II
laddressed to the Honorable Mayor, the Common Council of the City of Rochester and the

"Honorable Mayor
Common Council
City Attorney
The action of the Mayor in asking the City Attorney to petition the
Courts for writ of Mandamus, to force the Police Civil Service
Commission -to hold examinations for the office of Chief of Police
regardless of their readiness, has of course been noticed by the
members of the Commission. It appears that the Mayor has been so
busy that he has been relying upon misinformation by someone who
knows nothing of what has transpired or what the problems have been
that.the Commission has had to solve during.its tenure of office.
Due to the controversy being waged between the Mayor and City Attorney
it appears that some clarification from the Commission might be in
order, that the record may be kept straight and the citizens be
informed of just what is going on.
This Commission took office during April,*1949, and a few days later.
wasfaced with the findings of the; Supreme Court of the State of.
Minnesota. Affirming the action of the District Court in reversing
the certification of H. W. Fitzpatrick and this decision was broad in
scope, in fact effecting all Civil Service agencies within the state
•
Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., February T. 1949
borders. In fact our State Civil Service was forced by this decision
to make many changes in the Civil Service setup, by this new
interpretation of the Civil Service Laws..
The Courts in their decision, reversed the certification on the grounds
that the examination was not based upon existing records of EFFICIENCY,
CONDUCT, CHARACTER and SENIORITY as well as competition in accordance
with requirements of 419.o6 (9).
Quote from the Supreme Court decision:
The records in question are required to be kept in the regular course of
the administration of civil service. Information obtained or gathered
for the occasion will not suffice. That sort of thing opens the door
to personal favoritism and influence which the law was designed to prevent.
That rule, as we read it, requires a carefully prepared record, made
from month to month, of the services which have been rendered; it
contemplates a record made at -a time when the person is not an active
candidate for an advance, and is to deal with comparative conduct,
seniority and efficiency in previous service. UNQUOTE.
Civil service was established in Rochester Police Dept. in 1931. Many
commissions have served during the years, but few and in some cases no -
records at all were kept of efficiency, conduct or character, and the
new commission was forced to reclassify and set up records and continue
them until such a time as they felt they would satisfy the statutes and
be in accord with the interpretations of the Supreme Court.
The present Commission has taken the State Municipal Civil Service law
and followed it step by step, keeping in mind the interpretation of the
courts; first, classify each position on the Police Department. Setting
up just what each of the twelve positions demanded and creating standards
upon which to base an examination.
Efficiency report rating system was established after investigating many
and varied systems throughout the country. ,
The Civil Service rules which were written in 1931, were entirely revised
and rewritten and now ready for publication.
During this period at the request of the Mayor and Chief of Police an
examination for new Patrolmen was given and new patrolmen were added to
the force, for the protection of Rochester citizens and property.
The Commission has held 36 official meetings during the past S months
in addition to unofficial meeting and meetings where the Common Council
and the Mayor were invited.
To expidite and advance the date for holding examination for Chief of
Police, the services of the Public Administration Service, of Chicago.
Illinois, were secured and exp:erts assisted the Commission in many ways
in setting up a civil service that would be outstanding and a credit to
the City of Rochester.
In view of what transpired following the Chief's examination in 1947 it
would be folly indeed for this commission.to proceed with an examination
until all records were in conformity with the court's decision. Records
made from month.to month of services rendered were what the courts
required and that is just what this commission were making every effort
to give.
The Mayor, knowing that the commission were nearing the point where
examination would be held has thru hisaetion injected into politics a
campaign issue that the Civil Service Law was designed to prevent. Had
the Mayor given the Commission the cooperation it had every right to
expect, undoubtedly the work of the Commission would have been shortened
and the time of the examination would have been advanced.
Members of this Commission have no desire to enter into the controversy
between other city officials, but in all fairness the work of the Commission
has not been deterred or unnecessarily delayed by any actions of theCity
Attorney, on the other hand he has assisted the Commission with legal
advice and securing attorney general opinions when requested by the
Commission.
The Police Civil Service Commission thru several hundred hours of labor has
set up a civil service that conforms with the laws of Minnesota. It has
proceeded to a point where definite results are a matter of course, no action
of the Mayor or any other party could have brought this about at an earlier
date without sacrificing efficiency, or short cutting some of the civil
service requirements. Members of tbie Commission refuse to be a party to
either course.
