APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Executive Secretary Pezdek stated that there was a correction to the Minutes of

the above correction and that the Minutes of the special meeting on September

SENIOR CLERK - NEW POSITION DUTIES STATEMENT - CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE
The Commission requested City Chamberlain Parsons to address the Commission on the
above topic. Ms. Parsons gave background of the request saying that she was planning
to have all payments for any bills done only at two windows, and that two people
would be required to man these windows. At the present time the Account Clerk-
Typist only handles water and sewer bills with limited involvement in other
types of bill payment and record keeping. At the present time the Account
Clerk-Typist is learning other duties and that in the future she will be spending
one half a day doing the work that a senior clerk is now doing.
There was more discussion and more background information provided by Ms. Parsons.
Following this Commissioner Cooper moved that the New Position Duties Statement
for Senior Clerk be approved and that it be placed in the competitive class.
Seconded by Commissioner Bantuvanis. Motion carried unanimously.
NEW COPY MACHINE REQUEST
Executive Secretary Pezdek asked the Commission to support Superintendent Dougherty's
budget request for a new copy machine for the second floor. He explained that
Personnel, Civil Service, the Engineering Division and the Superintendent's Office
all use the present machine but that it was producing bad copies and had frequent
breakdowns.
Commissioner Bantuvanis asked Superintendent Dougherty if the Commission should
mention a dollar amount. Mr. Dougherty said that that would not be necessary
but a resolution of support would be.
Commissioner Bantuvanis moved that: The Civil Service Commission wholeheartily
supports the Superintendent of Public Works request for a new copy machine for
the use of the departments on the second floor of city hall . Seconded by Commissioner
Cooper. Motion carried uninamously.

Superintendent Dougherty requested that Mr. Ronald Denmark be removed from
the eligible list for Chief Sewage Treatment Plant Operator - which is really
the Chiew Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator Type I A Plant - since the
DPW Re-Classification survey completion.
He stated that Mr. Denmark did not have the required license to operate a I A
plant.
Mr. Pezdek agreeded stating that in order Mr. Denmark to get such a license
he would have to work for a year in a one a plant and that that was the only
way to get this type of license. Also that our present sewage plant is a II B
plant.
Mr. Dougherty stated that Mr. Denmark does not have the required experience.
Commissioner Bantuvanis moved that Mr. Ronald Denmark be removed from the
eligible list for Chief Sewage Treatment Plant Operator No. 66-572 due to the

ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ELIGIBLE LIST No.67-249 - PASSING OVER
A CANDIDATE
Commissioner Cooper asked Superintendent Doughterty to address the Commission
on why he wished it to consider passing over the number one candidate on the
eligible list for Assistant Superintendent of Public Works No. 67-249.
Superintendent Dougherty stated that he had received the Certification of
Eligibles from the Executive Secretary for Assistant Superintendent of
Public Works. In addition, he also received a copy of the letter the candidate
Mr. Dunn had written in which he says that if he were offered the position by
mid October that he would not be available until January of 1988 due to a
teaching commitmentat the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. The letter
from Mr. Dunn goes on to state that if offered the position after mid October
that he would not be able to come to work until mid May of 1988.
The Commission reviewed the letter from Mr. Dunn and Superintendent Dougherty's
Memorandum on his request.
The Superintendent said that he wished to fill the position now and that any
delay would be disastrous for the operation of his department.
The Commission then asked Mr. Dougherty some questions and discussed the
request.
Commissioner Cooper then moved that Mr. Terry A Dunn be removed from the
eligible list for Assistant Superintendent of Public Works, No. 67-249 until
such time as he indicates that he is available for appointment within a
reasonable time period. Seconded by Commissioner Bantuvanis., Motion carried
unanimously.
CANVASS LETTERS FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM LEADER. ELIGIBLE LIST No. 67-077
1 Executive Secretary Pezdek has written a memorandum to the Commission on the late
return of two canvass letters on the eligible list for Youth Development Program
Leader No. 67-077.
Basically one candidate out of three returned the canvass letter on time. One, No. 1,
did not and it was received on July 22, 1987, two days late, the third.candidate
No. 3, was on active duty with the Army reserve and did not come in with his canvass
letter until after he returned home from the training.
He explained that in the past that the Commission had accepted late canvass letters
from individuals who where on active duty and who through no fault of their own
could not return the canvass letters on time.
Commissioner Cooper asked if Mr. Pezdek had any idea of when a eligible list
would arrive back from Albany - actually the grades. He said that he never knew
when the grades would arrive until he picked up the mail at the post office and
opened the envelopes. Thus,there is no way of knowing ahead of time exactly when
the grades for the eligible list will arrive.
He asked that the Commission consider accepting both canvass letters.
The Commission reviewed his memorandum on the subject and the copies of the
canvass letters from candidates numbers 1 and three.
f Commissioner Cooper pointed out that candidate one did not give any explanation of
why he signed his canvass letter one day after it was due back. Candidate
number three who was in the army at the time explained where he was and why he could
not reply in a timely manner to the canvass letter.
Commissioner Bantuvanis then moved that the canvass letter of Mr. Myers the third
candidate on the eligible list for Youth Development Program Leader No. 67-077
be accepted. Seconded by Commissioner Cooper. Motion passed unanimously.
PERSONNEL ASSOCIATE NEW POSITION DUTIES STATEMENT AND POSITION SPECIFICATION
Commissioner Cooper began by stating that she had reservations on what has been going
on and about not being notified by Common Council of what they did. She further
that she was clear in what I presented to Common Council : "It is in the Rules and
law how we operate. Our Field Representative says that Common Council action is
illegal . I really feel torn. My understanding is if Common Council wants us to do
this it is illegal . We appoint our own. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis stated: "Something is wrong."
Mr. Baker said that "You have to listen to Ted Doyle to Tom Pillsworth. One of the
things here is basically it is a new position. We contract out labor relations
at tremendous costs. It costs $20,000.00 per year. The position involves costing
out labor relations contracts. I will do the negotiations and this position will
train, counsel on discipline. Civil Service is alive and well here. . It will provide
1
me with support. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis asked: " Will this position be Secretary to the Commission. "
Mr. Baker replied: "You have to delegate it to someone."
192
Commissioner Bantuvanis: "This person would handle civil service matters.
She then read from the position specification: 'Specific responsibilities
include applying Civil Service Law for all positions under the jurisdiction r - ,
of the Civil Service Commission. '"
Mr. Baker replied: "Is that under Distinguishing Features of the Class?
I make sure Department Heads do things according to Civil Service. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis: "Civil Service matters have to come through the Commission ."
Mr. Baker: No one is saying Civil Service is by the wayside."
Commissioner Cooper: "I have heard that as of January 1, 1988 Common Council
is taking away the Executive Secretary and that the Personnel Associate is
taking over the duties. I would not like to act on anything until the issue
is cleared up. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis asked: "Can Common Council delete the Executive Secretary?"
Commissioner Cooper replied: "No, they can't. " She then stated that she wanted
a meeting with the Field Representative to get this cleared up.
Commissioner Bantuvanis asked: "Should we table this. You want to do it?"
Commissioner Cooper: "I could go for a Personnel Associate. You could interview
but not for civil service duties. "
Mr. Baker: "Obviously I need help. " ='
Commissioner Bantuvanis then said: "Let me ask you a question. 1i'our position
as Personnel Administrator is not Civil Service is it? By that I mean,
competitive.
Mr. Baker replied: "It is in the non-competitive class; the Personnel Associate
is in the competitive class."
Mr. Baker continued: You have responsibility to classify the position. I need
to move forward. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis then asked: What would be the starting salary?
Mr. Baker: "Twenty to twenty-two thousand a year. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis then asked: "How can you recruit without it being established?"
Mr. Baker replied:"Other departments recruited without it being classified. "
Commissioner Cooper said: Twenty-five per cent of the personnel associates time is
involved in civil service matters according to the New Position Duties Statement.
Is the person to assume the Executive Secretary functions and duties for the Commission?"
Mr. Baker: "I don't know what will happen after January first. I spend time telling
other Civil Service Rules."
Commissioner Cooper then read from the Typical Work Activities section of the L-
position specification" Oversees the civil service examination process for all
positions under the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission."
• 193
She continued: "Shouldn 't this be to possibly assume these particular duties if
there is not an Executive Secretary to the Commission?"
Mr. Baker: "I need to have this classified."
Commissioner Bantuvanis: "We could pass it and it would not be legal . "
Commissioner Cooper: "We could pass everything dealing with labor but not Civil
Service. "
Mr. Baker: "Common Council is saying that the Commission will stay in tact. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis: . "In all fairness, we don't have a right to pass on it.
I haven't been notified, "
Commissioner Cooper: "Take all civil service matters out."
Commissioner Bantuvanis : "I would be willing to pass it with everything deleted
dealing with civil service."
Mr. Baker: "I would rather see it deleted and I need to move ahead. We can go
back to the drawing board. I have to go to Common Council on Thursday to
get authorization to hire. "
Commissioner Cooper: "The civil service matters can't be in it. The specification
must be specific. Delete anything to do with civil service. Must comply with
civil service law. "
Commissioner Bantuvanis asked the Executive Secretary to contact the Field
Representative and the City Attorney to arrange a meeting. "
Commissioner Cooper agreeded.
Mr. Baker: "I can delete civil service and would you classify?"
Commissioner Bantuvanis : "Can,you get this to us by tommrrow or by Monday?"
Commissioner Cooper: "By Monday at the latest."
Mr. Baker replied: "OK."
Commissioner Cooper: "Lets meet on Monday at 3:45 P.M. You will be there?"
Mr. Baker: "Yes."

Mr. Baker asked to address the Commission on this matter: He said that a major

Mr. Doyle: "I have major reservations about Common Council 's reogranization.
The City has three things to do. The options are: first, to leave the Commission
as it it now an independent body. Second, the City need not maintain civil
service commission at all . The law permits a personnel officer operation which
has all the duties and obligations of a Civil Service Commission.
