Civil Service Commission’s Monthly Meeting

September 22, 2000

1. Call to Order:
The monthly meeting of the City of Seattle Civil Service Commission was called to order by Chairperson
Nina A. Harding on Friday, September 22, 2000 at 9:36 a.m.

2. Introduction of Attendees:
The Chair introduced the attendees:
Commission Chair Nina A. Harding, jd/mpa
Commissioner Kenneth M. Lowthian
Commissioner Ken Morgan
Miriam Israel Moses, Executive Director
Mary Effertz, Administrative Staff Assistant
Rhea J. Rolfe, Hearing Examiner, pro tem
Ruby Dell Harris, Secretary and Chief Examiner, Public Safety Civil Service Commission
Susan Cohen, City Auditor
David G. Jones, Deputy City Auditor
Yanira Cuellar, Auditor, Office of City Auditor
Jini Allen, Principal Accountant, Contract Compliance Division, ESD
Rod Brandon, Director, Contract Compliance Division, ESD, joined later in the meeting

The Chair asked the Executive Director if there would be any other guests at this meeting. The Executive
Director responded that Rod Brandon was expected to attend, as they had requested, but that she received a
late phone call from ESD HR Manager Cindy Eckholt informing the Executive Director that she had advised
Rod Brandon not to attend because there were no appeals concerning his division pending before the
Commission. The Executive Director advised the Commission that she had spoken to Mr. Brandon the day
before and that he confirmed that he would be in attendance. She advised the Commission that, under the
circumstances, they would simply have to wait and see whether he attended.

3. Approval of Minutes:
The Minutes of the July 28, 2000 meeting were read as revised. Commissioner Harding requested that
the “5 Demands for Police Accountability” appended to the July minutes be detached. The document
was detached and the minutes were signed as amended.

The Commission reviewed the minutes of the August 25, 2000 meeting. Chair Harding proposed
revisions to Page 5 - item (a); Page 7 - paragraphs 4 and 6; Page 8 - paragraph 3. Chair Harding, in
discussing the rationale for her proposed revision of Page 7, paragraph 6 stated that the paragraph as
drafted was troubling to her. She invited the other Commissioners to read it and see if they come to the
same analysis. The sentence in question states “Rather, every single opinion he [Steve Gross] had
written or recommendation he made to the Commission was not adopted and the recommendations of the
Executive Director had been followed in every case.”

The Chair explained her reasons for wishing this sentence deleted and Commissioners Morgan and
Lowthian, at first, concurred. The Chair asked for a motion to approve the minutes, however, before the
motion was brought to a vote, Rhea J. Rolfe, the Commission‟s designated Hearing Examiner, raised an
objection to the proposed revision. The Chair recognized Ms. Rolfe and her statement was heard. The
Executive Director requested the opportunity to speak and was also heard on this matter. Commissioner
Lowthian, after listening to both statements, and after some discussion, stated that, in his recollection, the
minutes as written were an appropriate reflection of the events. Commissioner Morgan concurred with
Commissioner Lowthian.

Commissioner Morgan provided some grammatical and punctuation corrections. The Chair then raised
the matter of the motion on the floor and Commissioner Lowthian requested clarification on whether the
motion was still the original motion to approve the minutes as revised. Chair Harding responded it was.

Commissioner Lowthian then proposed amending the motion to eliminate the revision proposed by Chair
Harding, to the last paragraph on page 7. Commissioner Morgan stated that he concurred with
Commissioner Lowthian. Chair Harding stated the amended motion as follows: “There is a motion on
the floor with amendment that the August minutes be approved with correction and that the amendment
regarding the second sentence on page 7 remain within the minutes. Do I have the sentiments [stated]
correctly?” Commissioners Lowthian and Morgan agreed on the motion as stated and Chair Harding
called for a vote. The motion was passed by a vote of two to one, with Commissioners Lowthian and
Morgan assenting and Commissioner Harding dissenting.

4. Council Activity:
a. The Commission reviewed a September 6, 2000 Agenda for the Finance, Budget and Economic
Development Committee. Item 5 contained a briefing by the City Auditor on the 2000 Work
Program. A copy of the presentation material to the Council was included in the Commission‟s
materials. Of special interest to the Commission is the audit of the Civil Service Commission and
the Public Safety Civil Service Commission.

The Executive Director suggested to the Commission, since the auditors were present at the meeting
and had requested the opportunity to make a presentation to the Commission, that the agenda be
shifted so that they could make their presentation at this time.

City Auditor Susan Cohen began by explaining a bit about the history of the City Auditor‟s Office.
She told the Commission that the Office was established in 1991 and that the Finance Chair and the
Council selected the Auditor for a term of six years. She noted that the City Auditor also is governed
by the applicable regulations of the State Auditor. Ms. Cohen advised the Commission that her
office engages in a variety of audits including performance audits. She told the Commission that
among these were the Department of Retirement Systems and that there are efforts being made to
audit the Good Shepherd Center.

Ms. Cohen elaborated a bit on the process of an audit, explaining that it begins by talking to relevant
parties at the beginning in order to develop a clear focus on what will be addressed. She told the
Commissioners that she would be meeting with each of them in a one-on-one meeting and that she
would likely be meeting with the Personnel Directors, Dwight Dively, the Law Department and
Human Resource Managers. There would also be a collection of data. Budgets, GARMS, caseloads,
and other similar data would be analyzed. From this material, there would be a job design, data
analysis and a draft report.

Ms. Cohen informed the Commission that, for the most part, no one sees the draft report except for
the Commission itself, the Law Department and the State Auditor‟s Office. The Commission is
given an opportunity to review the report to determine whether they believe it to be factual and
neutral. The report is finalized and published at which time it is given to the City Council. Ms.
Cohen informed the Commission that it would take approximately 3-6 weeks to establish the scope
of the audit. Once the scope has been determined, the auditors will know approximately how long
the actual audit will take.

Commissioner Harding invited the auditors to meet with the Commissioners in Executive Session.
Upon completion of the presentation by the auditors, the Commission returned to Agenda Item 4.

b. The Commission reviewed the September 20, 2000 Agenda for the Finance, Budget and Economic
Development Committee. The Agenda contained two items of interest:
 Item 3. CB 113357 provides 3.8% salary increases effective January 2, 2001 for certain
City employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Based on the language of
the bill and the inclusion of Strategic Advisors and Civil Service Commissioners in the
legislation, there was some discussion as to whether they were included or excluded from the
legislation. The Executive Director said that she would request clarification of the
legislation and report back to the Commissioners. The legislation was included in the
Commissioner‟s materials.
 Item 4. RES: 30233, which requires an evaluation of the Comprehensive Human
Resources Strategy for Information Technology Professionals and requires that employees
included in this system receive performance evaluations at least once each year. The
Executive Director noted that the Commission has been following the developments in the
implementation and changes to the Information Technology Human Resources Strategy. A
copy of the resolution was included in the Commission‟s materials.

5. Personnel Department Activity:

There was no Personnel Department Activity to report.

6. Related Policy/Administrative Issues:

a. The Commissioners reviewed a July 24, 2000 Memorandum from Roderick C. Brandon which had
been previously presented to them. The Commission requested this material to assist them during
the scheduled presentation by Mr. Brandon. Mr. Brandon did, in fact, join the Commission prepared
to speak on the matters of concern to the Commission with respect to the reorganization of the
Contract Compliance Division (CCD). The Executive Director explained to Mr. Brandon that the
Commission originally expressed concerns over the reorganization when they learned that it would
involve the abrogation of nine positions and the creation of only six. She also noted that there was
concern over the placement of the employees who would be laid-off as a result of the reorganization.
Mr. Brandon stated that he was prepared to speak to these issues.
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 5
September 22, 2000

Mr. Brandon provided the Commission with some history regarding the basis for the reorganization.
He explained that, with the development of the Copernicus project, City government decided to take
a look at how it might re-invent its purchasing systems. Directors wanted this concept expanded to
include Public Works and Consulting. At the same time (1999) I-200 passed. This caused the CCD
to take a look at all of the activities that take place after “post-contract.” This includes such
programs as apprenticeship, women and minority businesses, and prevailing wage.

Mr. Brandon explained that customers were unhappy with having to go to different people for each
aspect of their contract. Because of this, a decision was made to have employees become
“generalists” on compliance issues and allow them to gain a broad range of skills. Mr. Brandon told
the Commission that the organization‟s structure of his unit was reviewed “from top to bottom.” He
said that the driving force was “customer service” and, in order to provide customer satisfaction, all
aspects of the contracting process will be merged. This includes specification review, insurance,
advertising, etc. He also noted that there would be changes in reporting structure to allow employees
to work more independently.

Mr. Brandon acknowledged that the reorganization of his division would impact several employees
and told the Commission that it was for this reason that he gave everyone so much advance notice.
He assured the Commission that he had considered the amount of time that would be necessary for
employees to find new jobs or to exercise rights. Mr. Brandon acknowledged that not everyone
would be able to compete effectively for the new positions and that some of his current employees
would not meet the minimum qualifications for the new positions. He assured the Commission,
however, that he has been working with Personnel‟s Project Hire Staff as well as with the Manager
of Career Quest so that employees can avail themselves of the City‟s employment placement
services. Mr. Brandon closed by stating that his history in helping employees to find new jobs is a
good one and that his track record will speak for itself.

b. The Commission reviewed a memo dated August 16, 2000 from Dwight Dively, ESD Director, to all
Department Heads. Mr. Dively‟s memo announced the passage of WAC 296-62-051 which reduces
employee exposure to specific hazards that can cause or aggravate work-related "musculoskeletal
disorders" (WMSD). These can include back strain, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The
memo notes that each work area must be evaluated to determine whether a “WMSD” hazard is
present and, if so, the City must reduce the hazard below the criteria, or to the degree that is
technologically and economically feasible. Compliance must occur by July 1, 2003. The memo
notes that nearly 50% of all workers‟ compensation claims could be categorized as ergonomically
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 6
September 22, 2000

related. The memo also serves to provide advance notice of the budgetary implications of
compliance and the necessity of planning for required expenditures in advance.

7. Budget:
a. The Commission reviewed an August 31, 2000 memo from Council President Pro Tem Jan Drago.
Item II involved a discussion of the “Budget Ground Rules.” A schedule of all activities involved in
the 2001-2002 budget process, which was handed out during the Council discussion, was included in
the Commission‟s materials. The Chair acknowledged the work of Mr. St. Gerard and Ms. Walters
and asked the Executive Director to write them a thank you letter under her own signature.

8. New Business:
a. The Commission reviewed a September 8, 2000 e-mail from Councilmember Richard Conlin
congratulating the Copernicus team, of which the Commission‟s Administrative Staff Assistant is a
member, on the receipt of the NIGP (National Institute of Government Procurement) national award
for excellence in best practices.

b. The Commission reviewed an August 25, 2000 letter from Mayor Paul Schell to Copernicus
Department Coordinators, thanking them for their work and acknowledging their contribution to the
City‟s receipt of the NIGP‟s Presidential Citation for Excellence in Outstanding Achievement.

c. The Commission reviewed an August 29, 2000 letter from the Executive Director to Ruby Dell
Harris, Secretary and Chief Examiner of the Public Safety Civil Service Commission. The letter
covers the CSC‟s critical need for additional office space and proposes solutions that would involve
some slight reconfigurations of the current space and/or reassignment of space currently occupied by
some PSCSC personnel.

d. The Commission reviewed a September 19, 2000 letter from PSCSC Secretary and Chief Examiner
Ruby Harris, which responded to the Executive Director‟s letter. Ms. Harris‟ letter suggests that the
issue be addressed through a joint meeting of both Commissioners along with appropriate CBO and
ESD personnel. The Commission discussed this proposal and agreed that there should be a joint
meeting and that one should be scheduled. Commissioner Harding asked if there was a floor plan of
the space as it is currently allocated. The Executive Director responded that there was not, however,
she believed that the Facilities office probably had one and she would try to get a copy.

e. The Commission reviewed an August 24, 2000 letter to the Executive Director from City Auditor
Susan Cohen. The letter describes the basis for the audit that the City will be doing of the Civil
Service Commission. The letter describes protocol and phases of the audit process.

9. Progress Toward 1999-2000 Goals:
a. The Executive Director reported that the Commission was still on target with Customer Service goals,
both in turn around time and case processing time. She also noted that the Commission met its
biennial GARMS when the CSC web sites on the Inweb and PAN were completed early in 2000.

10. Director’s Monthly Case Status Report:
a. The Executive Director reported that there were no appeals pending before the Commission.
b. One appeals were closed since last report
 Anderson, Bill
c. Two new appeals filed since last report:
 Lopez, Rosa
 Miller, Linda
 Buchanan, Kenneth
 Forde, John Jr.
Total: 19 Active appeals. 2 from 1999, 17 from 2000.

11. Chair and Commissioner Comments:
a. Chair Harding asked Commissioner Morgan if there were any developments with the pending
arbitration. Commissioner Morgan responded that the union is proceeding aggressively and that the
hearing on the issue of TES employees working in what Commissioner Morgan said should be full
time positions, is scheduled for November 20, 2000. He noted that he would be required to be
present to observe and to give testimony.

b. Commissioner Morgan elaborated on the issues concerning the Zoo‟s becoming a private entity. All
city employees at the time of the transition will remain City employees and will still be represented
by Local 117 of the Teamsters Union. These employees will receive full salaries and benefits. New
employees, however, will not. The circumstances surrounding such a transition would likely create a
pay differential for people performing the same work. Should the Zoo become completely privatized,
there is a possibility that, not unlike another zoo where the same thing happened, all of the
employees at the top salary step will be laid-off and replaced with lower paid employees of created
park districts.

c. Chair Harding asked Commissioner Morgan if there was any further news about the birth at the Zoo.
Commissioner Morgan responded that the keepers are “fast rehearsing” for the birth and that there
will be a dress rehearsal for the birth next week.

d. Commissioner Harding asked Commissioner Lowthian if he had anything to report. Commissioner
Lowthian stated that he had no comments.

e. Chair Harding read into the record the following report of her activities since the August meeting:
 The Chair reported that she attended the Washington State Gender and Justice Commission
Conference. The Conference, entitled “Celebration 2000” was held in Spokane, WA. Its theme
was “Access to Justice.” The Chair reported that she served as facilitator for the workshop on
“Intersectionality of Race and Gender.” The Chair told the Commission that there was an
excellent discussion of “life antedotes” in which an African American Judge, a Native American
Public Defender Attorney, an Immigrant Attorney Victim, and a Domestic Violence Attorney
participated. The Chair also related to the Commission that there was a “role play” involving the
interview of a court personnel candidate for hire. Other role plays included a motions hearing
and the interaction of a judge and attorneys in a domestic violence trial wherein the victim was
being cross-examined. The scenario established that the victim was a person of color while the
opposing side and the judge were not. Issues of racism and sexism were exposed as a learning
tool to demonstrate the harmful results that occur in the case conclusion.

The Chair noted that there was a “Celebration 2000” petition sent to Governor Locke seeking
funding for Civil Equal Justice. She stated that there is a great need for legal services for poor
citizens, if “access to justice” is to be “a reality rather than an adage.” A copy of the letter to
Governor Locke was distributed to the Commissioners.

The Chair advised the Commission that the Washington State Gender and Justice Commission
honored Justice Richard P. Guy, who is retiring in November of 2000, for his “work for diversity
and justice.”

 Chair Harding informed the Commission that she received letters from King County Bar
Association Director Alice Paine and Continuing Legal Education Chair Rhea Rolfe, soliciting
her continued participation on the Committee. Chair Harding gave her “YES” response to CLE
Chair Rhea Rolfe, who was in attendance at the Commission meeting.
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 9
September 22, 2000

 Chair Harding informed the Commission that she was renamed by the Washington State Bar
Association Board of Governors to continue to serve on the CLE Committee. She noted that her
appointment would begin on October 1, 2000 and end on September 30, 2001. The Chair told
the Commission that this is her second reappointment to this very established Committee and
that a member may only serve when elected by the WSBA Board of Governors. She further
noted that this is a funded position and that the WSBA will reimburse her for out of pocket
expenses such as parking, meals and per diem.

 The Chair reported that she has been named a “founding member” of the Labor and Employment
Law Section of the Washington State Bar Association. She informed the Commission that 450
attorneys have joined the section and that 24 persons are identified as Executive Committee
candidates. The ballots were sent to all 450 section members and they are due to be returned on
September 25, 2000. The candidate pool contained 12 persons in defense bar, 6 persons in
plaintiff‟s bar and 6 persons in public sector bar. The Chair explained to the Commission that 7
persons would be elected to serve on the section‟s Executive Committee with the goal of having
a balance between “attorney type and Washington geographics.”

 Chair Harding reported to the Commission that she again served as facilitator in the “City Talks,
A Discussion on Race” program. She attended facilitator training on September 12, 2000 from
3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Chair told the Commission that this was a quarterly series initiated by the
Seattle Office for Civil Rights. The most recent segment of the series was held on September
20, 2000 from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Dome Room. The Chair told the Commission that the
attendance was smaller as compared to the past quarterly “City Talks” sessions. The issue raised
during this segment of the program was “How do each of us engage in racial discrimination
AND what can we do to stop?” The goal was to encourage honest dialog about race between
City employees and managers in all departments throughout all levels of the City.

The Chair told the Commission that she sat at the same table as Councilmember Peter
Steinbrueck, who made the opening remarks. She noted that Police Chief Kerlikowske was in
the audience. The Chair reported that this was a less spirited discussion because the question is
more introspective. She stated that this is an easy issue to intellectualize, but that it is hard to
identify and be critical of personal inappropriate conduct. The Chair told the Commission that
the next quarterly segment will be held on December 6, 2000, with the topic to be announced
after a reviewing the facilitators‟ input and the evaluations that are received. She reminded the
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 10
September 22, 2000

Commission that the common theme of the series is “how can I improve my work place? The
goal of the series is to “engage in a dialog.”

Commissioner Morgan asked how the extended lunches were handled for employees. More
specifically, he expressed interest in how employees at the Zoo might arrange to attend. The
Executive Director responded that the Mayor sent out a Citywide electronic message to all
employees encouraging supervisors to make arrangements to, whenever possible, assist
employees who wanted to attend so that they could take an extended lunch hour to participate.

After completing her discussion of the City Talks Race program, Chair Harding determined that
it would be appropriate for Germaine Covington, Director of the Seattle Office for Civil Rights,
to come to the Commission and discuss, as the Department sponsoring the program, its
importance and success. The Executive Director said that she would extend the invitation.

 The Chair reported on a case from the Washington Employees Law Association in which the
Supreme Court struck down the “Violence Against Women Act.” The Chair provided the
following summary:
On May 15, 2000, the U.S. Supreme overturned the Violence Against Women Act, which
many employment and civil rights plaintiffs had used when they were the victims of gender-
motivated violence.

The Court held that congress did not have power to enact the law under the Commerce
Clause of the constitution stating that the Commerce Clause could not support federal
penalties for this conduct because crimes of violence are not economic activity.

The Court also held the 14th Amendment, Section 5, granted no protections either because
the 14the Amendment covers only state action.

The case is: United States v Morrison, No. 99-5. The Chair related its significance as
follows:

This case is significant to the CSC because it means that women city employees who are
victims of domestic violence OR violence in the workplace have NO civil remedies for their
injuries. Their only remedy is the criminal justice system and that remedy benefits society
more than it benefits the victim.

Interestingly enough, this was one of the issues that the Seattle University School of Law
Moot Court Competition argued wherein the Chair was one of the judges. The consensus of
the faculty mentor and we volunteer judges was consistent with the U. S. Supreme Court
ruling although we did not like the results of our analysis. We were, however, pleased with
our diligence to argue both sides of the issue. The „economic impact‟ issue was the most
difficult. Our fact pattern had 'state action' so the 14th Amendment, Section 5 applied and
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 11
September 22, 2000

that analysis was much easier. The Seattle University team won at regional and went on to
national competition.

 The Chair updated the Commission on the another U. S. Supreme Court case in which the Court
is to decide whether or not the Federal Arbitration Act covers employment contracts. The Chair
provided the following summary:

The U. S. Supreme Court will review a Ninth Circuit case (Washington State is in the 9th
Circuit) involving the application of the Federal Arbitration Act to employment contracts.

The case is: Circuit City Stores v Adams No. 99-1379, cert was granted on May 22, 2000.
The decision below is cited as: Circuit City Stores v Adams, 194 F.3d 1070 (9th Cir.)

This case is significant as it will have a „trickle down‟ effect upon us as a Commission. The
city has a mediation process in place and there is a joint agreement with the county to
provide mediators. There is also the disagreement on the issue as between CSC and Mike
Schoeppach of the City Labor Department as to whether or not a city employee has
surrendered their right to have their matter heard by the CSC by virtue of joining the union
so that the only forum open to a city employee grievant is the grievance procedure of the
respective union contract.

 The Chair advised the Commission that she has submitted her opening brief in her First
Amendment Workplace Speech case in the Federal Court of Appeals. The State‟s Rebuttal Brief
is due on October 17th, and the Chair‟s Reply Brief is due on October 17, 2000.

 The Chair reported to the Commission on the issue of racial profiling. She told the Commission
that this was “A NATIONAL issue of Civil Liberties Violations.” The Chair made the
following report:
For the Commission‟s information, there is a $100 million dollar civil action filed against
the City of Seattle as a class action on behalf of the victims. Many of the victims are city
employees. Should this action prevail, it is the tax revenues of WE citizens that pay, not
individual officers, who generally live outside of the City of Seattle. I do not know if the
Police Guild has been enjoined in this class action as a co-defendant.

The Chair advised the Commission that she gave testimony before the City Council on August
22, 2000 regarding the link between racial profiling and her brother‟s suicide. She told the
Commission that her brother was a 50-year-old African American man with a BA and MA from
the University of Massachusetts who had been a schoolteacher, counselor and football coach.
She told the Commission that it was not until she attended the City Council hearing on the issue
that she saw her brother‟s suicide as the result of racial profiling.

The Chair then told the Commission that on August 31, 2000, she, herself, was threatened with
arrest by a Seattle Police Department Officer in front of the Courthouse on 4th Avenue and James
Civil Service Commission Minutes Page 12
September 22, 2000

St. She told the Commission that she had broken no law and that no law was ever cited as
broken. She reported that she advised the Officer that she was an attorney on court business and
that the Officer responded that he did not care. Chair Harding told the Commission that the
Officer refused to surrender his name and badge number as required by SPD procedure. The
Chair has reported the incident to SPD Chief Gil Kerlikowske. She told the Commission that the
Officer suggested that she write to the Internal Affairs Division and that he “cussed” at her and
gave her the finger.

Chair Harding told the Commission that she reported the incident to Police Chief Kerlikowske in
person when he, as promised, stopped by to meet with the African American Advisory
Committee on September 12, 2000. The Chair explained to the Commission that this committee
comprises “concerned community folks,” as well as representatives of the Downtown and East
Precinct stations of the Seattle Police Department and the King County Sheriff‟s Office. The
Chair noted that similar community committees were created by former Police Chief Norm
Stamper throughout Seattle for the purpose of forming outreach linkages between the police and
the community. The AAAC Chair was a part of the new Police Chief Selection Committee.

The Chair advised the Commission that she would be writing a letter to Police Chief
Kerlikowske as well as the Seattle Police Department‟s Internal Investigation group and the
North Precinct making clear that this is an issue of racial profiling.

The Chair reminded the Commission that they were advised of the incident when senior citizen
and Montlake Terrace Councilman Lonnie Williams was stopped and threatened with arrest on
an Officer‟s accusation of possession of drugs and weapons. She also reminded them of
Councilmember Richard McIver‟s encounter with the SPD during WTO as he attempted to
access the Sheraton Hotel for a formal welcoming reception. The Chair told the Commission
that she has been receiving supportive feedback from “folks I know and do not know in person,
in church, via telephone, and from cards and letters at home from former clients.” She summed
up the issue as one of “Civil liberties to persons of color.”

Chair and Commissioner Comments having been completed, the Commission adjourned to Executive
Session.

12. Adjourn to Executive Session:
The Commission adjourned to Executive Session at 12:20 p.m.
