Hedenland in regards to inserting into the contract the assurance that the present city employees at the water quality control plant will be absorbed. Mr. Edwards stated this had been worked out along with the assurance that the employees' Q sick leave currently on the books will be retained by the firm. Councilwoman Cisneros asked what guarantee, if any, do the employees have that a week after the lease goes into effect they will not be let go?
