C� Lb The Personnel Board Committee having made a study of the appointment of a Poundmaster, as requested by Council at the regular meeting of 10/1/62, Councilman Jackson stated they found it difficult to arrive at a solution regarding Mr. Kari E. Hopf, No. 1 man on the eligibility list for Poundmaster. It appears, as stated in Mr. Hopf's letter which was submitted to Council., that he probably had not checked as deeply as he should into whether or not he had passed his physical examina- tion as required, and that the Police Department went ahead before they were assured that his physical examination was 'satisfactorily completed. Councilman Jackson stated it is apparent to him from the doctor's report that the Police Department was within their rights in rejecting Mr. Hopf for employment, and that apparently he did not receive the notice of his failure to qualify for employment with the City under the classification applied for, Mayor Ortuno corrected Mr. Hopf's statement made in his letter that his appointment had been approved by the City Council, by stating that the Council had not approved the appointment, since a request by the Department Head and a recommendation of the Personnel Board had not been submitted to Council in the case of Mr. Hopf. Mrs. Joan Parks, Personnel Clerk, and Police Captain Warren appeared before Council and answered Council's questions rela- tive to procedure after an applicant has passed the oral and written examinations. After discussion, it was moved by Councilman Memmesheimer, seconded by Councilman Cooney and unanimously carried that the recommendation of the Chief of Police be granted, that the appointment of Mr. Jerry Holloway to the position of Poundmaster be confirmed by the Council. 'Discussion was held regarding the uniform and equipment pur- chased by Mr. Hopf in contemplation of starting work as Poundmaster. Moved by Councilman Memmesheimer, seconded by Councilman McLees and unanimously carried that Mr. Hopf be reimbursed for the expense of his uniform and any other equipment he may have purchased relative to the position of Poundmaster, and that the equipment be turned in to the City as City property.
