MISCELLANEOUS
Councilwoman Crigger stated some time ago the subject of upgrading
fue City Clerk position was discussed, to this time nothing has
been done about it.
3 .
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.
Mayor Armstrong stated that Mrs. Kinsey was offered $50.00 per
month to stay, she refused it. Mr. Fisher was agreeable to accept
the position at her present pay with the $50.00 increase in 90 days.
Councilwoman Crigger duly made a motion instructing the City
Attorney to draw an Ordinance increasing the pay of the City Clerk
position to $800.00 per month, being seconded by Councilman Clinton,
with Mayor Armstrong voting no. Upon roll call vote said motion CARRIED.
Councilman Severance stated his question now is will Mrs. Kinsey stay?
Mrs. Kinsey answered that she would stay a little while longer.
Mayor Armstron~ announced that the people from Permuitt Co. will
be here on Wednesday to start the work on the Water Plant filter
system.
Councilman Clinton briefly explained to the audience about his
keepin~ a pony at his house for the purpose of doctoring it.
Councilman Bevel asked what could be done about the junk cars at
Juniper and 30th Street, I would like the council to direct the
Chief of Police to check this problem out.
Chief Katez informed Councilman Bevel that Sgt. McCall had
investigated this complaint and all the cars in question have
current tags.
AD,TOUR OR RECESS
Councilman Bevel duly made a motion to adjourn this meeting being
seconded by Councilman Clinton. Upon roll call vote said motion
