WORKSHOP MEETING
REGULAR MEETING HELD
JULY 25, 1974
The Regular meeting of the Workshop was called to order by Mayor David
C. Severance at 7:30 P.M. July 25, 1974 in the COMmunity Center.
Mayor Severance stated that the first thing that the Council would do
would be to go over the Merit pay Board recommendation for the budget
of 1974-75. We have all had a chance to study over the recommendations.
He opened it up to any questions that the council might have in regards
to any particular job classification or individual. It is the Councils
responsibility and not the Merit Boards to set the wagers for Department
Heads, so that is something that the Council will have to discuss.
Councilman Bevel had some question on the Seargentspay. Mayor Severance
recommended that we i11iminate the potition of Seargent completely. Then
reclassify the Seargent as a Lieutenent in classification "C" which will
bring him to $4.68 which is above that of the patrolman. This is strictly
based on what the Cheif has recommended and requested a Lieutenents position
Mayor Severance stated that we should go back to the Chief and have him
tell us in writing if this is what he wants and who does he want to
be Lieutenent.
Mayor Severance explained to the Council that "A" is starting salary,
"B" is 6 months automatic, "C" is one year automatic. From there on
it is merit. The Council discussed the recommendations in full.
The Council then discussed the Department Heads. Mayor Severance stated
that if the City hires a City Manager then there will have to be alterations
as to the increase in the Personnel Officer. The recommendation for
Personnel Officer is at the "C" 1etel which is $5.56 and hour. It would
be up to the Council wether she would go to "0" or that they would reclass-
ify her, take a pay cut or what, it would depend upon the responsibilities
of the City Manager.
The Council then discussed the Water & Sewer Department Heads. They
are both recommended at "C" level, one year level, which is $3.86.
The Forman of the Street Department was also put on the "C" 1ev.1 which
is $4.36. The Council had no questions on this department head.
In the Police Department the Head is listed at the "C" level, which is
$4.81. The Council discussed this department in full. The Council
decided that the Chief should be put on the "0" level at $5.05.
Mayor Severance explained that he was going to hand the Merit Board
recommendations over to the City Clerk and she will see to it that it
gets to the City Attorney for the proper legal action to be taken.
Mayor Severance stated that for the benifit of the People here tonight
we will read through the different categories and the individuals and
how much they will be making when this is enacted basesd a 40 hours
week. Mayor Severance then read the recommendations.
Mayor Severance suggested that they move on to the proposed budget.
He said that there were some reductions and some increases. The total
figure appropiated 1973-74 for General Government was $120,453.00 and
the proposed new budget is $126,587.00, increased $6,100.00 roughly.
