12 week summer Youth Employment Program (YEP). Councilman, Michael Glickert, provided details of the concerns raised in the administration of this program last summer: 1) Constitutional issues where the employment is limited to public high school students; 2) jobs that were duplication of current employee positions; and 3) students who were not residents of University City. Mr. Pichon noted that Mr. Walker’s memorandum addresses all of these issues. Ms. Watson said that the applicants for the program will provide resumes and each department of the City will mentor 1 or 2 of the employees. Mr. Greiman stated that he would like to see some objective criteria to assure that the selection is not arbitrary. Mr. Walker agreed that HR would draft selection criteria. A motion to exempt from the Civil Service Rules students that are hired through YEP, subject to submission of selection criteria, was carried unanimously. B. Request for New Position Classifications. Mr. Walker noted that he was not asking the Board to vote on the proposed new classifications tonight and there is a meeting scheduled for May 5 to vote on the proposed classifications. 1. Parking Controller. Ms. Watson reported that the City currently has 2 part-time employees who issue parking tickets, but there is a lot of turnover due to the part-time nature of the job. The police recommend one full-time and one half time parking controller, instead of 2 part-time positions. 2. Information Technology Manager. Ms. Weber noted that we have already had a thorough discussion of this position, so, she moved to approve. Mr. Pichon asked if there were any grievances filed by employees who were dismissed. Mr. Walker replied that there were no grievances related to this position. The motion carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jan Adams, Secretary 2
