Q () . Councilman Severance stated his personal feelings were that he had been looking through the Charter pertainin~ to the duties of the City Cler]{, in addition to the numerous Resolutions and Ordinances increasing the work load of this position. We have put the duties to some extent of City Manager on the City Clerk, I feel the duties of the current position in essence is that of the City Manager. Irregardless of who holds the position the pay is peanuts, it should be upgraded. In the event the people elect the City Manager position in the proposed City Charter changes the salary would have to go back to a reasonable one.
