Home My WebLink About06/07/1976 MINUTES June 7, 1975 The Study Session of the Wheat Ridge City Council was called to order by Mayor Frank Stites at 7 30 p.m. at 4355 Field Street. Councilmen present were Mary Jo Cavarra, Joseph Donaldson, Robert Howard, Calvin Hulsey, Larry Merkl and Louise Turner. Also in attendance were City Administrator John Jerman, City Attorney Maurice Fox, City Clerk Elise Brougham, City Treasurer James Malone staff and interested citizens. Item 1. was an interim report by Dr. Dave Fletcher regarding his work on revising the Civil Service Ordinance and the rules and regulations for the Police Dept. He stated Ordinance 154 and 40 are in conflict and who the chief answers to has to be clarified. He stated it was his feeling that the Personnel Rules should be separate from an ordinance although handling of discipline must provide adequate process and he is working with the City Attorney on this. He stated he has talked to police personnel and will talk to the City Council and that clarification of the roles of the administration and Council, Mayor, Police Chief and Civil Service Commission all need to be made and a decision of who has the final authority needs to be made. Item 2. was a discussion of reorganization proposals for the Police Dept. The City Administrator and the Chief of Police both presented plans with the essential difference being in the Chief's plan it allows for another juvenile officer instead of one sergeant. Also Mr. Jerman's plan divided the City into 2 patrolling districts. It was noted that an interim Plan 2 presented by the Chief would be in effect until November as the men under the Burglary Tactical Unit could not have the operations changed until the grant ran out at that time. Council agreed to use the Chief of Police Plan 2 and Final Plan 3 after November. These plans are attached to the Minutes. Item 3. was a report by Mr. Jerman on the actuarial study recently made on the Police Pension Fund which projected a deficit. Mr. Jerman stated the State Law allows 5% city and employee contribution which would have to be changed to increase the amount. Mayor Stites stated at the Police Pension Fund Meeting with the actuarial firm they had stated the deficit was not a matter of great concern at the present time. City Treasurer James Malone agreed and recommended that another study be done in a few years and that a big expense was the insurance premium for the fund and stated the Board could recommend dropping this expense. It was agreed that no action be taken at the present time. Item 4. was discussion of all v~hicles owned by the City and recollmendations for disposal and consolidation Jf use. Mr. Jerman explained a plan which had been distributed for disposal for 9 cars 5 of which would be replaced with the purchase of the new Novas. Councilman Merkl stated he would like to see more cars disposed of, and Councilman Cavarra stated she would like to see cars assigned to employees with low mileage use be removed and have the emplo{ee drive his own car and be reimbursed for mileage. She also stated the City needs a systematic schedule of disposal and purchase for vehicles and other equipment. It was agreed to go ahead with the proposed plan at present and at a later date reevaluate it. Item 5. was a proposal to air condition and heat the City Hall Offices. A roof top system that would stay with the building was projected at $2,541.00 with the money for the system ~ived from various accounts in the Administrative Services Department. Council agreed to place this on the 5/14/75 Agenda for action. MINUTES - 5/7/76 - Continued -2- Item 7. was consideration of final payment to Concrete Contractors Inc. for W. 41 Ave. project and for High Ct. The project had been accepted by the Public Works Dept. 5/10/75. Councilman Donaldson stated part of the walkway on High Court was broken. Mr. Hobbs recommended paying the bill minus $200 until that section is repaired. Councilman Hulsev also stated the dips in the road on W. 41 Ave. are constructed improperly and asked whose responsibility it was. It was stated the contractor placed them correctly according to the engineering plans. Council agreed to pay the bill minus the amount to correct the problem at High Ct. and they also agreed that the dips on W. 41 Ave. should be fixed. Item 8. was discussion of a request, to extend a position in Community Deveopment Dept. The position was a CETA funding through June 30 and in the event that the CETA funding was not extended the Director requested that it be continued for the rest of the year on a 20-25 hour week. Council agreed to this. Item 9. was a request by CouncifE~erkl regarding the idea of contracting with the County Sheriff's Dept. for police service. He presented a report to the Council to read and stated he felt this move would save money and requested permission to get more information at the County level. Council agreed that they should study the report before any further action is taken. Meeting was adjourned at 10 30 p.m. An Executive Session was held on Item 6. which was discussion regarding open space acquisitions at W. 32 Avenue and Union St. and at W. 29 Ave. and Wadsworth Blvd. &?J., / / Elise 8;d-U9h~( Ci tv Cl~qk ~.
