OCEAN BLVD., 7TH FLOOR MINUTES CIVIL SERVICE BOARDROOM, 8:00 AM 10. 18-184CS COMMUNICATION REGARDING DISQUALIFICATION OF APPLICATION - Street Maintenance Supervisor Communication from Lance Whitacre, Tree Trimmer II, Public Works Ms. Slaten briefed the Commission on this request, advising that Mr. Whitacre did not meet the minimum qualifications to apply for the Street Maintenance Supervisor position (Job Number: J61AN-18). Wendell Phillips, General Counsel for the Association of Long Beach Employees (ALBE), addressed the Commission and introduced Mr. Lance Whitacre, who currently holds the position classification of Tree Trimmer II with the Department of Public Works. Mr. Phillips advised that he and Mr. Whitacre do not object to the Civil Service Department’s decision to deny Mr. Whitacre’s attempt to be placed on the current Street Maintenance Supervisor list. However, Mr. Phillips described an issue that could arise in the future, requiring him to return before the Commission to object if Mr. Whitacre is denied the opportunity to be considered for promotion into the Street Maintenance Supervisor position. Mr. Phillips explained that the current Street Maintenance Supervisor (Street Operations Division, Public Service Bureau, Department of Public Works), previously held the position of Street Landscape Supervisor. If he retires, there is concern that the Department of Public Works may fill the vacancy with an employee on the current Street Maintenance Supervisor list, and then revert the position back to a Street Landscape Supervisor. If this occurs, it will prevent Mr. Whitacre from applying for the vacancy because he is not on the current Street Maintenance Supervisor list, but he would qualify to apply under the Street Landscape Supervisor requirements. Mr. Phillips wished to make a formal record documenting this explanation, and request that the Commission take an oversight role in directing staff to communicate with the Department of Public Works. If it is the intention of the Public Works Department to establish a new Street Landscape Supervisor position, that the Civil Service Department create a list for the position for which Mr. Whitacre qualifies, and can apply for in order to be considered for promotion.

The appeal hearing process has experienced changes over time, and the Subcommittee wants to ensure that current practices align with written policy. If changes to current practice are needed, or if Policy 1.61 requires updating since its last revision in April 2003, particularly with regard to the guidelines for the length of appeal hearings, any recommended changes should reflect the needs of the employee, the Commission and Civil Service staff. The financial impact on the Department’s annual budget must also be taken into consideration if there is an increase in the use of Hearing Officers to preside over appeals. After identifying Policy 1.61, Section 2, Subsection A) 1. e), a discussion followed between Commissioner Kerr, Principal Deputy City Attorney and Page 11 of 17 CITY OF LONG BEACH WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION 333 W.

The Hearing Subcommittee did not have any recommendations to change Policy 1.61 at this time, but asked that the Executive Director & Secretary identify and refer appeals that may qualify to be decided by an Administrative Law Judge.
