12. ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON NEXT AGENDA <br />The Chair tossed out the following possibilities: <br />- Getting input from the Board of Realtors (Ms. Wong had mentioned it). <br />- Invite someone from Human Resources to speak on personnel matters, such as <br />restraints in dealing with the unions; negotiation of union contracts; the ability to <br />implement flex hours; how overtime works; combining personnel or moving positions <br />from one department to another; who is covered by union contracts; how contracts are <br />negotiated and their time periods. <br />report. <br />- Review the secretary's summary of proposed recommendations for the draft <br />- Consolidating certain boards and commissions. <br />Ms. Wong was interested in the audits of various departments. She wanted to know how <br />the departments are addressing that. Ms. Garson explained that once an audit is done, <br />recommendations to the subject department are made. The department has a time in which to <br />respond to the draft audit. Once the final comes out, the department has a year to respond as to <br />what they've done with the recommendations. <br />Regarding boards and commissions, Ms. O'Hara suggested that Bill Takaba would be the <br />best to speak on them, so the Chair asked to make sure that he is present. <br />They discussed whether they should solicit input from the Police Department on having <br />the proposed Compliance Office come under it. It was decided that when their first draft report <br />comes out and is sent to all departments, the Police Department will be invited to respond, along <br />with the other departments receiving recommendations. <br />If any of the COGC members think of other items they want on the agenda, they need to <br />contact the secretary to have them agendized. Ms. Garson explained that agendas need to be <br />specific enough for the public to know what is being discussed. Proposed recommendations <br />need to be specifically agendized before they can be discussed. <br />Ms. Garson said it would be helpful to clearly articulate during a meeting what <br />recommendations they want to put forward, rather than just discussing and suggesting. <br />Ms. O'Hara said she would like an agenda item to discuss what recommendations to <br />move forward. <br />The Chair summarized the items for the next agenda: <br />- review summary of recommendations compiled by the secretary <br />- discussion of recommendations to move forward <br />- interview someone from Human Resources <br />- boards and commissions <br />29 <br />
