities Manager, stated, too, that this employee was not physically
able to perform strenuous duties. Board members agreed it would be a hardship for
Mr. Tubbs to work nights and were of the opinion that after the years of service
with the city he should continue with the new duties. Mr. Wallace, seconded by
Mrs. Bissell, moved that Mr. Tubbs be retained in the same job he is at present
doing. Motion carried. Mr. Stewart, City Manager,and Mr. J. D. Nelson, Gas
Superintendent, to be notified the decision of the Board.
Attorney Harold Wilson present to report on progress nade in the matter of a
proposed suit against the City. Mr. Wilson reported that following the joint
meeting of the City Commission and Board members August 4, he met with City Attorney
Herbert Brown and discussed ways in which they might provide for solution of
problems. The attorneys agteed that there are certain issues between the Civil
Service Board and the City Commission which are insolvable except by the determi-
nation of some third party. Stated there are two ways to continue:
(1) By filing suit in the Circuit Court as proposed previously.
(2) By asking for an opinion from the State Attorney General.
Mr. Wilson stated that such an opinion would not have the dignity of a court
decision but both groups could rely upon an opinion from the Attorney General, and
it would not have the adversary effect that would follow a court decision. Both
groups would be bound by the opinion of the Attorney General. Mr. Wilson felt
that the value of the Attorney General's opinion would depend largely upon the
preparation of the questions asked and a great deal of thought should be given them,
and presented jointly to the Attorney General. Mr. Wilson felt that the Civil
Service Board should make a concession and request this opinion, inasmuch as the'
City Commission felt just as much good would come of the matter if this procedure
were followed.
Mr. Wallace, seconded by Mrs. Bissell, moved that Attorney Harold Wilson and City
Attorney Herbert Browll be instructed to proceed and prepare a draft of questions
for presentation to the Attorney General. This draft to be presented to the
Civ~l Service Board at its next meeting, September 19. Motion carried.
