have limited resources. The Police Department has participated in their CERT Trainings and two <br />Emergency Preparedness classes, but does not feel that is enough. <br />Member Abelee said that it seems to make sense to have a conversation with the City Manager <br />regarding the reporting structure. She is concerned about moving ahead until the questions are <br />addressed and discussed. She would also like to know what role the County plays in all of this. Chair <br />Heystek asked if this was time sensitive. Secretary Hung noted that this could be tabled to the January <br />regular meeting. However, it is time sensitive in that the current part-time employee has limited hours. <br />Secretary Hung noted that the incumbent has surpassed 1,000 hours for the past two years and currently <br />enrolled in PERS, however she is not receiving full-time benefits. Captain Torres said the employee is <br />limited to 999 hours, which will run out in January or February. He also noted that this position is the <br />person that everyone will rely on should an EOC be activated. They want to keep to task what needs to <br />be done sooner rather than later. <br />Chair Heystek moved to table this item to the next meeting and urged the Board to review the <br />information and forward questions to staff. Member Badger seconded the motion. Vice Chair Ballew <br />stated that he is not opposed to the position or the full-time status, just where it lies. He suggested that <br />the Board adopt the position but have staff follow-up about moving it back to the City Manager's Office. <br />Chair Heystek responded that for him, in addition to the reporting structure, the interdisciplinary nature <br />of the position and engaging in forward thinking and not solely on response and emergency operations <br />are lacking in the proposed classification. Secretary Hung said it is ok to delay to January and she will <br />talk to the City Manager about attending the January meeting to address the Board's concerns. <br />M I S I P (Heystek/Badger) 4-0-1 to table the Emergency Services Specialist the January meeting. <br />Vice Chair Ballew abstained. <br />Chair Heystek also noted that in keeping with the Brown Act, any questions should be sent to <br />Secretary Hung directly, not to all Board Members or to a majority of the Board. However, <br />Secretary Hung can respond to requests for information from any Board Member and copy the full <br />Board. <br />V.
