MEMORANDUM
To: Santa Ana City Council Date: July 18, 2023
From: City of Santa Ana Personnel Board
Subject: Personnel Board Responsibilities and Board Appointments The intent of this memo is to inform the City Council of the responsibilities of the City of Santa Ana Personnel Board (“Board” or “Personnel Board”) and how Board appointments may affect its execution of those responsibilities.

Description of Board:

The City of Santa Ana Personnel Board is established by the City of Santa Ana Charter and Municipal Code. One of the Board's principal duties is to provide a final administrative review of disciplinary matters involving permanent employees of the City of Santa Ana who have been demoted, suspended, or dismissed/terminated from employment . The Board's appellate review is a full evidentiary hearing wherein the Board applies its independent judgment to the law, facts, and arguments presented in each case.

Membership and Appointments:

The Personnel Board consists of seven (7) members appointed by the City Council.

Like other boards and commissions, the term of a Board Member is the same as their appointing Councilmember. Upon election, a Councilmember appoints a Board Member and may re-appoint a current Board Member whose term has expired (subject to term limits specified in the Municipal Code).

Board Appeal Process Affected by Membership Change:

The Board’s Rules require that a majority of the same Board members hear and deliberate on all of the same issues in an appeal. Therefore, if a Board Member misses a portion of a disciplinary hearing, they are not allowed to continue with the hearing. Likewise, if a new Board Member joins the Personnel Board while a hearing is in process, they may not participate in the current proceedings. Further, a majority or quorum must be maintained among the Board Members for a hearing to properly conclude.

If a quorum is not met, the case must begin anew with at least four (4) Board Members. Appeal hearings are lengthy and costly to the City and to the

City Council

4888-0556-2728 v1
employee/appellant. The Board wishes to avoid not meeting a quorum and restarting a case if possible. Timely appointments assist in meeting a quorum.

Sample Timeline of an Appeal to the Personnel Board:

Personnel Board Status of Appeals:

The duration of individual hearings vary. On average, hearings take at a minimum twenty to twenty-five (20-25) calendar days to conclude, however the average case takes six (6) to ten (10) months. These proceedings include pre-hearing procedures, the evidentiary hearing, and Board deliberation and decision proceedings. Hearings are conducted in the evenings and require the coordination of many schedules due to the large number of individuals involved, including the employee/appellant and their representative(s), the City representative(s), City staff, the seven (7) Board members, Board counsel, witnesses, and a court reporter.

Approval of Memorandum:

During its regular meeting held on June 13, 2023, the Personnel Board voted to approve this memorandum and submit it to City Council.

On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Police Oversight Commission (“Commission”). The purpose of the Police Oversight Commission is to improve transparency, increase the accountability of and public confidence in the Santa Ana Police Department, and to provide for an Independent Oversight Director. The purpose of the Commission is to act through the Independent Oversight Director to provide the Chief of Police, City Manager, and City Council independent investigations of, analysis, and recommendations on police practices, police misconduct, officer-involved shootings, and other serious uses of force.

On January 17, 2023, staff presented an informational report to the City Council with an anticipated timeline for implementing the Commission, along with options for engaging an Independent Oversight Director. Since that time, staff has begun working on implementation tasks. Below is information about the Commission, commissioner appointments, information about the Independent Oversight Director role, and a status update on the implementation tasks.
