<br />Councilwoman Cisneros felt that there have been sufficient meetings and hearings held on the planned projects, and
<br />due to the time element and financial constraints, Council should authorize Staff to instruct the architect to
<br />proceed with the revisions as outlined, and take into consideration the suggestions as made by the Loma Linda
<br />Medical Clinic for the Multi -Service Center. Mrs. Cisneros also commended Mr. de la Cerda and the Commission for
<br />their dedicated work and efforts„
<br />Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Hayes, authorizing Staff to instruct the architect to proceed
<br />with the recommendations and revisions of the Planned Projects as outlined by Staff, and to take into consideration
<br />the suggestions as submitted by the Loma Linda Medical Clinic for the Multi -Service Center. Vote was unanimous.
<br />Housing Rehabilitation Program
<br />Mr. de la Cerda advised the Council Members that two public hearings have been held on the third year funding
<br />applications to HUD, and reported that discussions and recommendations include strong support for a housing rehabili-
<br />tation program, establishing a fund for grants to homeowners, and budget allocations for the Fiscal Year 1977-78
<br />for Personnel and Operating Expenses.
<br />Mr. de la Cerda concluded that another public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, January 20, 1977.
<br />CORRESPONDENCE:
<br />Library
<br />Councilman Rehrer read his memorandum regarding the purchase of a plaque for the City Library, designating the
<br />building as an historical site of Colton, and referred to a copy of the proposed wording to be inscribed on the
<br />plaque.
<br />Councilman Rehrer advised that the size of the plaque and number of letters will determine the eventual cost, and
<br />if the proposed wording is approved this evening, a resolution will be prepared for approval by the City Council at
<br />the next regular meeting.
<br />Councilwoman Cisneros felt that the wording following the name LEROY "BUD" REHRER was too excessive, and that the
<br />title of Councilman was sufficient. Mrs. Cisneros stated this may aid in a saving of funds toward the plaque.
<br />Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve wording of Plaque for the Colton Library,
<br />with suggested deletion of words as made. Motion carried, with Councilman Rehrer abstaining.
<br />Personnel
<br />Civil Service Board
<br />City Manager Huffaker reported from his memorandum, and attached correspondence, regarding the dismissal of Mr. Howard
<br />Heimbecker and hearings that were conducted by the Civil Service Board on the Appeal filed by Mr. Heimbecker, and
<br />the Board's recommendations for reinstatement of the employee.
<br />Mr. Huffaker advised that at a Special Meeting of the Civil Service Board, held January 5, 1977, the Board unanimous-
<br />ly voted to recommend reinstatement of Mr. Heimbecker, effective December 6, 1976.
<br />City Attorney Edwards advised that Mr. William J. Brunick, Attorney representing Mr. Heimbecker, has stated that Mr.
<br />Heimbecker is willing to waive back wages, and then asked Mr. Heimbecker if this is so.
<br />Mr. Heimbecker replied yes, on the advice of legal counsel.
<br />Mr. Robert L. Daugherty, Employee Representative of the San Bernardino Public Employees Association, spoke on behalf
<br />of Mr. Heimbecker, stating inasmuch as the employee has agreed to waive back pay in order to return to work, and the
<br />Civil Service Board, at two separate meetings, unanimously voted to recommend reinstatement of Mr. Heimbecker, Mr.
<br />Daugherty said he would respectfully request that the City Council seriously consider removing any and all material
<br />and correspondence relating to this incident from the Personnel File of Mr. Heimbecker.
<br />Mr. Huffaker said he would recommend denial of this request.
<br />Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to reinstate Mr. Howard Heimbecker to his position of
<br />Water Quality Control Plant Operator, effective January 19, 1977, with the provision that any back pay be waived.
<br />Before the voting, Mayor Pro Tem Gonzales asked Councilman Hayes if he also wished to include in his motion the
<br />portion relating to removal of this incident from the employee's Personnel File.
<br />Councilman Hayes questioned the legality of this procedure.
<br />City Attorney Edwards stated that, this would be at the discretion of the City Council, and that they can take
<br />whatever action they so desire.
<br />Councilman Rehrer felt that this could not actually be done, inasmuch as this incident covered a period of over two
<br />months, the individual had not received pay during this interim and, therefore, there would have to be a record of these
<br />events and proceedings.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated he would withdraw his motion, and Councilwoman Cisneros stated she would withdraw her
<br />second to the motion.
<br />Mayor Pro Tem Gonzales stated he felt this information and material should be removed from the employee's Personnel
<br />File. Mr. Gonzales said the Minutes of the meetings held by the Civil Service Board reflect that Mr. Heimbecker
<br />was not found guilty, reinstatement was unanimously recommended, and he, therefore, feels that this matter should
<br />be stricken from the employee's record as it could be detrimental to him in the future.
<br />Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to reinstate Mr. Howard Heimbecker to his position of
<br />Water Quality Control Plant Operator, effective January 19, 1977, waiving back pay, and that any and all information
<br />or correspondence relating to this incident be removed from this employee's Personnel File. Upon Roll Call, the
<br />Vote was:
<br />AYES: Three, Cisneros, Hayes, Gonzales
