He stated the Association believes an Employee Review Board for disciplinary action should be , included in the proposed City Charter amendments, and stated it had been discussed what civil service would do to improve due process ' along with other issues of concern to firefighters. He commented ! the Association believed the City Council had made a strong � commitment to include the Review Board in the proposed Charter 4 amendment. Mr. Hames stated establishment of a Review Board would � provide local control of issues and provide due process without political overtones. Placement of the Review Board on the ballot ; for the Charter amendment would also allow the citizens to determine whether they wanted a Review Board. i i � ; 02/04/92 ITEM 1.

RESOLUTION. CALLING CITY CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION • Charter Review Commission Co-Chair Alice Hardin presented the f Charter Review Commission's recommendation to place 14 propositions on the ballot for a City Charter Amendment Election. City Attorney i John F. Boyle, Jr. reported the first ten (10) propositions were to E bring the City Charter into compliance with State law and case law, ; and the four (4) remaining propositions dealt with eliminating the [ reading of the captions at meetings, filing of the City budget with � the State, clarifying the term "emergency" and use of contingency � funds, and providing generic terminology pertaining �o accounting ' requirements. Ms. Hardy reported the Commission voted 4-3 not to � include a Citizens Appeals Board in the proposed Charter = amendments. � � Lengthy discussion ensued with Council Members commenting regarding � a Citizens Appeals Board. ; ; � Mayor Tate stated that during the 1991 Civil Service election, � comments were made that if the Police and Fire Departments would � "back off" on the issue, the City Council would try to address ' those departments' concerns in a City Charter amendment. If a � proposed appeals board is presented to the voters and passes, it would benefit all the employees, not only the Police and Fire � Departments as would Civil Service. � 2 � 02/04 92 I / '� Mayor Pro Tem Ware commented that establishment of an appeals board � would undermine the authority of the City Manager, but he was not � opposed to determining the structure, duties, qualifications and appointment of inembers to an appeals board. He stated the voters �' should be informed on what they were voting to establish, i.e. : I structure, duties, etc. � Council Member Pittman stated the City's current appeals process appears to be working as there are checks and balances in place. ; He stated the voters turned down Civil Service 2 to 1 in May, 1991; ; therefore, he believes the voters have already spoken regarding an appeals board process. Council Member Spencer commented that it was her belief that when ! " the voters defeated Civil Service, they were not voting against an , appeals board. She expressed concern that wording the ballot for ' an appeals board would be a task, but noted another level of appeal is worth considering. j Council Member Wilbanks expressed his opposition to an appeals board by stating it was his belief that the community recognized what they were voting against when they defeated the Civil Service ` issue. Also, it is the City Council's responsibility to take corrective action when employees are not being treated fairly. Council Member Wickman stated his support for an appeals board. He reported the Police and Fire Departments wanted an appeals board to ; counteract overzealous department heads, City Manager and City Council. He stated it was his belief that the citizens would j support an appeals board that is constructed in a professional � manner to address terminations and demotions to assist the City Manager with checks and balances on a local level that would not be perceived as being bureaucratic. It was also his opinion that the board should not address promotions, letters in personnel files and ; other operational issues that are a responsibility of the department heads. Council Member Traverse stated his opposition to creation of an ' appeals board as it would dilute the City Manager form of government. The current appeals process works. He stated that recently a new personnel policy manual was adopted that addressed concerns expressed by the Police and Fire Departments. During disucssion, comments were made that the Civil Service languaqe for an appeals board grants to much authority to the , board. City Attorney John F. Boyle, Jr. advised the City Council could consider the resolution calling the City Charter amendment '! election and would not be precluded at the next City Council meeting to add one or more additional items, if they so desired. The caption of the proposed resolution calling the City Charter ' amendment election to include the Charter Review Commissions' : recommended fourteen (14) propositions was read into the record. 3 ' i 02/04/92 Council Member Spencer, seconded by Council Member Traverse, made a motion to adopt the resolution.

' � Council Member Wickman offered a motion to direct the City Staff to develop specifics regarding the structure of an appeals board to address terminations and demotions.

Hardy presented a report concerning off-premise developer signs that would direct attention to new subdivisions. Allowing off-premise signs could be j implemented but could not be limited to directing attention to ; subdivisions. Also, the text could not be regulated for i off-premise signs which would allow any type of retail use, service , use, etc. for these signs. If the signs were permitted, the City could regulate the size, location, height or any performance regulations that are necessary in permitting the signs. Mr. Hardy , I reported the possibility of City maintained off-premise development signs located in the right-of-way was researched. If development signs were permitted in the right-of-way, they would detract from public safety signs. The State Highway Department was contacted, and they will not allow signs in their right-of-way which advertise private uses. A survey of area cities indicated that Grapevine is consistent with other cities in their regulations of off-premise signs. Therefore, Mr. Hardy recommended the City not adopt regulations allowing off-premise developer signs. Disucssion ensued relative to recent cases before the Board of i Zoning Adjustments requesting variances to the sign ordinance to allow off-premise developer signs. � Following discussion, Council Member Spencer, made a motion to reaffirm the City Council's support for existing off-premise sign ' regulations with no alterations/amendments. The motion, seconded , by Council Member Traverse, prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Ware, Spencer, Wilbanks, Traverse, Pittman & Wickman Nays: None NOTE: Mayor Tate left the meeting at this time.
