positions must remain as two separate jobs, allowing the Affirmative Action Officer to remain autonomous and to provide accountability. Councilmember Beltran analyzed that the proposed salary f or the Affirmative Action Officer is so low the City could not recruit a well established, qualified Affirmative Action Officer. This position's salary needs to be the same level as the Personnel Directorfs salary. Councilmember Beltran informed that Personnel Director Johnson had told the Affirmative Action Task Force Committee that the City Manager had directed that the committee should have no meetings until mid -year budget is discussed. He reminded that it is now February. Motion by Councilmember Cisneros, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to approve and adopt the job description handed out by Councilmember Bennett, with the issue of salary to be discussed at a later time. Councilmember Sandoval spoke against the motion as it is his belief that there are too many managers and department heads and Council should exhibit prudent fiscal responsibility by combining the positions as the City cannot support both positions. Councilmember Bennett emphasized that the Affirmative Action officer position needs to be separated from the direction of the City Manager. Having attended a recent seminar, Councilmember Bennett said she learned that to have an effective affirmative action program you cannot combine the positions of Personnel Officer and Affirmative Action Officer. After roll call, the above motion to adopt the job description submitted by Councilmember Bennett passed with Councilmembers Sandoval and Cook and Mayor Gonzales voting "No." Item No. 6 Councilmember Beltran inquired of Water Utilities Manager Lavin if he had not addressed this matter at a previous meeting. Manager Lavin informed that it was a different one. The City is required under State law to inspect and repair wells every two years and this is in compliance thereto. Motion by Councilmember Beltran, seconded by Councilmember Rios, to approve Staff Is recommendation and adopt Resolution No. R-20-94. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. R-20-94 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZING THE REPAIR OF WELL #16. MAYOR & COUNCIL ITEMS 5 FEB 15 1994
