WICHITA NATIONAL BANK BUILDING
WICHiTA FALLS, TEXAS
May 14., 1956
Hon. K. 0. Spell, Mayor
and
Members of the City Council
Wichita Falls, Texas
Gentlemen:
My services as an attorney have been engaged by
the following employees of the City of Wichita Falls:
Name Date of Length of Service
Employment
Betty Carver 10-3-55 7 months
Kate Collier 10-5-53 2 yrs., 7 months
Kathleen Cox 2-12-51 5 yrs. , 3 months
Vallie Fouts 3-14-55 1 yr., 2 months
Betty Harmon 3-25-55 1 yr, 1/2 month
Kay Peterson 10-10-49 6 yrs,, 7 months
Adrienne Ritchie 7-5-54 1 yr., 10 months
Lorene Tate 10-25-51 4 yrs. , 7 months
Darlene Zech 5-6-55 1 year
My employment is for the purpose of presenting this request
to you and to have each of said employees classified as a police-
woman and to receive the same rate of pay as patrolmen, in-
cluding all increases in pay--and, further, that they be
granted, and paid.. the difference in pay that they have re-
ceived and the pay that patrolmen have received,
Each of these employees has been employed in the
actual service of the City of Wichita Falls as a member of
the police department for more than six months prior to this
presentation. The date of employment and the length of ser-
vice is set out beside each employee' s name.
Section 2 of the Civil Service Act of Texas provides
that, "By the term 'policeman' is meant a member of the police
department who draws compensation for his services as a member
of said department." By this legislative definition each of
these employees is a policeman and, as such, and also by the
terms of the act, she is entitled to civil service classifica-
tion.
Each of these employees has served the full proba-
tionary period of six months or longer; Section 12 of Article
#2
Hon. K. C. Spell, Mayor and
Members of the City Council Wichita Falls$ Texas
1269m (Civil Service Act), Revised Civil Statutes of Texas.,
provides that, "When firemen or policeman, however, have
served the full probationary period, they shall automatically
become full-fledged civil service employees, shall have full
civil service protection, the regularity of their appointment
shall be presumed * ir * -,,. * -,.,
Section 1 of Section 1583-2 of the Penal Code of
Texas provides the minimum wage for civil service employees,
members of the police department and for the method of increas-
ing such minimum wage. The City of Wichita Falls, by virtue
of action of the City Council and by elections duly called
under the provisions of Section 1583-2, has established a
minimum wage of the members of the police department.
In the case styled the City of San Antonio, et al,
Appellants, vs Mrs. Cordie Hahn, et al, Appellees, decision
rendered by the Court of Civil Appeals$ Austin$ Texas, cited
in 274 SW (2) 162., this question here involved was decided.
In this opinion Mrs. Cordie Hahn, a switchboard operator with
the police department of San Antonio, and seven other employees
in various capacities with the police department of the City
of San Antonio,, were declared to be policemen, members of the
police department, and were entitled to be classified as civil
service employees and to have the full protection of that law,
and, further, they were entitled to the provisions of the min-
imum wage law and to be paid the difference between what they
had received and what they should have received under such
minimum wage law. The Supreme Court of Texas refused to review
the findings in this decision holding that there was no revers-
able error in the opinion. It is clearly in point with the
situation presented here.
Therefores respectfully, on behalf of those members
of the city police department herein named, I submit this ap-
plication to you gentlemen for your consideration and immedi-
ate action.
Respectfully submitted,
S

TO: MEMBERS OF THE CITY COt'INCIL OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS and
POLICEIKENIS AND F1RE,,M`E7,0S CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIOTNT OF
I
,VICi-JTA FALLS, TEXAS
The Policemen's and Firemen's Civil Service Commission
has notified C. C . Daniel., head of the Police Department
and E. C. White, head of the Fire Department of Wichita Falls ,
Texas, that certain employees of their departments do not
meet the physical requirer'n' ents set up by the Policemen's and
Firemen's Civil Service Cow-mission.
As a result of a directive from the Policemen's and
Firemen 's Civil Service Commission of Wichita Falls, Texas,
the department heads were ordered to terminate the services
of the men involved, and these men have been notified that
their employment with the departments will be terminated
May 31, 1956 .
In an inter-office communication dated February 13,
19563, H. A. Thomason, City Manager of Wichita Falls,
Texas, recommended that none of these involved city em-
ployees be discharged and used the following language:
"It is my recommendation, therefore, t'h.at we continue
our physical examinations annually as required and
that each of them be studied and the personnel be
classified to meet the qualifications as shown by
such examination. Also that you allow me to keep
each of the men in question in the employ of the City
until they are permanently disabled or reach the age
of '05. 1 think I can ass�ure you that the efficient
operation of these two departments will not be affected
by retaininp, these employees ."
In addition to the aboveY I do not believe that the
Policemen 's and Firemen's Civil Service Commission of
Wichita Falls, Texas, has authority to order the discharge
or removal of any of the involved policemen or firemen.
Section 5 of Article 1269m., Volume 2A of the Civil
Statutes of Texas provides that "Such rules and regulations
shall prescribe what shall constitute cause for removal
or suspension of firemen or policemen, but no rule for
the removal or suspension of such emplo7_ees_sh_a_Mb_e valid
unless it involves one or more of the following, grounds:
1. Conviction of a felony or other crime involving
moral turpitude;
2. Vi6lations of the provisions of the charter of
said city;
3. Acts of incompetency;
4. Neglect of duty;
5. Discourtesy by said employee to the public or
to fellow employees while said employee is in
line of duty;
6. Acts of said employee showing a lack of good
moral character;
7 . Drinking of intoxicants while on duty, or in-
toxication while off duty;
8. Or whose conduct was prejudicial to good order;
9. Refusal or neglect to pay just debts;
10. Absence without leave;
11. Shirking duty, or cowardice at fires;
12. Violation of anv of the rules and regulations of
the Fire Depart;ent or Police Department or of
special. orders, as applicable ."
The Policemen's and Firemen's Civil Service Commission
of Wichita Falls, Texas, did adopt a rule known as Section
114a, which provides that after physical examination if any
employee is found unqualified "for the performance of the
duties of their position".. they may be terminated from
the classified service.
The medical reports on the employees involved do not
find that they are unable to perform the duties of their
present assignments, but that they are unable to do arduous
work. Therefore, the medical reports upon which these men
are to be discharged do not even comply with the local rule
114a mentioned above.
Rule 114a, furthermore, does not comply with the re-
ouirements of the Policemen's and Fire-man's Civil Service
Statute, Section 5, mentioned above,, in that it exceeds
the powers granted the Civil Service Commission under
that Statute; and therefore, in my opinion this local
rule 114a is without force and effect .
1 do not believe that the Policemen's and Firemen 's
Civil Service Commission has authority to initiate any
action for the discharge or removal of employees, and
their attempt to do so' 'in this case is without authority.
it is my opinion that any action of this type should be-
gin with the department heads and not with the Policemen 's
and Firemen's Civil Service Commission.
For the reasons above stated I oppose the attempted
discharge of these employees .
