VI. CURRENT BUSINESS
A. ORAL REPORTS
1. CITY-WIDE AND HUMAN RESOURCES MATTERS – Terri L.
Cassidy, Deputy City Manager/HR Director
Deputy City Manager/HR Director/Secretary to the Board Terri Cassidy wished
everyone a Happy Valentine's month and introduced Administrative Specialist to
the City Attorney Lisa Buzby and Administrative Technician Marissa Sur, who
were being trained by Ms. Ramirez.
Ms. Cassidy reported that City Council held its goal-setting retreat in the
Community Room on Saturday, January 31, providing several departments an
opportunity to update the Council on CIP projects, public and private
developments, and the state of revenue and budget matters. She added that
Council did not provide a set of goals, but indicated they will be doing so in the
near future. She added that the Mayor's Dinner will be held this week.
The Human Resources Department is active with several training sessions
(Workers Compensation, Injury/Illness Prevention Program, mandated safety
program) and implementing the City-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
computer system. Because HR is short staffed, with the majority of the veteran
staff members out of the department working on the ERP project, she asked
Board Members for advanced notice on any requests and/or in-office visits.
She reported that the City's award event will be held in June and that the date is
yet to be determined.
Chair Logan sensed that the City Council Members are focused on the Harbor
and asked Ms. Cassidy for information on upcoming Harbor projects and the
issues involved.
Ms. Cassidy stated that staff would be happy to present an overview of Harbor
issues in the near future.
2. FIRE DEPARTMENT MATTERS – Scott Poster, Fire Chief
Fire Chief Scott Poster provided an update of Fire Operations, including the
escalation of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) call volume; preparation for
various exams, including the Lifeguard Captain exam; testing for Fire
Paramedics; and a Fire Captain's test. He announced the receipt of a Tractor-
Drawn Aerial (TDA), which should be in service within a month. Additionally, he
reported the completion of joint CPR training with lifeguards.

Chief Poster reported on the recent 7th Annual CERT Banquet Dinner, which
recognized some of the CERT participants, including CERT Volunteer of the
Year, CERT Neighborhood of the Year, Spirit of CERT award, the Emergency
Communications CERT Volunteer of the Year, and CERT Instructor of the Year.
He reported that additional CERT classes are being held with increased
involvement by the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Poster announced that on March 8, the newly-remodeled Lifeguard
Headquarters will be dedicated in honor of fallen Lifeguard Ben Carlson. More
information will be provided regarding the event. Also on March 8, Lifeguard
tryouts will be conducted.
He commented on the upcoming implementation of a pilot program that will
decompress the hospital emergency department by transporting less-critical
patients to an Urgent Care Center rather than the hospital.
In reply to Board Member Herdman's inquiry, Chief Poster reported that Doak
Hefner received the Spirit of CERT award.
3. POLICE DEPARTMENT MATTERS – Police Sergeant Mark Hamilton
Police Chief Johnson addressed the decrease in crime over the last year,
commented on the resolution of a recent lawsuit and announced that Sergeant
Hamilton would present the Police Department Matters report.
Police Sergeant Hamilton provided an update of Police Department matters
including current testing activities, background in process for Police Laterals and
Recruits, Custody Officer interviews, the promotion of two cadets, and the Police
Appreciation Breakfast on March 12, at 7:30 AM, at the Hyatt Regency Newport,
hosted by the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce. Sgt. Hamilton invited
Board Members to attend a Police Academy Graduation ceremony March 24, at
6:00 PM, at the Orange County Sheriff's Academy.
Additionally, Police Sergeant Hamilton presented two videos of Police-training
techniques. They are in the process of finalizing two more videos, one providing
an overview of the hiring process and providing basic recruiting information.
