Mr. Young reported having visited most of the City departments, accompanied by
Mr. Stewart; City Manager, and expressed his pleasure with the cooperative
.attitude of'department heads and employees. Mr. Thompson inquired whether it
would be possible for the Director to make periodic visits to the departments.
Mr. Young replied that in his opinion the Personnel Department could not be run
satisfactorily from behind a desk and felt it was necessary to familiarize
himself with the various needs of the departments during such visits. Board
members agreed that it"was deuirablo for the Personnel Director to conduct these
field tours.
Visitors were excused at this time and the Board proceeded into executive session
to review employees' fingerprint reports. At completion of session, Mr. Thompson
suggested that department heads be notified of any serious offenses in order that
ehe employee might be watched for indication of further offense.
There being no further business to come before the Board, meeting adjourned until
next meeting night, April 9, 1962.
