advised if the motion carries, it will start as of today.
Councilwoman Bennington stated that this is the first time she was aware
that this group had a definite need, that EAA is no longer capable of
doing this. She feels the entire situation has not been handled properly.
It has not gone through the proper channels nor been presented to the
Council right. This is her objection to the whole thing. She is 100%
for recreation, she se~there is a definite need for this. She under-
stands that if this goes through, it is temporary and at the end of the
fiscal year and there is a need for a full-time Recreation Director,
it is advertised, Mr. Norman will be considered - he will not be
grandfathered into this position - it will be advertised and the proper
procedures carried out to fill the position. She also objected very
strongly to the political pressures being put on this appointment.
