"Please take note that pursuant to Section 20 of the Civil
Service Law of the State of New York, the City of Ithaca
Civil Service Commission will hold a Public Hearing on
February 14, 1984, at 7:30 P. M. , in the Conference Room,

New York, to amend its Rules as follows: To include
in Rule XIV, Probationary Term in Section 1 (a) the sentence:
The probationary term for the City Engineer will be one
year. All interested parties and citizens for or against
the adoption of the proposed change are invited to attend
and be heard."
RESOLUTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING: Commissioner Slaght
Resolved that the public hearing be open. Seconded by Chairperson Wilcox. Motion
carried.
Chairperson Wilcox invited Ms. Barbara J. Lund to address the Commission.

190
Ms. Lund then proceeded to give background information to the Commission on
her accepting the position of City Engineer. She stated that she had
left a $43,000.00 job in Northern California to accept the position, she had
received a negative reaction on a higher salary than she was earning in
the negotiations with Mr. Kenneth Walker of the Board of Public Works and
with Mr. Kinsella the Superintendent of Public Works due to the salary
structure here. It would be impossible to pay her more that the Assistant
to the Superintendent of Public Works, Mr. Dougherty was earning.
Ms. Lund then stated: " I found out that I had no protection in December
in my appointment as City Engineer because I was provisional . "
Ms. Lund then stated: "In private industry you receive a performance review.
I received no performance review from the Superintendent. Furthermore, I
• received on filing and secretarial services as of June of 1983. "
Ms. Lund then described the scope of responsibilities of her former position
position to the Commission.
Ms. Lund then Stated that: "In September, I requested an executive session with
Don Kinsella and the Board of Public Works, to review my position and work.
Don Kinsella cancelled the executive session. I was busy with Floral Avenue
- and the West Clinton Street construction jobs and I let the matter drop. I
routinely updated Don Kinsella on my division. Don Kinsella repeatedly told
the Board of Public Works that thid did not happen. I was repeatedly denied
tools in the secretarial area. As a result, I had to work ten, eleven,
twelve hours a day repeatedly doing secretarial duties. "
Ms. Lund then said she had received a report of her breaking into the Civil
Service Office. She said " Bob Pezdek discussed it with Jack Clynes and others. "
She further stated that she was " required to be ethical as a person and as
a professional engineer. Professional engineers have a code of ethics and
I must follow them. When I have problems I am bound to rectify them. Problems
such as people working under forty hours and over forty hours without being paid."
Chairperson Wilcox asked Ms. Lund: "How does this relate to the public hearing?"
Ms. Lund replied: " These is no way that the City Engineer can please the Board
of Public Works with the problems in the areas of my former responsibility. I
recommend that the probationary period be one year. The Civil Service Commission
should recommend that the City Engineer serving at the pleasure of the Board
of Public Works be deleted from the Charter. Further more Civil Service
should sit in on the negotiations with a new City Engineer. "
Chairperson Wilcox asked Ms. Lund: " Do you have knowledge of how civil service
works in that area?"
Ms. Lund replied: "Yes. " She then proceeded to give background information on
her position in San Diego. In that position, she stated that she received review
during the entire probationary period, and that while here she received no
review of her performance.
Chairperson Wilcox Ms. Lund: "Anything further?" Ms. Lund replied: "No. " f
Chairperson Wilcox asked Commissioner Slaght if she had any questions.
Commissioner Slaght replied: "No, I don't think so. "
Chairperson Wilcox thanked Ms. Lund for her comments.
There were no other persons present to address the Commission either for
or against the extension of the probationary period.
