Mr. Luna read from the General Orders of the Police Department, in particular 171 Item No. 5, advising the Council Members of his accomplishments and merits while employed as a Police Officer for the City. Mr. Luna also read a letter from Police Chief Phil Elliott, denying his "E" Step increase, mainly due to his disability and not being able to perform his duties as Police Officer for the past year. Mr. Luna stated he had become injured on July 12, 1977. Mr. Luna requested Council's consideration and approval of his "E" Step increase as requested. Councilwoman Cisneros moved that the City Council recommend to the City Manager approval of the "E" Step increase for Mr. Crespin Luna as requested. Motion seconded by Councilman Hayes. City Manager Calabrese stated that because of the structure and rules of the City's Merit Step policy, he did not feel that this request or recommendation could be possbile. City Attorney Edwards advised that due tothe status of Mr. Luna now being a re- tired employee, which action was taken at Ia previous Council Meeting by approval of Resolution No. 3873, he would no longer be eligible for a step increase. Mr. Co Edwards referred to the City Manager Ordinance and the provisions therein provid- o) ing the City Manager/Personnel Officer to make these decisions. Mr. Edwards con- cluded it would be inappropriate for the City Council to consider this matter at this time. Q Mayor Gonzales and Councilman Rehrer felt that because the City Council has already taken action on this matter, and considered and approved Mr. Luna's disability re- tirement, it is no longer a matter for consideration and is out of the Councils' hands. Mr. Luna advised that he had contacted PERS and was told this matter could still be considered, it was not too late, and therefore, he was requesting the City Council's approval of the "E" Step increase request. After additional discussion, Mayor Gonzales stated there is a motion on the floor, made by Councilwoman Cisneros and seconded by Councilman Hayes, and asked Council's wishes on this matter. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was: AYES: Two; Cisneros, Hayes. NOES: Two; Gonzales, Rehrer. ABSENT: None. Motion did not carry. Federally Funded Projects Agua Mansa Restoration Project Mr. Frank Rebollo stated with all due respect to the Agua Mansa Restoration Project and Program Committee, he was requesting Council's reconsideration of the $10,000 offer for this project. Mr. Rebollo said this would at least be a start in the right direction, and a beginning for the Restoration Project. Councilman Rehrer stated he would then rescind his previous motion. Councilman Hayes stated he would rescind his second to the motion. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, to adopt Community Development Block Grant Projects, Priority No. 1, Priority No. 2, Priority No. 3 as listed, and Priority No. 4 as the Agua Mansa Project in the amount of $10,000, with an adjustment being made off the $343,100 in the second priority.
