there is a great difference of opinion in the choice of a permane~
Fire Chief of this City. Our citizens are divided as to choice,
also the Fire Department and City Council. Therefore, I wish to
go on record that the honest way is to have a Civil Service
examination and to choose one of the top three applicants for this
important Dost." Mayor Smith questioned City Attorney Colwell on
the legality of appointment without an examination and Mt. Colwell
stated that the Civil Service Ordinance contradicts itself and
believed the examination should be given but that the merit system
might not be intended to apply to the Fire Chief's position and th~
appointment might be made without examination. Trustee Chandler
stated that he was opposed to the appointment without examination
and he would agree to the appointment by the Council if the Council
could also dismiss the appointee at any time by the same procedure
Mayor Smith stated that a written opinion had been given by the
City Attorney placing the issue in doubt and he felt he could not
approve the app~intment until the question of legality is settled.

Chairman of the Board read his opinion relative appointment of
Fire Chief, as follows:
The appointment of a Fire Chief in a rapidly growing City
like Santa Ana is too important a decision to be kicked around
like a political foot-ball.
I deeply regret that since our ~ st COuncil Meeting the real
issue at stake, which is that of securing the best qualified man
possible for the position, has been bogged down beneath pressure
politics and personal grudges. Slighting remarks have been aime~
at our City Attorney, John Colwell, who has been conscientiously
endeavoring to give a fair interpretation of a rather ambiguous
civil service law.. Petitions have been circulated and telephone
campaigns staged by certain pressure ~roups. It is imperative
for the good of Santa Ana that we ~ep clear of petty politics
and personalities.
The Chief of the Fire Department is not selected annually like
the President of a service club, nor elected every four years like
the Councilmen, Police Chief, City Clerk, City Attorney or the
City Treasurer, but is a permanent appointee. Thus he may
continue in office while the City grows from $0,000 to lO0,O00
people. For, once appointed, the Chief assumes civil service
standing accor~ng to the rules voted by the people of Santa Aha.
It makes no difference whether he is appointed outright by the
Uouncil from among all the employees in the Fire Department or
whether he is appointed from among the highest three candidates
to pass a competitive civil service examination. The result is
the same in both cases; he cannot be removed after his probationa~
six months are passed excepting through complicated civil service
channels.
Since there are in our City Fire Department many men of fine
qualifications from the Acting Chief down through the lower ran~
and since the Chief willcome under Civil Service anyway~ it seems
to me that there can be no Just criticism by using the Civil
Service method of appointing the department head. The examinati.
consists of an impartial comprehensive written test, together wit~
an oral one by qualified fire experts from outside this district.
After much thought and deliberation, acting absolutely without
political motives and in the b~st interests of the City of Santa
Ana, I therefore vote for a civil service examination to be held
as soon as possible for the position of Fire Chief.
Mayor Smith voted "No" on the motion and the same was lost.
On motion of Trustee Chandler, seconded by Cheney and carried,
Civil Service Board wa~ instructed to call an examination for
position of Fire Chief, to be held as soon as possible.
