Dave Keyser moved that the minutes of the meeting of October 17. 1989, be approved. The
motion was duly seconded by Syd Snair and carried unanimously.
Selectip" of New Member
As a result of a request made for individuals interested in serving on the Civil Service Board to
submit resum~s to the Board, the City received two responses. One was from Dr. Anhur Deegan
and 'the other was from Mr. Thomas Noble.
Bill Carroza advised. the other Board members that he was acquainted with both individuals
both on a personal and business level. He felt it would be a conflict of interest if he
participated in the selection process and, therefore. asked to be excluded from the discussion.
The other Board members had no problem with Mr. Carroza excusing himself.
Discussion of the candidates ensued. Mr. Snair cl'tpressed his opinion that Mr. Noble would be
the best candidate. and he felt Dr. Deegan's expenise on various subjects would make him a
viable candidate for membership on many other City boards.

Mr. Laursen advised the Board on the status of the DeSantis case. A new lawsuit has been filed
by Sgl~ DeSantis against the City. One of the' main issues is the amount of time that elapsed
between the decision' by the Second Coun of Appeals and the appointment of Dave Healey to
. replace Dr. Carwise. Ninety-seven days elapsed during this period due mainly to the fact that it
was difficult to find individuals willing to serve who lived in the City and were not involved
