4 ;r. Trevino replied it will again depend on whether these positions can be filled through the ranks and, if there is an increase, it would be roughly $5,000. Mr. Jerry Young, Assistant Director of Finance, stated the City would realize a cost benefit of approximately $2,100 for the next year. Councilman Rehrer asked if these new positions are going to be filled by an open exam, allowing everyone the opportunity to apply, as the City now operates, because if each one is not given an equal opportunity then the City is not doing justice. Mr. Trevino replied the positions will be filled through open competitive examina- tion. Councilman Rehrer asked when this plan will be implemented. Mr. Trevino replied as soon as all of the required paper work can be completed, hopefully within the next 30 to 45 days. Councilman Rehrer then questioned the position of City Engineer, and asked if the City is again going to have to contract for engineering services. Mr. Trevino stated it is hopeful that the current Director of Community Services may be able to fill that position, if he so desires. After additional discussion, Councilman Rehrer moved to deny the proposed reorganiza- tion of the Community Services Department. Mayor Gonzales stated as a point of order, a motion to close the public hearing would be appropriate at this time. Councilman Hayes asked if the employees association was aware of this matter. Mr. Trevino replied that he had met with the employees association, they were aware of his recommendations to the City Council and the proposals as outlined. Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to terminate the Public Hearing. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to deny Resolution No. 4100. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was: AYES: Two; Cisneros, Rehrer. NOES: Three; Hayes, Garcia, Gonzales. ABSENT: None. Motion did not carry. Councilwoman Cisneros asked if the City Manager had discussed the reorganization and this plan with the Director of Community Services, as it seems that within the reorganization there is no longer a position for the Community Services Director. Mr. Trevino replied yes, that he had discussed the reorganization plan with the Community Services Director and he was aware that it was being presented to the City Council, and there is a job opening, if he so desires. Councilwoman Cisneros stated that with this reorganization, the position of Com- munity Services Director was being eliminated. Mr. Trevino stated yes, with the understanding that the Community Services Director, the incumbent, would be eligible to apply for the position of City Engineer. Councilwoman Cisneros then asked when the City Manager had discussed this with the Director of Community Services. Mr. Trevino stated approximately two and one-half weeks ago he spoke to Mr. Wang and advised him of the changes and indicated to him what his recommendations would be to the City Council. After additional discussion, moved by Councilwoman Garcia, seconded by Councilman Hayes, to approve Resolution Nos. 4100 and 4101. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was: AYES: Three; Hayes, Garcia, Gonzales. NOES: Two; Cisneros, Rehrer. ABSENT: None. Motion carried. APR 21 1981
