Councilman Hernandez requested that letters submitted Hernandez ask: by remaining members of the Personnel Board be read, for other lett( rs be read A,report signed by two members of the Personnel Board W. Wesley�Kloepfer and Saul Winokur, disagreed with the -majority opinion of -the Personnel Board, They Report signed reasoned that: the Board should not have heard.the by Kloepfer and appeal, it lacked jurisdiction as the Ordinance does Winokur read not provide for an appeal back to the Board after ' action by the City Council. The Ordinance states in effect "In event -of bad faith or lack of evidence, the Council -shall be the final -review board and the Counoilts action will be final.' - The finding of guilty by the Board, and transpiring events between the time the verdict was sent to the Council and the action of the -Council substantiates the fbad faith" provision of the Ordinance. The Council acted within their right to correct the situation, and the Personnel Board was presump- tious in sitting in judgement in such action. A letter from Saul Winokur, member of the Personnel Letter from Board regarding the. -,hearing held July 13th, 1953 at Winokur read the request of A. L. Kendrick, -gave an opinion that the Personnel Board is an administrative body, not a'judicial body and may not be properly called upon to decide the legality or illegality of City Council actions. The conclusion is that the Civil Service Ordinance - does not give the Personnel -Board -power to counter- mand City Council actions irrespective of whether the Council action was proper or not.
