Mr. Laursen and Ms. Dougall-Sides explained how the City Commission established a
list of qualified Hearing Officers. It was indicated City Attorney Pamela Akin interviewed a
number of candidates and recommended five to the City Commission. The Commission
accepted the list and forwarded it to the Civil Service Board. While Board members
expressed appreciation at receipt of the list, concern was expressed with the amount of
time taken to accomplish the task. Some felt staff could have pursued this matter more
vigorously.
Attorney Dougall~Sides stated the City Attorney and City Commission suggested
selecting the Hearing Officer for each case on a rotational basis. Director Laursen
concurred, stating he would contact the appropriate Hearing Officer as cases develop.
Discussion ensued regarding the selection process and the list of attorneys selected. The
Board reserved the right to vary the selection process if they feel a Hearing Officer does
not provide quality work.
Member Snair moved to accept the recommendation to select Hearing Officers on an
alphabetic rotational basis. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
Member Patterson was not present.
Mr. Laursen is to contact the first Hearing Officer for the City versus Holley appeal.
He said he would advise Mr. Holley of the appeal process immediately following today's
meeting.
Adjournment
With no further business before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m.
