Committee on Civil Service: actions and motions from Oct. 7 meeting
Summary
The Committee on Civil Service recorded a series of procedural motions Oct. 7: approval of agenda items 1–8, receipt and filing of items 9–13, and tabling of personnel items after discussion. Committee also removed items 3 and 8 from the table for brief updates.
Buffalo — The Buffalo City Council Committee on Civil Service on Oct. 7 took routine procedural actions on several agenda items and recorded follow-up directions for personnel matters.
Early in the meeting a motion was made to approve items 1 through 8 on the agenda; that motion was seconded by Councilmember Bowman. A separate motion to receive and file items 9 through 13 was seconded by Councilmember Revere. Both motions were presented and seconded on the record.
Later in the meeting the committee opened and discussed personnel-related items. Members moved to open item 14 (prior employee concerns) and item 15 (a letter regarding Buffalo Water working conditions) for discussion; those items were subsequently tabled pending additional documentation and possible private briefings.
Council members also moved to remove items 3 and 8 from the table for quick updates. Item 3 (safety and fire emergency coordination) was opened briefly for an update on signage, floor marshals and assistance for employees with mobility challenges. Item 8 (a resolution requesting a report on grievances, hiring and terminations) was opened and committee members requested that HR re-send the requested report and schedule further discussion.
Where the transcript records motions and seconds but not roll-call tallies, the committee left no vote counts on the public record in the transcript. Committee staff and the clerk's office were asked to provide follow-up materials and reports to the clerk in advance of subsequent meetings.
