The first order of business to come before the Board was Step 4 of a Grievance Hearing, filed by Charles Hobbs, Recording Secretary of Local 1586, AFSCME , on behalf of the Maintenance Department personnel objecting to the use of CETA employees in the use of riding lawnmowers. The hearing was conducted by the Hon. W. David Denton, Corporation Counsel, and the Union was represented by Mr. Floyd Keeling, Mr. David Reed, Mr. Charles Hobbs and Mr. Ralph Mitchell. The Union members present refused to testify, decided they would let the written grievance stand as presented, and would offer no further proof. Mr. Jim Tidwell, City Manager, presented sworn testimony on behalf of the City of Paducah, stating the use of CETA employees was standard practice in other depart- ments using temporary and seasonal employees, namely: Cemetery and Parks & Recreation Departments. Whereupon Commissioner Grumley offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Coleman, as follows: "Whereas, a hearing was held on May 8, 1979, pertaining to the above styled grievance, and Whereas, Local 1586, AFSCME , was represented by Mr. Floyd Keeling, Mr. David Reed, Mr. Charles Hobbs and Mr. Ralph Mitchell, and Whereas, the aforesaid Union representatives stated that the Union would stand on the record as submitted and without offering further proof, and Whereas, the City of Paducah presented sworn testimony pertaining to the above styled grievance from City Manager, James C. Tidwell, NOW, THEREFORE, I move that the above styled grievance be denied on the grounds that: 1.
