Q Personnel Q Q Mayor Gonzales stated the Council has received a memorandum from the Acting City Manager regarding the recruitment for City Manager, the information to be pub- lished and the places of advertisement. Mayor Gonzales said Mr. Elliott would like approval of the recommendation. Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to approve the recom- mended outline for recruitment for City Manager as presented by the Acting City Manager. Unanimous vote. Water Quality Control Plant Council discussed the operation of the Water Quality Control Plant. The Council felt that at one time, they had been told that with the properly licensed personnel, the plant could be operated with less than eight people. Council consensus was if in fact, the plant could be operated with four individ- uals who were property licensed, then the City's cost to operate the plant would be competitive with the contracted price. Council said it was the cost of eight salaried positions that made the City operation so costly, inasmuch, as the con- tractor was only using four men to keep the plant operational. After obtaining a copy of the contract, City Attorney Edwards advised the Council the contract is candellable after one year with either party giving the other party six (6) months prior written notice of termination. Acting City Manager Elliott said it would be difficult to review all of the subject matter properly and submit a report to the Council by their next meeting due to the short period of time and that perhaps it would be best to approve the Enterprise Budget with the contract remaining and after the City Manager came on board he could bring forth a recommendation to the Council. Moved by Councilman Hayes, seconded by Mayor Gonzales to approve the Enterprise Budget. Motion failed. Council Members Cisneros, Temby, and Rehrer voting NO. Councilwoman Cisneros moved to approve the Enterprise Budget and that the City give notice to cancel the contract for operation of the Water Quality Control Plant. Motion died for lack of a second.
