F;~.) 2'1 Y1~A1r Council Notes: r=?/) - CI.{f OF SAN BERNARDI&' - REQU& FOR COUNCIL AC~ON STAFF REPORT The Civil Service Board requires, through their Rules & Regulations as approved by Mayor & Common Council, certain Medical examiDations to ensure the applicant's/employee'5 ability to perform the physical demands of the job. This particular requirement has been contracted to the East Valley Medical CliDic and Dr. Fowler for over 8 years, as the City does Dot possess the iD-house capability. Dr. Fowler's services have been very satisfactory, however, Dr~ Fowler has choseD to re-locate to Oregon and close his clinic here. When the PersoDDel Office was notified of his decisioD in May 1985, we issued a "Request for Proposals" to local cliDics and physicians. A temporary iDterim contract, essentially the same as we had with Dr. Fowler, was approved by the Con~on CouDcil iD JUDe of 1985 with Dr. Arnold Stein. Dr. Stein was recommeDded by the City's Risk Management Division as an interim provider. The proposals were received aDd reviewed by a committee consisting of Deputy City Administrator Ray Schweitzer, Fire Chief Gerald Newcombe, ActiDg AssistaDt Police Chief Paul Bonano, Director of EmergeDcy Services/Risk MaDagement RODald Solheim, Personnel Director M.J. Perlick, AssistaDt Personnel Director Roger DeFratis (Committee ChairmaD), Director of Public Services Manuel MoreDo and City Nurse JaD Lewis. After careful cODsideration of all factors, the committee recommends that Dr. SteiD become the ExamiDatioD Provider for aD initial contract period of 1 year. The basic costs will remain comparable to the previous cODtract with Dr. Fowler with no iDcreased cost for fiscal year 1985-86 and within present budgeted amounts. Also, the quality of Dr. Stein's services have been fOUDd to be very acceptable during the interim contract.
