CATHIE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS WOULD BE AN ASSIGNMENT TO THE SOUTH KING COUNTY TASK FORCE NOT A PROMOTION OR A NEW HIRE SITUATION WHERE CIVIL SERVICE WOULD BE INVOLVED. THE DECISION AS TO WHO WILL BE SELECTED RESTS WITH THE BOARD OF THE TASK FORCE WHICH IS MADE UP OF CHIEFS FROM EACH OF THE FOUR MEMBER CITIES. APPLICANTS WILL ALSO COME FROM ALL FOUR CITIES. IT IS MY THOUGHT THAT IF AN EMPLOYEE FROM OUR DEPARTMENT WAS SELECTED FOR THIS SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT, SUCH AS A RECORD SPECIALIST, THAT I WOULD BE IN A POSITION TO HIRE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECORDS SPECIALIST SELECTED. CIVIL SERVICE WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE INVOLVED IN THAT PROCESS. IN REALITY, I FEEL THAT THIS ASSIGNMENT IS REALLY NO DIFFERENT THEN AN ASSIGNMENT TO TRAFFIC UNIT OR DETECTIVES AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS WE CURRENTLY HANDLE OTHER SPECIALTY ASSIGNMENTS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT. PERHAPS WE SHOULD DISCUSS THIS WITH SANDRA SHOULD YOU DISAGREE WITH MY SSMENT OF THE SITUATION. THANKS, ROD. • CITY OFlj�� CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION JUN 51990 IN CT June 4 , 1990 PETER C.
