CITY OF FAIRHOPE
Personnel Board Meeting
7 :00 AM -December 4, 2019
161 N Section Street
Fairhope, AL 36532
Present were:
Members : Diane Thomas, Rob Stankoski, Jake O'Neil and John Manelos; Leslie Green, HR
Manager, and Teri Howard, Human Resources Coord i nator.
The meeting was called to order at 7 :00 AM .
Minutes of the September 5, 2019 meeting were approved as presented.
The only item on the agenda for discussion was the City of Fairhope's safety program. Ron
Hayes , former Personnel Board member, spoke at length about the lack of a consistent citywide
safety program and the failure to make progress in any area of safety since his poor health
prevented him from continuing his safety consulting work with the City. Ron was particularly
critical of the City's failure to h i re a fulltime safety coordinator who would be responsible for
assessing safety issues in the City and developing a plan of remedial action .
The Board then discussed the Safety manual that Ron wrote for the City. It was the consensus
of the members present that recommending the adoption of this safety manual or any safety
policy was beyond the expertise or authority of the Board . Rob Stankoski pointed out the City
may have legal issues if a safety manual is adopted and then is not enforced.
Diane Thomas suggested that she write a summary of the Board's recommendat ions on a
safety, circulate it by email to members for additions and/or corrections, and then send it to
the Mayor and Council Members. The Board approved this plan. And a copy of the summary
will be attached to these minutes .
At 8 :05 AM a motion was made and seconded to adjourn .
Respectfully Submitted,
John Manelos
Secretary, Personnel Board
