Beth Dyke, president of the local chapter of the Police Benevolent Association, and Officer Mike Crum, president of the local Fraternal Order of Police, expressed concern about the process by which the board is working on the handbook.

"If it's going to affect three departments, then somebody needs to be represented from each department," Dyke told the board.

Dyke said she was aware that the employees could attend the work sessions, but they chose not to, "out of respect to the board, for fear of a controversy."
‘No Basis For Concern'
She said some controversial remarks have been made, and she feels as though the Board of Mayor and Aldermen might try to dissolve the Civil Service Board.
King explained that the Civil Service Board has been working to revise a 30-year-old document and to include all the amendments that have been made to the Civil Service Act.
"It's not something that anyone should be suspicious or concerned about," King told the nine Classified Services employees who attended the meeting.
A draft, King said, has been given to some of the employees in Classified Services, which is the collective name for the police and fire departments and Town Recorder's office - the three departments that will be covered by the Civil Service employee handbook.
