The City Manager clarified the reason for holding the meeting
stating that the Council was being given a final opportunity to
discuss and make a decision on whether or not to place this issue
on the June ballot .
Council discussion followed . Mayor Dexter reported that Gere
Sibbach , City Treasurer , had been unable to attend the meeting
but had asked the Mayor to relate for him his opinion that
offices of City Treasurer and Clerk are technical positions and
should be appointed .
Council discussion followed with a consensus of members present
that the offices should be appointive rather than elected .
Councilwoman Mackey pointed out that the positions were
originally appointed . She further indicated that if placed on
the ballot now, it may become a campaign issue and that the

question should be asked during an off (election) year .
Councilwoman Borgeson arrived at 3:43 p.m. and was apprised of
the current discussion. Ms. Borgeson commented that if the
measure was placed on the ballot in June, that the results would
not take affect until the next election. She stated that she,
therefore, could not see the present reason for such action. She
further asserted that the offices should remain elective, not
appointed , to insure an oversight function at City Hall .

as they are.
