TRANSFER OF RECRUITMENT AND TESTING FUNCTIONS FROM
CIVIL SERVICE TO PERSONNEL (27)
In a memorandum dated March 21, 1991, Barbara Dillon,
Director of Personnel, requested authorization to transfer the
recruitment and testing functions performed by Civil Service to
the Personnel Department. Ms. Dillon stated that the anticipated
Personnel cost savings would total $86,055, based on the
following actions: delete a Personnel Clerk II: underfill the
remaining Personnel Clerk II at a I level: have the existing
Personnel Assistant work with the Chief Examiner vs. hiring a new
Secretary; and leave a Personnel Analyst position vacant for six
months.
Personnel Director Dillon stated that to accomplish this
task the following steps would have to be taken: Continue with
an independent Civil Service Board, and staff it with the Chief
Examiner and a Personnel Assistant: transfer two Personnel Clerk
14
4/1/91
I's and one vacant Personnel Analyst from Civil Service to
Personnel: and have Personnel assume responsibility for combined
counter functions, including job information, applications,
benefits, in-processing, employee separations, and job
descriptions.
Barbara Dillon, Director of Personnel, answered questions
regarding the differences in recruitment functions performed by
the Personnel Department and Civil Service. Ms. Dillon
explained that Civil Service does recruitment for all classified
positions within the City , and the Personnel Department does
recruitment for all unclassified and management positions.
City Administrator Edwins provided examples of the instances
where overlapping occurs in recruitment functions between the
Personnel and Civil Service Departments.
City Attorney Penman answered questions regarding Civil
Service duties as outlined in the San Bernardino City Charter.
He provided historical information as to how Civil Service became
involved in the recruiting and testing functions of potential
City employees.
A discussion ensued regarding the effects on Civil Service
if all staff, except the Chief Examiner and Personnel Assistant
positions, were transferred to Personnel.
Personnel Director Dillon answered questions, stating that
no salary adjustments would be made to the salaries of the Chief
Examiner nor the Personnel Assistant.
Ms. Dillon explained the cost savings anticipated if the
proposed transfer were approved.
Carl Waelder, Civil Service Board Member, spoke in
opposition to the proposed transfer of Civil Service staff to the
Personnel Department. He referred to a memorandum dated February
1, 1989, from former Senior City Attorney John Wilson regarding
incompatibility of merging the Personnel Director and Chief
Examiner positions. He stated that there would also be
incompatibility in instances where the Civil Service Board would
have to make a judgement call against Personnel during
disciplinary hearings. Mr. Waelder felt that there should. be
independent staff to handle the functions outlined in the City'S
Charter regarding Civil Service. He further stated that a staff
of only a Chief Examiner and a Personnel Assistant is not
adequate to perform the duties outlined in the Charter.
Mayor Holcomb assured Civil Service Board Member Waelder
that if additional staff were needed, that issue could be
addressed at a later time. Mayor Holcomb stated that the
proposed transfer of staff from the Civil Service Department to
15
4/1/91
Personnel would promote efficiency in staff and provide cost
savings to the City.
City Attorney Penman stated that the merger of the Chief
Examiner position with that of the Director of Personnel was in
violation of the City's Charter. He recommended that because the
Charter outlines the duties and powers of the Chief Examiner, the
Civil Service Department be responsible only for those duties
listed in the City's Charter.
Mr. Penman read from Opinion No. 91-8, dated March 20,
1991, which lists the duties and powers of Civil Service in the
City's Charter.
A discussion ensued regarding the last time Civil Service
rules and regulations were updated and reviewed.
The Council expressed concerns regarding staff reduction in
the Civil Service Department.
Mr. Waelder stated that the Civil Service Commission is
greatly concerned over the proposed transfer of Civil Service
staff to Personnel, as the remaining staff will not be sufficient
to adequately perform the duties mandated by the City Charter.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, that the item regarding authorization to
transfer recruitment and testing functions and attendant
personnel from Civil Service to Personnel be continued to April
15, 1991, in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D"
Street, San Bernardino, California, to allow Civil Service time
to consider staffing needs if recruitment and testing functions
are transferred to the Personnel Department.

STRUCTURE - VANIR COMPANY 325 PARKING SPACES (28)

Director of Facilities Management, requested authorization to
consolidate Vanir Company's 325 parking spaces presently located
on the basement, 2nd and 4th levels of the 5-level parking
structure. He stated that it is difficult to control the
maintenance, signing, and use of these spaces and provide
responsible security. If all the parking spaces were relocated
on the fourth level, the City would be able to provide better
utilization and control of the parking structure.
16
4/1/91

to consolidate the 325 parking spaces for the Vanir Company.

$774,520.85.

foot mini market to include the off-site sale of beer and wine in
an existing retail center located at 1689 Kendall Drive, Suite A.

previous applicant'S history of two negative encounters with law
enforcement, including convictions for sales to minors, and also
based on reports that the area is already over-saturated w.ith
mini-markets. Due to negative public testimony given at the
hearing, including a letter of protest from California State

Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Dave Mlynarski, 25864 Business Center Drive, Suite "F",
Redlands, Ca., stated that he was under the impression that the
proposed resolution establishing and modifying fees for Planning
Division services would not be discussed until after the adoption
of the Development Code standards. He stated that he had no
problems with the direct recovery of costs or the time spent by
staff to review applications and handling of cases, but he
expressed concerns regarding development application fees. He
further requested a copy of the proposed resolution listing the
modified fees.
24
4/1/91
City Administrator Edwins stated that the methods used to
modify the current fees are inconsistent and that a formula
should be used to determine fee increases across the board. She
recommended that the Finance Department be authorized to develop
some type of mechanism to provide a consistent basis for applying
fee increases. She further stated that a more efficient method
of raising existing fees would be to use percentages until a cost
recovery system can be worked out.
City Attorney Penman stated that the proposed resolution is
legally adequate as to legal form and content. However, he
pointed out that the backup material was insufficient and did not
provide the necessary information, as required by law, showing
that the current fees are not adequate to cover actual costs.
City Administrator Edwins answered questions regarding the
time frame for developing a consistent plan for applying fee
increases.
Director Reed suggested that staff could come back with the
necessary information, as required by law, at the time of the
adoption of the Development Code, thereby allowing staff time to
consider a better way of doing cost recovery.
City Administrator Edwins felt that an audit of some sort
should be performed by a professional or the Finance Department
be allowed to look at what constitutes direct cost recovery. She
stated there should be a consistent number that can be applied
across the board.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that the public
hearing be continued to Monday, April 15, 1991, in the Council
Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San Bernardino,
California: and that the matter of establishing and modifying
fees for Planning services be referred to the Director of Finance
in order that an appropriate cost accounting system may be
created.
