34s Personnel Officer Huffaker submitted the Affidavit of Posting and reported that no written protests or objections had been received. Mr. Huffaker referred to his memorandum outlining the reasoning behind the proposal to provide lateral entry for Police Officers as an alternative to the selection process. Mr, Huffaker explained that intention of the proposal shall apply only to the class of Police Officer and in review- ing this with representatives of the Colton Police Association minor language changes have been agreed to in the resolution of implementation. Mr. Huffaker called Council's attention to line 11 of Resolution No. 3635, saying the words "vocational field" should be stricken and in their place the single word "class" inserted; also, on line 17 the following words should be added to the end of the sentence "for Police Officer class only". Mr. Richard M. Kreisler, Legal Counsel for the Colton Police Association, addressed the City Cuncil stating that he strongly urged adoption of the revised language in Resolution No. 3635, providing for lateral entry at the class level of Police Officer only. Mr. Kreisler stated if this language is adopted the Colton Police Association would have no objections to the proposal Mr. H. E. Robinson, 145 East G Street, Colton, spoke against the proposal saying he did not feel the position standards should be lowered.
