Council Minutes of 7/6/93 Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Tomorrow a preliminary injunction hearing will be held concerning the AFSCME case. This case imrolves a union grievances dealing with the Civil Service provisions that require the testing of position within 60 days after a provisional appointment has been made. We have sub~i.tted a five page document with respect to stipulations, anti aver 100 pages of dc~cue~nts have been submitted as stipulateri doe rents. A motion in limine has been prepar+~d and will be filed tomorrow. ~.s i.s an important case for all (7hio cities because it will protect a city's right to utilize a Civil Service system in original appointments versus the union's position that the union contract takes precedence over Civil Service. 2) The appeal that had been filed in the Dorsey case, where a young man had fallen an a delineator stake, ties been dismissed. That case is now concluded, and the city is not responsible for the personal injury claim. 3) The enterprise zoo agreement for Money Access Service Corp. has been prepared. 4) With respect to the civil rights lawsuit, we have filed for an extension of time to prepare the city's answer.
