an independent audit had been done this year by a new
firm and another independent audit is not necessary.
She did request that the City Council have a
step-by-step budget review and more study sessions.
Mayor King stated that he has changes that he wants to AUTHORITY
make, but the City Attorney stated to him that there is TO APPOINT
a format for doing things and that format is to direct AND
Staff to meet and consult for the purpose of making all DISMISS
Department Heads subject to the City Council's power of DEPARTMENT
appointment and dismissal. The Department heads need to HEADS
meet within the next two weeks, between now and the next
Council meeting and confer on this subject. Then
this Council will take whatever action it deems
necessary at that time.
City Attorney Flandrick stated that the motion, as he MOTION
understand the desire, is to direct the Staff to engage STATED BY
in the Meet and Consult process for the purpose of CITY
considering a change in the existing regulations which ATTORNEY
would result in the appointment power being vested in
the City Council, appointment and dismissal power in the
City Council, for all Department Heads, with the City
Manager's role being that simply of recommendations.
Mayor King stated that was his motion and MOTION
Councilwoman Lowes seconded the motion. SECONDED
Councilman Gibson stated that he objected to the motion DISCUSSION
because the basic principal of the Manager/Council
relationship is being called into question and that it
is more than a change to the City's regulations. He
considered it a challenge to the entire system. He
explained his viewpoint of the Council as policy makers
and the City Manager as a manager of those policies. He
referred to the system that is used by the City of Los
Angeles. He felt that the City Manager should have
the say as to whom he chooses to work.
Mayor King stated that he had a difference of opinion on
this issue and also commented on the staff report as
presented by the City Manager relating to the City
Manager's appointment and dismissal authority. He
explained his position on this issue and felt that the
Council, as elected people, subject to the citizens of
this town, that the Council should make the decision on
the appointment/dismissal of Department Heads. He felt
that the councilmembers are managers, since they manage
the affairs of the City, and there will be no rampant
misuse of this authority by the City Council and the
City Manager will have an intrical role in the selection
process. He stated that the Council has not interferred
in the three-fifths vote they must give to approve a
Department Head's appointment in the past.
Councilman Izell stated that according to the report the
City Manager can not hire anyone without the Council's
approval anyway. This could be put back and discussed
again and the majority rules.
It had been moved and seconded to direct the Staff to MOTION TO
engage in the Meet and Consult process for the purpose MEET AND
of considering a change in the existing regulations CONSULT
which would result in the appointment power being vested RELATING
in the City Council, appointment and dismissal power in TO APPOINT
the City Council, for all Department Heads, with the MENT AND
City Manager's role being that simply of DISMISSAL
recommendations. M/S: KING/LOWES. DEPT HEADS
Councilman Gibson stated that he would like clarifica- COUNCILMAN
tion from the City Attorney. He asked if by having INQUIRY
Staff go back and meet and consult, are we binding
ourselves to anything? What are we asking for?

OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK PAGE TEN
City Attorney Flandrick stated that this is a proposed CITY
change in terms and conditions of employment and ATTORNEY
therefore it is required that there be a meet and confer RESPONSE
or meet and consult process with recognized employee
organizations before any final action is taken by the
City Council.
If the motion carries tonight, the manager will
undertake to commence that process, complete it and
report back to you as to what that consultation process
demonstrates. In other words what other employee
organizations have to say about this proposal. And to
bear in mind it is still just a proposal. At that time
in two weeks or four weeks whenever it comes back
to you it will come back in the form of that report and
then you will make a determination, by changing the
ordinance, if that's your desire, to insure that all
Department Head appointment and dismissal process rests
in the hands of the City Council, as such. The role of
the City Manager would simply be to recommend with
respect to that process.
Mayor King directed that this item be returned in two
weeks.
It had been moved and seconded to direct the Staff to MOTION TO
