Following is a summary of the statements made by all members of the Council. Councilman Bebbington: Right now, after nearly one year in office, conditions warrant a full time supervisor' ;whether you call him a City Manager or Administrator it doesn't make any difference. We have a drag1ine we spent $1000 on. Now it has broken down and we could spend $1000 on it again. We have repairs to make in the Water Plant and repairs on the Dump Truck. All this is a matter of maintenance. I feel if we had somebody that is the boss and could coordinate all the work and what each department is doing he would more than earn his ~lary. Councilman Walls: If you had asked me nine months ago I would have been against a City Manager. At the time I really was. After about three months in office I began to change my mind, I would have originally said we were too small and there would not be enough to keep him busy. I think when this Council went into office they were a good working council. But they are not managers. We have four departments - Wa~r, Sewer, General Government and Police. You could also include the Bui1dinq Official. They should all merge and coadinate their eft~orts. The Council should not have to do this. They are a policy making body and not a boss of the bosses. No one at present time coordinates them. A manager is not needed to save money and not needed to sell the City although these could be secondary matters. He is needed to supervise the departments and prevent time from being wasted. Edgewater is a small City but it is going to grow. We could hire a manager at a reasonable salary. Councilman Cairnie: I am opposed to a City Manager. We can't hire one for the amount of money we want to pay and be able to keep him. The City does need a supervisor of Public Works. The Police Department and City Hall do not need a manager. Acting Mayor Lodico: Councilman Bebbington and I are down at the City Hall most of the day. Mr. Bebbington has 18 court cases Wednesday. Ther.e are definitely times when a boss is needed at City Hall. We have troubles in all departments. Somebody has to know what should be done. I bet we could spend $50,000 to get all our equipment up to date. We have outgrown ourselves. There being no further business, motion duly made by Councilman Bebbington we now adjourn, seconded by Councilman Walls and there were no objections.
