Adoption of Statement by the Civil Service Commission formalizing its reasons for its January 16, 2009 Decision in the following matter.  (File No. 0268-08-1) – Action Item

 

 

 

Challenge to the Classification Decision Relating to Q-50 Sergeant Appointments and Assignments Made in August 2007: 1) Whether Assignment to Sergeants of Work Traditionally Performed by Q-35 Assistant Inspectors and 0380 Inspectors as Described in the Class Specifications for those Ranks was Proper under Civil Service Commission Rules; 2) If Not, the Appropriate Remedies.

 

 

 

Appeals from Q-35 Assistant Inspector Eligibles on List ID 21055 Challenging the Classification Decision and the Q-50 Sergeant Appointments and Assignments and the Failure to Appoint Appellants to Q-35 Assistant Inspector.

 

 

January 16, 2009:

1) The Commission finds that all appointments made to the rank of Q-50 Sergeant from the eligible list resulting from the Q-50 examination administered in 2006 were and remain valid appointments

 

 

 

 

2) The Commission orders the Department of Human Resources to amend the class specification for Q-50 Sergeant in such a way as to make clear that the duties of Q-50 Sergeant extend to full investigative matters pursuant to policies adopted by the Police Department.  The amendment of such specification will be subject to all existing Civil Service Commission Rules regarding appeals from classification actions of the Human Resources Director.

 

 

 

 

3) In the interim between the present day and the amendment of the class specification of Q-50 Sergeant, assignments of Q-50 Sergeants to the Investigations Bureau may continue in place.

 

 

 

 

4) The Commission orders that until the class specification for
Q-50 Sergeant is amended, there be no increase in the number of assignments of Q-50 Sergeants to the Investigations Bureau.

 

 

 

 

5) The Commission finds that the assignments of Q-50 Sergeants to work historically and routinely performed by Q-35 Assistant Inspectors and 0380 Inspectors, facially violated Civil Service Commission Rules, and on that basis the Commission orders that a new examination be given.

 

 

 

 

6) Pursuant to Section 211.3 of Civil Service Commission Rules, the Commission orders that the Department of Human Resources  hold a hybrid examination for the Q-35/Q-50 ranks as soon as may practicably be done.

 

 

 

7) Pursuant to Section 211.3 of the Civil Service Commission Rules, the Director of Human Resources is empowered to rule on all matters relating to such hybrid examination, subject to appeal to this Commission when appropriate, as allowed under these Rules.

 

 

 

8) Until the adoption of an eligible list resulting from such hybrid examination, the Chief of Police may, although is not required to, make appointments to the rank of Q-35 Assistant Inspector from the existing List adopted in November of 1998.

 

 

 

 

9) Nothing contained in the foregoing eight provisions should be construed to create a right on the part of eligibles remaining on the November 1998 Q-35 List to be appointed to Q-35 Assistant Inspector.  (Vote of 3 to 0)

 

 

Note: A closed session on this item is possible.  A closed session may not be held, but the option to hold a closed session is provided to the Commission.
