The meeting was temporarily delayed due to a malfunction of the recording equipment. He stated the items on the agenda were: trash incin- erator; John Gross request re: Gabordy Canal; advertising and hiring procedures for Police Chief's position; and review pending matters with City Attorney Jose' Alvarez. ROLL CALL Mayor Earl Baugh Councilman Louis Rotundo Councilman Russell Prater Councilman Neil Asting Present Present Present Present Councilman James Inman City Attorney Jose'Alvarez City Clerk Connie Kinsey Sergeant William Lenz Present Present Present Excused Also present were Mr. Earl Copeland, Superintendent, and Mr. Mike TenneYI Supervisor, of the Public Works Department, Mr. Wolfgang Kutrieb, President, and Mr. John Kurschner, Assistant to the President of the Kutrieb Corporation, and Mr. John Gross. Councilman Asting moved to recess the Special Meeting and go into the Work- shop. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Trash incinerator was the first item to be discussed. Mr. Kutrieb stated that he's the inventor and builder for this incinerator. He displayed slides of an air curtain destructer and stated that smoke and odor are absent. He noted that steel frames have to be installed with tiles on the steel support frames and the combustion chambers are designed to last for years. He stated that if they have to replace a tile due to accidental damage it's a simple matter of removing the damaged tile and replacing it with a new one. He added that a dual chamber system can be ordered for extra burning. He pointed out that the U.S. Forestry Service conducted tests on equipment of this type and the results were that unwanted wood waste can be disposed of at minimum cost by controlled incineration. He stated that the system is powered electrically and costs about $1.50 an hour, excluding labor. He said the air handler unit can be purchased separately if desired but most states require it be used with a combustion chamber. He pointed out that with large amounts of wood and tree clippings there's about a 95% reduction rate. He stated that he has a list of different city governments that have both these units. Councilman Inman asked the ignition source and Mr. Kutrieb said it's usually fuel oil but that gives some smoke when it's started and some have gone to LP gas torch which works cleaner. He noted that the unit doesn't have any source of fuel for even burning but with any material that's combustible they need some kind of fuel and proper amount of air and this unit burns clean because they utilize the heat generated in the unit. Councilman Inman pointed out that they need fuel, oxygen and heat to create a fire so there's fuel in the pit and Mr. Kutrieb agreed. Mayor Baugh stated that the trees would be the fuel source. Councilman Inman reviewed the process for replacing the tiles when they're damaged. Mr. Copeland asked if they can burn tires and Mr. Kutrieb said DER won't permit it. Councilman Asting noted that their biggest problem is getting rid of wood trash. Mr. Kutrieb stated that's what the unit is designed for. Councilman Prater noted that the operation is 100% manual and asked if an operator has be there whenever it's in use. Mr. Kutrieb replied yes. Councilman Prater said he noticed that the valve has to be regulated as to the type of burning. Councilman Rotundo asked the life expectancy of the air handler on top and Mr. Kutrieb replied that in Illinois they have some units that have been in operation for twelve years. o o Trash incinerator (Continued) Mr. Kutrieb pointed out that it's made out of 11 gauge steel. Councilman Prater asked if the body is stainless steel and Mr. Kutrieb replied that it's carbon steel. Councilman Prater asked about the burning nozzles and Mr. Kutrieb said it's steel and all one piece. Councilman Asting pointed out that Mr. Copeland and Mr. Tenney looked at the unit in Indian River County and were very impressed with it. Mr. Kutrieb compared the unit to a fireplace and noted that the operators should be trained by their factory personnel. Councilman Asting asked about installation and instructions to personnel if they decide to purchase a unit and Mr. Kutrieb said any kind of installation or training could be done but the unit comes with instructions. Mr. Kutrieb again stated they could buy the parts or unit independently or can arrange to have it installed and bill the City. Mr. Kurschner pointed out that the erection involves pouring a footer and they provide drawings on how it's to be done. Councilman Asting asked if the steel grids are attached to the walls and Mr. Kurschner said the frames are positioned and it's just a matter of following the instructions. Councilman Asting asked the size of the tiles and Mr. Kurschner said they're one square foot and about 60 pounds each. Councilman Inman questioned the anticipated down time and Mr. Kurschner said it would be just long enough to replace the motor and it's 30 horsepower. Councilman Asting asked Mr. Copeland how many times a week he'd be operating the incinerator and Mr. Copeland replied that he doesn't think it would be more than once a week. Councilman Asting asked the amount of trash weekly and Mr. Copeland said it's about 1,000 yards a month. Mr. Kutrieb pointed out that they have to feed it at a slow rate to keep it from overheating. Councilman Prater questioned the amount of ash coming out at the top and Mr. Kutrieb said it's a little bit if it's a light material because it's designed for wood. Councilman Prater noted they could arrange the materials to put the lighter materials on the bottom and Mr. Kutrieb agreed. Councilman Asting noted that the temperature ranges from about 1,0000 at the top down to 1500 at the bottom and Mr. Kutrieb said it depends on the materials and the temperatures will change. Mr. Kutrieb noted that with a large stump and other materials the stump will burn completely and will be a powder ash. Councilman Asting pointed out that there's a door for cleaning purposes. Mr. John Gross asked the cost for the employees when it's not in operation. Mr. Kutrieb said they try to train 3 or 4 people and the machine is not difficult to operate plus they have instructions. Mr. Walter Gross asked if the unit could run on 220 DC and Mr. Kutrieb replied it's 3 phase for the entire unit and it could be run on 440 volt. Mr. Gross pointed out they'd have to install the service to run the unit and he asked how much land is needed to load and unload and install the unit. Mr. Kutrieb replied that it's less than an acre but some locations offer a different problem. Councilman Asting asked the dimensions and Mr. Kutrieb said it's 14 foot deep and 9 foot wide and the length is determined by need. Mr. Tom Sheridan asked the life of the refractory and Mr. Kutrieb said based on past experience the oldest was about 10 years but that was operated in another type of climate. Councilman Rotundo asked if they buy a 20 foot unit and then decide to go to a larger unit later if they could expand it with the same equipment. Mr. Kutrieb stated that they can buy it in 5 foot sections, but if they want to expand very much they'll probably want to buy an additional unit. Mr. Copeland pointed out that in Indian River County they get trash from the entire county and it's 20 foot and they don't burn every day. He added that the area for the incinerator is very small. Councilman Asting noted that Mr. Copeland has a location if they purchase it and asked if they should keep tiles on hand and Mr. Kutrieb said they'd advise to have a few on hand. -2- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 I ' u ~ Trash incinerator (Continued) Mr. Frank Roe, 2732 Juniper Drive, asked if any installations have been cited for EPA violations and Mr. Kutrieb replied no, but once he was called and they requested the retraining of an operator but no citations were involved. He noted that the unit has a good safety record and they've never had a problem with OSHA and no knowledge that anyone has got hurt. Mr. Roe asked if they need a license and Mr. Kutrieb said they need one from DER. Councilman Asting asked Mr. Copeland if he'd contacted DER and Mr. Copeland stated that DER had told him about this unit and he already has the permits to pass along to the engineers. Mr. Walter Gross asked if branches can be put in or if it's a special size. Mr. Kutrieb said 9 by 20 foot long can be burned and they don't dump a truck load at one time, just small amounts. Councilman Inman asked the disadvantages of the unit and Mr. Kutrieb said they don't have a starting heating source to avoid all the smoke when it's fired up and until the temperature is raised they'll have light smoke. He added that it also has to be cleaned and ash removed and it's an open type burner and the area has to be fenced in. He pointed out that his company has never had to defend_itself from any allegations regarding this equipment. Mr. John Gross asked if there's a conveyor and Mr. Kutrieb said there's just dirt on the bottom. Mrs. Walter Gross asked the location for the unit and Mr. Copeland replied that it would be at the City's garage and he added that there's very little smoke and with the blower it takes the smoke away. Mr. Kutrieb noted that if it smokes, there's something wrong. Mr. Copeland agreed that overloading it could cause smoke. Councilman Asting asked about the reason for controlling the air curtain and Mr. Kutrieb said that's why they have a damper valve. Mayor Baugh asked the cost on the 20 foot and Mr. Kutrieb said the unit would be $15,500. to include the whole air handler unit and the entire unit with all parts required for operation, including the combustion chamber, and the clean out door, but not freight, would be $51,220. He added that there will be costs for transportation and it will take about three people about four days to erect. Councilman Prater asked the weight of the complete package and Mr. Kutrieb said it will probably be two semi loads and the freight would be about $3,000. Mr. Kurschner pointed out that the electric service would have to be put in also. Mayor Baugh thanked them for coming and advised them that Council will take it under consideration. He call1ed a short recess at 3:00 P.M. Mayor Baugh called the Workshop back in session at 3:15 P.M. John Gross request re: Gabordy canal - Mr. Gross stated that his request is in regard to the boundaries and not to the canal. There was a detailed discussion regarding which letter was intended to be disregarded as Mr. Gross had submitted two different letters. Mr. Gross asked City Attorney Alvarez if he was a part of the resolution to make it a floating canal and he said he talked with Attorney Margaret Brewer and he thought they agreed to a method of solving the problems and the simple method was to vacate or abandon the property north of the Pickett Grant and East of Riverside Drive. He stated that after Attorney Brewer met with City Attorney Alvarez they came back with a resolution to put in a floating boundary. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out that it's been the same boundary for the last 50 years. Mr. Gross stated that it changes every day with the tide coming up. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out that it's been changing for the last 50 or 60 years. Mr. Gross stated that the survey shows a straight line and it couldn't be a straight line along the canal. City Attorney Alvarez said the Charter reads the center line of the canal for the boundary. Mr. Gross stated that it's 3 foot at low tide and 8 foot at high tide and they agreed to that at the meeting of New Smyrna Beach. -3- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 o o John Gross request re: Gabordy canal (Continued) - Councilman Rotundo stated that when the bridge was put in, it was put in by the County and the canal under the bridge was dug out to the river and he asked who gave permission for this digging. City Attorney Alvarez said the County would have to have a plat there. Councilman Asting asked how a small portion of the canal from Riverside to the river would effect a change. City Attorney Alvarez displayed a copy of a sketch showing the bridge and pointed out where the two cities' boundaries are located, per the Charter and the line shown by the surveyor. He said he doesn't know how much high and dry land is involved in the overlap and if they vacate the area and New Smyrna Beach boundary limits go to the Pickett Grant, he doesn't know what access they'd have. He said New Smyrna Beach's City Attorney suggested they enter into a resolution to leave the boundaries as they are and it's not presented a problem yet but John Gross wants to build there and they can agree that Edgewater Codes and Ordinances would apply. He added that to change the boundaries they'll have to go by State Statutes. Councilman Asting noted that Edgewater's Charter says Gabordy Canal and New Smyrna Beach's says Pickett Grant and he asked which is correct. City Attorney Alvarez said it's an overlap in the description but it only covers the small triangle. Mr. Gross pointed out to Council where the canal was in 1849 and said when they put in the inland waterway they filled it in several times and they left the canal going out to the end. He added that it was a straight canal in 1922 and then they dredged it to make it deeper and later it became a dump. He stated that the canal moved 100 feet north from 1922 to today. Councilman Rotundo stated that somebody had to give permission to dig the canal and Mr. Gross said no, the canal was here since 1849. Councilman Prater asked if the canal was changed since the bridge was put in and Mr. Gross said after the bridge was put in it went north. Mr. Gross stated that he's taxed in Edgewater and New Smyrna Beach claims the property and he can get an injunction and it's not a fixed boundary now. Councilman Rotundo asked how he'll move the canal and Mr. Gross said verbally in Jacksonville they told him they could move it and straighten it out from the bridge east. Councilman Asting noted that erosion is involved also and Mr. Gross said it stabilized because of slabs there. Mr. Gross stated that if he moves it, there will be 5 lots in New Smyrna Beach and 5 or 6 lots in Edgewater and a street. He added that the Charter isn't in existence anymore because Edgewater voters voted it down five or six years ago. Mayor Baugh clarified that the amendments to the Charter were what were voted down. City Attorney Alvarez asked how the canal would be prevented from shifting again and Mr. Gross replied that cocquina slabs would be used, and he's giving several feet of wetlands and it would be a 60 foot canal. Mayor Baugh said it will open the lots on the New Smyrna Beach side and City Attorney Alvarez noted the lots will be serviced from New Smyrna Beach and Mr. Gross agreed. City Attorney Alvarez said the project will be in the two city limits and asked why he couldn't leave the boundaries as they are. Mr. Gross said if he doesn't get the canal he'll put a street in. Councilman Asting stated that if he puts the canal in and runs the street, then the City's Charter would still be right. City Attorney Alvarez said it wouldn't change the Charter and would be down the center of the canal, and Mr. Gross wants them to change the Charter to read the Pickett Grant be the center of the boundary. Mr. Gross said they'll have to change it anyway. City Attorney Alvarez said the center is the canal. Mayor Baugh said if they move the canal south, the center will be just about where the Pickett Grant is and the Charter can be changed to read the same as New Smyrna Beach's south boundary. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out to change the Charter is a complex procedure and this Council will have to approve a special refer- endum which is expensive for no apparent public purpose other than to make Mr. Gross's development better. He said he wouldn't do it in their position but if Council could work on it without changing the Charter and Mr. Gross could show with an engineer's decision or technological data that it would shift, then he could put the canal back rather than change the boundary. He added that the next step is that DER will tell him to get the City's approval but the City can't embark on making the change without knowing the feasibility of the project in case he doesn't get the approval. Mr. Gross stated they gave him an indication on four different items and told him verbally he could do it but to try them out he got permits to fill in the canal in front of his daughter's house. -4- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 Q ~ John Gross request re: Gabordy canal (Continued) City Attorney Alvarez said to change the boundary of the municipality is accretion and he doesn't think they can do that in looking at Statute 171.052 which clearly states only those areas that don't meet the criteria for annexation may be proposed for exclusion by municipality governing bodies. He said if evidence is presented to Council, not just from Mr. Gross, but from engineers or hydrologists, that it has shifted 100 feet to the south then they just have to physically move it, at Mr. Gross's expense, and stabilize it so they don't have the problem again in another 60 years. He added that Mr. Gross needs to finalize his position with the agencies and they can say as a matter of intent that the Council has no objection to stabilizing the City's boundary. Mayor Baugh stated that if the canal belongs there then he has to get the information from the agencies as to where it is and asked if they can issue a letter that if he gets these materials and if it's moved and stabilized the Council can go along with it. City Attorney Alvarez said Mr. Gross can get the minutes and they can call him. Mayor Baugh said he can't see why they have overlapping boundaries. City Attorney Alvarez pointed out that overlapping isn't the problem as it's always been there but Mr. Gross wants help to enhance his project and he's going to stabilize the boundary at his expense. Councilman Asting asked about Mosquito Control since they clean the canal and Mr. Gross replied that they're begging him to do it and the people in the neighborhood want it opened up. City Attorney Alvarez stated that Council needs to know the public benefit. Councilman Asting said Mr. Gross should get indications from DER that they have no objections. Councilman Prater said it's provided it has moved. Mayor Baugh agreed he'd have to prove to them that it did move. Mr. Gross displayed a sketch drawn by the Corps of Engineers and said he'd have the front in New Smyrna Beach and the back in Edgewater. Mayor Baugh said the intent of Council is to work with him and providing he gets the proper permits and shows them the canal has shifted and gets permission to move the canal and stabilize it, there shouldn't be a problem. Councilman Asting stated that he'd like to see in the description of where the new canal will be the degrees on a compass so the canal doesn't swing further south. Mr. Gross said he has to have the Pickett line in the middle of the canal to solve his problems. Councilman Asting said he wants to see a line from the bridge. Mayor Baugh noted that the engineering and surveying studies will show that. City Attorney Alvarez suggested that Dan Cory on the survey superimpose where the canal will be stablized. Mr. Gross agreed he'd give them each a survey. City Attorney Alvarez suggested he go through the administration and he'll move faster and not to deviate from what was discussed at this meeting. Mr. Gross said he's arguing with the Corps of Engineers about where the house will be. Mayor Baugh said he can get the minutes from the meeting. Mayor Baugh called a short recess at 4:02 P.M., and called the Workshop back in session at 4:06 P.M. Advertising and hiring procedures for Police Chief's position - City Clerk Kinsey stated the reason the advertisement hadn't been placed in the magazines yet was because Council needs to determine a tentative salary and the deadline date for applications to be accepted. Councilman Asting pointed out that they are just advertising in professional magazines. Mayor Baugh suggested a salary range of $21,000. to $26,000. depending upon experience and education. Councilman Asting suggested $20,000. to $22,500. Mayor Baugh suggested they add to the advertisement after the section requiring high school graduate that it be an Associate's degree in Criminal Justice or a minimum of five years in administrative work, which would eliminate a lot of applications from people who aren't qualified. City Clerk Kinsey pointed out that the job description was adopted and there would be a conflict with the ad and the job description but by motion they could change it. Councilman Asting suggested it be Associate's degree and a mimimum of five years in Police administrative work. -5- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 o o Advertising and hiring procedures for Police Chief's position (Continued) - City Clerk Kinsey noted that April 5th is the deadline for the May issue of the Florida League of Cities Datagram. Mayor Baugh suggested they call Tallahassee to get it in the~e. There was a discussion of the deadline date for applications and Council members agreed to June 1st, which was Councilman Rotundo's suggestion. Review pending items with City Attorney Jose'Alvarez - Mayor Baugh said he asked this be on the agenda as he wanted a status report on the items on the list. City Attorney Alvarez said regarding the Planning and Zoning Board Bylaws, the assignment came when all the boards updated their bylaws and he reviewed them and made a recommendation that all boards be consistent with requiring the majority of members and not just those present. He added that the recommendation was amended on the floor and that assignment is closed. He said the Attorney General issued an opinion last year pertaining to the Board of Adjustments that says they need a majority of membership and he thinks it's just a matter of time until the other boards would have to abide. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the $1,130. to be collected from Charlie Murphy, he discussed that administratively with City Clerk Kinsey and former Mayor Ledbetter and he thinks they should close it out. Councilman Asting pointed out that it will cost them more to collect if they pursue it. City Attorney Alvarez stated that in regard to the conflict with Tom Sheridan that has been ongoing and is closed. City Attorney Alvarez said regarding the damaged tables by Oak Hill, that should be closed because he doesn't think Council wants him to sue the City of Oak Hill over these tables and there's a question of where they were damaged. Councilman Asting stated that they won't loan them again, City Attorney Alvarez noted that Council is aware of the status of the 911 dispatch agreement with Oak Hill. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the Assistant Code Enforcement Officer possible conflict this was handled administratively and he pointed out that sometimes assignments don't reflect the situations. City Clerk Kinsey noted that the City has a letter from Mrs. Irene Beckham regarding this. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the R-4 setbacks, when this was passed it was stated that it should be applicable to existing subdivisions and the decision was made that they would be exempted. He said a letter from the Building Official to Planning and Zoning raised the question about duplexes and single family and the Mayor and Council turned it over to him at that time but no situation has arisen yet that would require addressing this. City Attorney Alvarez stated that in regard to the purchase agreement of the 14 acres there were a series of problems regarding the mineral rights and the sale price was reduced by an amount sufficient to cover that if they want to purchase the mineral rights. He noted there were also problems with the title as the attorney who did the closing of the estate didn't send the tax certificate to Tallahassee, plus when they purchased the property the sellers paid off the mortgage and never recorded it, which showed an open unsatisfied mortgage. He said he's researched it and got the satisfaction of mortgage and they're ready to close, pending the abstract and title insurance. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the Caldwell litigation, the judge ruled a summary judgement and also took off their one claim and they've filed a motion for rehearing but he hasn't ruled on that yet. He added that the case has been taken off the trial calendar. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the Jurgeson case, it was tried and memorandum of law were filed with the judge and it's a legal and factual question, the legal question being that in 1951 Mayor Fuller issued a deed to some individuals for a City Park and they pay taxes on it and feel it's theirs and it's been sold 2 or 3 times and an opinion was requested from the former City Attorney to the Attorney General and he was told the case was valid. -6- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 o u Review pending items with City Attorney Jose' Alvarez (Continued)- City Attorney Alvarez continued his review of the Jurgeson case. He noted that the facts show there was a discrepancy on the date the Mayor went out of office and when the deed was signed. He said the City did a lot of research of this and the Public Works Department has taken care of the property for a number of years and a neighboring property owner came forward and testified and he should be commended for this. City Attorney Alvarez said in regard to the Betts' suit, he has a meeting scheduled for the next morning with a lady who's an attorney in Orlando and they'll litigate jointly and they filed a motion to dismiss and he intends to throw out the individual claims and punitive damages. City Attorney Alvarez said the Montesano appeal is still pending and they're just waiting for a decision. City Attorney Alvarez said he filed an appeal on the Sherry Reed unemployment compensation claim and is waiting for a reply. City Attorney Alvarez noted that in the Caldwell case, the attorney for the plaintiff submitted a proposal for Council to settle and he told them he'll wait for a ruling from the judge. City Attorney Alvarez said he's working on other matters with City Clerk Kinsey which shouldn't require Council action in the immediate future. Councilman Inman asked City Attorney Alvarez if they'll meet the deadline in reference to Mr. Betts and City Attorney Alvarez replied yes and he expects the complaint may be voluntarily amended because there are typos and wrong dates in the complaint. Mayor Baugh noted that he'd requested an attorney general's oplnlon regarding the attorney working for two different cities and City Attorney Alvarez said he contacted the attorney for the Florida League of Cities and about seven other attorneys throughout the State serve different municipalities and he also raised the question with the Florida Municipal Attorneys Association and there was no problem. He added that he contacted the Commission on Ethics also and he's not the only one in the State who's doing this. Councilman Asting moved to go back in the Special Meeting. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. City Attorney Alvarez asked to be excused at this time to go to a meeting. Councilman Asting moved that he be excused. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Trash incinerator - Councilman Asting moved to purchase the incinerator and then withdrew his motion and moved to go out for bids for an incinerator with the Public Works Superintendent drawing up the specifications. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Councilman Inman asked about the money and City Clerk Kinsey said it would have to come from unappropriated fund balance and they'll be doing a budget amendment. Councilman Prater asked if he's referring to the complete package and Councilman Asting replied yes, and it would be similar to the briefing and we'd do the installation of a 20 foot one. Councilman Inman asked if this would affect the paving project and Mayor Baugh replied no. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Mayor Baugh suggested they contact the contractors and possibly New Smyrna Beach and Oak Hill to see if they'd be interested in helping to pay for it. Councilman Asting agreed it's a possibility. Mayor Baugh noted that they might be able to contract with the County also. Councilman Inman said he'd talked to Mr. Copeland and this is much cheaper than hauling it to the landfill because the truck costs $150,000. plus the fees to dump there. There was a discussion about the capabilities of the incinerator. -7- Council Special Meeting & Workshop Minutes March 28, 1985 . . o o John Gross request re: Gabordy canal - Mayor Baugh stated that they deter- mined they would work with him providing he brings facts that the canal has shifted and needs to be stabilized and written proof by hydrologists and engineers and an actual map. Councilman Asting stated that it needs to show so many degrees for the location. Mayor Baugh said it would be a plan from Dan Cory. City Clerk Kinsey noted that it would be proposed stabilization on the canal. Council members agreed with this. Advertising and hiring procedures for Police Chief's position - Mayor Baugh recommended they include "Associate Degree in Criminal Justice" plus "and/or five years of Police administrative experience" with a salary of $20,000. to $22,500. and the ad to run with a deadline of June 1, 1985, for the resumes. Councilman Rotundo asked if a Sergeant had a degree and five years experience if he'd be eligible and Mayor Baugh said yes. City Clerk Kinsey noted that it would need five years administration work and Mayor Baugh clarifed that it would be either/or, and to be advertised in the Florida Police Chiefs and the Datagram. Councilman Inman moved to accept the sample ad, as amended. Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Councilman Inman noted that the Police Department had to terminate a Police officer which leaves them one short and they're going into the platoon system April 1st which won't give them two supervisors on the road as required by the union contract. Mayor Baugh clarified that it's two people on the road. Councilman Inman noted that there are three Sergeants now but one is utilized as the Chief and they'll need two acting supervisors. Mayor Baugh said that should be a recommendation from the Police Department. Councilman Inman said they need two more patrol officers. City Clerk Kinsey pointed out that the resolution only calls for 11 patrol and Councilman Inman suggested they make a change somewhere. Review pending matters with City Attorney Jose' Alvarez - Mayor Baugh stated that he doesn't have anything on this and Councilman Inman moved to accept his report. Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0. Councilman Prater moved to adjourn. Councilman Inman seconded the motion. Meeting was adjourned at 4:47 P.M.
