Report rips . . .
harassment and humiliation of employees,
increase safety violations and a total con-
flict.
Allegations were made that the sanitation department superintendent, Donald Purdy, was promoted "discord among" employees with criticism and arbitrarily changing work rules.
Allegations that city landfill employees received special privileges were raised in the report, which also alleged that the employees received time and one-half pay for one-hour lunch breaks and left work frequently without being docked in pay.
There was testimony alleging racial prejudice in the trial.
prepurchase by some supervisory employees. The report also cited an example of how property could be misappropriated for personal use through loopholes in city purchasing practices: The investigating committee arranged for a truck battery to be taken from the vendor by a person who represented himself within the "purchase" passed through city's purchasing office and the battery was returned by the committee to the vendor.
One sanitation employee, who claimed to have been illegally discharged in 1975, was alleged to have connected the department supervisor with criminal activities.
The employee had said a sanitation supervisor had assaulted a sanitation employee in 1974, leading to a sizable workman's compensation award for the employee. No criminal charges were levied against the supervisor, the report said.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
"Moralie problems are of an extreme nature in sanitation," the report said. "It is apparent that the breakdown in sanitation is economically as well as humanly costly and overwhelming responsibility for failure lies with departmental as well as top management."
The Lawrence Fire Department is by far the largest organization department and has excelled in many areas.
However, the report said discontent was expressed with city management policies involving pay periods, penalization for on-the-job injuries, inadequate insurance, and a low rate of employee evaluations, meritorious service rewards, promotions and manpower.
CITY MANAGER
WATER DEPARTMENT
There was general praise for the chief and assistant fire chief, the report said, and internal problems would be best solved to ensure that all employees and supervisors themselves.
Because few water department employees testified to the committee, there was insufficient evidence on which to base recommendations.
However, the report said the allegation of misappropriations made by a former employee, which allegedly led to his harassment and discharge, were serious enough to warrant investigation of the allegations and possible cover-up.
The city manager, Buford Watson, testified to the full committee for almost three hours, the report said, and gave the impression that he thought the city was well-managed. He thought many improvements had been made in the past eight years by installing a system replacing back steps on sanitation trucks and recent closing of purchasing loochnoles.
The report said the city manager was defensive and supportive of the street department superintendent, despite city officials saying the superintendent lacks leadership abilities
The city manager said the evaluation of city employees was functioning properly, the report said, although the committee found the issue hadn't been evaluated in two years.
CITY TREASURER
"Reviewing the city manager's testimony, our main concern is that the city manager does not seem to take responsibility for irregularities, yet tends to pass the back to employees and lower management and supervisors," the report said.
The city treasurer was interviewed briefly and committee members said they thought he was efficiently performing his duties.
PERSONNEL DIRECTOR
The city personnel director said he has the authority to explain policies to employees but has no authority to enforce policies, the report said.
"It seemed apparent that the personnel director lacks any initiating and endorsing skills."
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS The director of public works said the evaluation system needed improving, the report said.
In support of department supervisors, he said the street department supervisor was promoted to his present job because of several years of service to the city.
He said the sanitation superintendent operated the department effectively until three and one-half years ago, when a "serious incident" caused him to lose control of his department. However, the report said, the city director of public works superintendent was still effective in equipment management and maintenance.
SAFETY DIRECTOR
The safety director reports directly to the assistant city manager and has forwarded safety recommendations, often without receiving a reply, the report said. It is apparent that the safety director has no enforcement powers, the report said.
Police
From nage one
forcement of rules and improved equipment."
THE REPORT DETAILED 10 recommendations at the end of its report on the report
A POLICE PROCEDURE manual setting high professional standards for all areas of law enforcement should be adopted.
Many patrol officers told the committee that, on one occasion, substantial funds budgeted for the department were turned back to the general fund. The report stated this allegation wasn't pursued because of a lack of time.
—The investigative committee doesn't possess the expertise to evaluate the allegations of criminal activity. The fact that so many officers presented such testimony and the seriousness of the charges leaves no other choice but to recommend an investigation by a grand jury or another appropriate body or both. This recommendation should also extend to those allegations of criminal activity in other city departments as indicated in other sections of this report.
—All evidence of alleged criminal activity including committee notes, written statements and any other related papers that were submitted to the committee should be immediately sealed and given to the appropriate investigative authority.
"The police department should develop special units in juvenile and narcotics enforcment."
--The investigative branch of the police department should be strengthened.
Conveniently located parking facilities be made available to all officers at no cost.
—Existing federal and state funded programs for officer training should be so made.
—Because of the stresses involved in police work, free professional counseling services should be made available to any officer who desires them.
Because of the many allegations of favoritism, objective civil-service type criteria should be used as the basis for hiring and upgrading within the department.
- No files should be kept on any city
  offices, including police, unless the
  employee is authorized.

"It was clear from his testimony that the safety director did not want to get embroiled in the current controversy but only wanted to do his job well," the report said.
DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
The report criticized the director of human resources for not fully complying with mandatory action and civil rights guidelines.
The cemetery, the report said, is segregated into sections for white and black graves.
"Testimony did not demonstrate that affirmative action guidelines in employment and elsewhere was being actively enforced in these areas, compliance was virtually nonexistent."
A major area of emphasis considered in the report was a list of procedural problems that it said hampered the effectiveness of the investigation, which included:
- Committee guidelines being set by the mayor rather than through deliberation of the committee.
—No legal assistance in the investigation, which became particularly crucial when allegation of criminal violations were being made.
- No secretarial record or notes or testimony being Kent.
—A policy meeting which was held in the chiclet's office, which violated the air净化器.
