Bravo!! I say Bravo to City Manager Duchane, Mayor Brown, Council President Kandes, Councilman Higgins, Councilman Vaslo and Councilman Mario DiSanto. These men showed true courage during our financial problems. They developed a plan to get rid of the dead weight from the DPS. Once done, they could focus on SERVICE to our community. Now we are able to hire new "blood" into the DPS. People who will not simply learn the "old way" of doing things. People who will not cry to the Union whenever a citizen criticises the DPS. People who can be called WORKERS and it will mean they will be working. No more 6 man crews to do a 2 man job. Bravo to all those who had the courage to make the necessary changes. They promised changes after the 2003 election and they came through. BRAVO!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congratulations Councilman Mario DiSanto. The Dean of the LP Council |

Some of the requirements are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities act. They may also be not in line with the Unions requirement the employer follow the State and Federal labor laws.

American Disability Act? This is a labor position my friend. The act only requires the employer to make "reasonable accomodations" If a person has a disability that require more than "reasonable accomodations" then he is not qualified for the position. I don't think the city cares about the Union Requirements. They made that crystal clear when forcing the ERI onto the Unions. From what I can remember, the unions never made so much as a peep. The Firefighters stomped their feet a little, but in the end they fell right into line with the rest of them. |

Can someone read this and discuss with me any ramifications of this job opening with the charter? (also, take a look at these powers and duties that our municipal employees have not had the luxury of enjoying a commission representing them the passed however many years....)

We have been griping about not having a quorum for the Municipal Service Commission for over two years. I don't see how they can or could have been adequately represented without this. Not having this commission with a quorum is against our Charter. This falls squarely on Mayor Brown's shoulders. Note: Me and Iheart put our letter and resumes' in over two years ago for this board. Instead of Brown appointed one or both of us he chose to break our charter law by not filling the openings thus it did nor does now have a quorum.

"FIELD OF VISION: Observing an area that can be seen up and down or to right or left while eyes are fixed in a given point. This factor is important when job performance requires seeing a large area while keeping the eyes fixed." Doesn't seem like a stiff requirement to me. Anyone who can't meet this requirement shouldn't have a driver's license |
