I have enjoyed living in Newport Beach for the past 32 years. My wife and I
raised three daughters in this city, taking advantage of the excellent education,
recreation, and community programs offered by the City. I believe that being part
of a community means contributing to its future. As a member of the Civil Service
Board, my experience would be of value.
As a regional manager for the IBM Corporation it was my responsibility to
adjudicate both internal and external misunderstandings. By implementing two key
principles, I feel that any dispute can be resolved. Respect for the individual and
an emphasis on quality of service allow any organization to function at its most
effective. I offer the Civil Service Board an appreciation for detail as well as a
gift for timely response. Situations are best when resolved fairly and quickly.

Richard M. Goul
Civil Service Board Application
As an eight -year Newport Beach resident with three eight- year -old children, I am
interested in serving as a member of the Civil Service Board. I bring to the Board
experience interviewing, hiring, evaluating, investigating, disciplining and terminating
employees as a member of the Cerritos College Board of Trustees (1979 -1985) and St.
John Bosco High School Board of Directors (2002 -). As editor of Homebuycrs Guide
magazine is Newport Beach (1981- 1983), I had similar responsibilities. At the same
time, I am a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney protected by civil service.
This combination of experience on both sides of the table gives me a unique and I would
hope fair and impartial perspective.
Since 20021 have served as a manager during both Spring and Winter ball for
Newport Beach Little League and as a Sunday School teacher at Our Lady Queen of
Angels.
On a broader level, I have served on tine St. John Bosco High School athletics
board of directors since 2002, where I have been directly involved with the screening,
hiring and firing of coaches; allocation of resources for sports; scheduling; releaguing;
maintenance of facilities; and issues of liability.
Elected as a member of the Cerritos Community College Board of Trustees in
1979,1 was reelected in 1983 and served as president before resigning in 1985 to attend
law school. 1 was part of a five - member body responsible for directing educational
policy, making personnel decisions, and approving a budget. T am proud of the fact that
despite a reduction of our budget following the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, we
eliminated no classes and raised no fees on academic courses. We also applied civil
service rules in evaluating employee performance.
A Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney since 1989, I have served as
Deputy In Charge of the Long Beach Branch Sexual Assault/Child and Domestic
Homicide unit since 1998. I supervise five lawyers with responsibilities including
prosecution of child abusers and enforcement of sex offender registration and the
California Criminal DNA Databank. Last year I completed a six -year investigation by
convicting Belmont Shore Rapist Mark Wayne Rathbun, and received the Los Angeles
County Sexual Assault Council Distinguished Service Award.
My experience taught me that a good board member must listen, cooperate,
mediate, and be resolute and decisive. I understand that a Civil Service Board member
must exercise sound judgment in application of civil service rules to Specific factual
situations, and then make recommendations to the City Council which makes the ultimate
decision. T believe my background as an elected trustee, private sector manager, high
school director, and attorney prepare me for service on the Civil Service Board.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

November 8, 2005
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: City Clerk's Office
LaVonne M. Harkless, City Clerk
949 - 644 -3005, Iarkless @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Unscheduled Vacancy on the Civil Service Board
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Declare a vacancy on the Civil Service Board (City Council nominee) due to the
death of Robert Badham on October 20, 2005 (term expires 6130/06);
2. Approve the extension of the term to June 30, 2010 (one full four -year term plus
the remaining balance of the unexpired term);
•1 Confirm the Mayor's appointment of
and to serve on the Ad -Hoc Appointments Committee; and
4. Approve the process to be used for the selection of the replacement (select one
method):
a) Direct the City Clerk to advertise the vacancy pursuant to Council Policy
A -2; OR
b) Forego the advertising and application process and direct the City Clerk to
forward the five (5) applications currently on file to the committee for them
to review and conduct any necessary interviews.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Based on the length of time left on Mr. Badham's unexpired term at the time of his death
and the time required to fill this vacancy, staff is recommending that the term of the new
appointee be extended to June 30, 2010 (one full four -year term plus the remaining
balance of the unexpired term). This is consistent with Council Policy A -2 and the way
i • the Council has handled unscheduled vacancies that have occurred within one year
from the expiration of the term.
Unscheduled Vacancy on Civil Service Board
November 8, 2005
Page 2
•
Based on the fact that the Council concluded the appointment process for scheduled
vacancies less than six (6) months ago, consideration may want to be given to
foregoing the advertisement and application process and appointing from the
applications currently on file in the City Clerk's office. This process would speed up the
process and a replacement for Mr. Badham could be made sooner.
If the Council chooses to use the process outlined in Council Policy A -2, applications
will be accepted by the City Clerk's office until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23,
2005. At the close of the application period, the current applications on file, as well as
any new applications, will be forwarded to the newly- appointed ad -hoc appointments
committee for them to review and conduct any necessary interviews. The three
nominations made by the committee will be forwarded to the full Council for confirmation
on Tuesday, December 13, 2005 with the appointment scheduled for Tuesday, January
10, 2006. Based on the timing for this process, the Board will not be at full membership
until the February 2006 meeting.
If the Council chooses to select the replacement from the applications currently on file,
the applications will be forwarded to the committee on Wednesday, November 9, 2005.
The nominations would be scheduled for confirmation on Tuesday, November 22, 2005
with the appointment to be made on December 13, 2005. This process will result in the •
Board being at full membership prior to their January 2006 meeting. The applications
currently on file are Douglas Coulter (interviewed & nominated- - 6/05), Aiten E. - Doby,-
Albert Graham, Jr., Charles R. Gross (interviewed & nominated 6/05), and Christopher
L. Thomas.
The ad -hoc appointments committee will consist of three council members appointed by
the Mayor. Once the final appointment is made by the City Council, the ad -hoc
appointments committee will be dissolved.
