AMES, Ci+y Archi+ec+ 445 City Hall, 55102 223-4212 October 26, 1971 Honorable Mayor and, Members of the Council: Gentlemen: The proposed budget transfer of $83, 840 to the Bureau of Public Buildings for Housing Inspection will be sufficient for six field inspectors (Sanitarians) and one clerk-steno. This transfer of personnel will not be sufficient to carry out the city's commitment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for 1, 100 initial surveys of housing units plus all of the related complaints generated by this activity. In ad.dition, there is no proposed fund, transfer for the required computer time rental, magnetic tape selectric typewriter rental for the program, increased postage and no allowance for capital outlay for furniture and required equipment. It is also imperative that supervisory personnel be assigned, if only on a temporary basis, to familiarize members of this bureau with proced.ures and/or record systems established. and required. to ad.minister this program. Members of this bureau are not familiar with the procedures and records required. by the workable program and the input from present supervisors is a must. It is also apparent that additional office space will be needed. to house the ad.ditional staff and eventually additional items of furniture, equipment, telephones, etc. Very truly yours, Victor J. Tedesco Commissioner VJT/mfs � ' �-� ,s . �_y n� .1.� �) 1 J LAW OFFICES I ,/.� , ROSEN, RAVICH & SUMMERS � V WILLIAM S. ROSEN � PAUL H. RAVICH 630 OSBORN BUILDING . JOSEPH P.

McCarty City of Saint Paul City Hall Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Mayor McCarty: The Professioiial Employees Association has requested that the following policies govern the status of sanitarians now employed in the Bureau of Health, in the event that responsibility for housing code en- forcement is transferred to the Bureau of Public Buildings: (1) That all sanitarians who are now employed by the Bureau of Health continue to be employed by that bureau, or by the Bureau of Public Buildings, and that any sanitarians transferred �o Public Buildings retain their present civil service classificatior�s as Sanitarian I or Sanitarian II, as the case may be. (2) That professional sanitarians who are transferred to the Bureau of Public Buildings be permitted to transfer back to the Bureau of Health as sanitarian vacancies occur in the future. At our meeting in your office on Monday, October 25, 1971 , you indicated that you desire to provide for the transfer of housing code enforce- ment in the budget which is to be adopted Tuesday, October 26, and assured me that the above two policies will be followed if this function is transferred through the adoption of Council File 255665. I advised you that the Professional Employees Association desires to cooperate to the fullest extent in facilitating adoption of a sound city budget, and is not interested in delay merely for the purposes of delay. We have no objection to the adoption of a budget which provides the transfer of responsibility for enforcement of the housing code from the Bure�u Mayor Charles P . McCarty - 2 - October 25, 1971 of Health to the Bureau of Public Buildings , provided the above policies are followed with respect to the rights of present employees of the Azreau of Health. We request that, at the same meeting at which the budget is adopted ; Council File 255665 be raised from the table, and that an amendment in the form attached hereto be inserted, in order to formalize our understanding. As I advised you, I am unable to attend the Council Meeting Tuesday, October 26, 1971 . If it is impossible to proceed in accordance with this understanding, the Professional Employees Association requests that the budget not be amended to provide for the transfer of housing code enforcement� and that we have the opportunity to confer further on the matter before final action is taken. Sincerely, .,�� /'�� :,6`i �� JOSEPH P. SUMMERS JPS:jae Atta chm en t "Section 2 . Employees now holding positions as "Sanitarian I" and "Sanitarian II" in the Department of Public Safety shall be reassigned to the Department of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings in such numbers as the Commissioners of the respective departments deem neces- sary. Any employee so reassigned shall retain in the Department of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings the position classification he held in the Department �f Public Safety and shall not be reduced in grade or salary by reason of the reassignment. If a vacancy occurs in the Department of Public Safety, or its successor, which is required to be filled by a sani- tarian, such position shall first be offered to the sanitarian reassigned to the Department of Parks and Recreation and Public Buildings whose date of initial appointment as a sanitarian is earliest. If he shall accept such position , he shall assume it without further examination and without reduction in grade or salary. If he shall decline such position, it shall be offered to the reassigned sanitarian whose initial date of appointment is next earliest. " I HAVE FELT IN THE PA5T--AND STILL FEEL--THAT $OTli THE HOUSING CODE AND BUILDING CODE SHOZ3I.D BE ADMINISTERED BY THE . BUREAU OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS. HOWEVER, I MITST POINT OUT THAT IN ORDER TO ADMINISTER THE HOUSING CODE IN TAE BUREAU OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE INSERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR ALL PERSONNEL, ALONG WITH SUFFICIENT FUNDS FOR THE ADDED PERSONNEL REQUIRED. THEREFORE, I AM SUGGESTING THAT INASMUCH AS WE HAVE A CITIZENS COMMITTEE WORKING ON THE REORGANIZATION OF CITY GOVERNMENT THAT THIS MATTER BE SUBMITTED TO THIS COMMITTEE, AND SHOULD TAKE EFFECT ON THE DAY THE NEW CHARTER TAKES EFFECT ' IN JUNE OF 1972. THIS, TO ME, SEEMS LIKE A MORE EFFICIENT WAY OF HANDLING THIS MATTER AND IT WILL ALSO GIVE TEiE PEOPLE INVOLVED AN OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE FOR THE CHANGEOVER. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO EI�HASIZE THE NEED FOR THE BUDGET AS WELL AS THE PROGRAM. OBVIOUSLY, WE CANNOT ADMINISTER TEiIS PROGRAM WITHOUT THE NECESSARY FUNDS. VICTOR J.
