Motion by CM Bennett to take the money from travel for now, direct staff to find other areas that can be cut on this budget and bring them for Council approval at a future date, in order to allow Council to hire a part-time person in the office, in an amount of $13,000, to help the Executive Secretary. Motion failed with CM Chastain and CM Bennett voting "Yes" and CM Sandoval and CM Hutton absent.

Motion carried upon unanimous vote, with CM Hutton and CM Sandoval absent. CITY CLERK CM Chastain asked that the increase in pay to City Clerk Barrera be tabled to a future date, possibly mid -year, for clarification of the Cemetery and Risk Management assignments. Acting City Manager Harmon spoke on behalf of City Clerk Barrera, who was out of town attending a City Clerk's conference. She stated that the city clerk position no longer had the risk manager assignment. Acting City Manager Harmon indicated an unusual situation existed in that City Clerk Barrera filled the full-time position of senior office specialist and in that capacity was subordinate to the deputy city clerk and as elected city clerk she was supervisor to the deputy city clerk. She indicated there would be a trade-off as the proposal would address that situation and it would also eliminate the senior office specialist position. Deputy City Clerk Delgado indicated that no pay was allocated when the Cemetery was assigned to her and no compensation had been received. CM Sanders inquired if the 4% factored into this. Acting City Manager Harmon stated that salaries in the budget were status quo and monies to be allocated were in a compensation reserve fund. Mayor Gaytan moved for approval of the balance of the budget. CM Chastain stated she had questions as to each department and Mayor Gaytan withdrew his motion for lack of a second. Motion and second by CM Chastain and Bennett to approve the City Clerk's portion of the budget carried unanimously, with CM Hutton and CM Sandoval Absent. At 6:08 P. M., indicating he had a family commitment to attend, Mayor Gaytan excused himself and turned the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tempore Cook, City Manager City Council Minutes - June 30, 1997 Page 3 ..,ti � - 4nA1
