D. NEW BUSINESS
1. Election procedures for City Clerk and City Treasurer
Mr. Warden reviewed the options outlined in his memo. Council
i members discussed their preferences; Councilman Nelson felt that
the election should be held as soon as possible, which would be in
March, 1981. Councilman Mackey thought that Council could wait
until the November election, while other members of the Council were
in favor of postponing the election until the March, 1982 general
municipal election..
MOTION: Councilman Stover moved that the City Clerk and City
Treasurer election be held off until the 1982 municipal
election. The motion was seconded by Councilman Highland.
Mike Cox felt that the Council should hold a public hearing on
the matter to see if the public felt the election should be held
sooner.
John Daly stated that the Council should have had the election
for these offices at the same time that the Measures E and F were
on the ballot and thus saved the City considerable money; they could
also have submitted the Voter' s Fee Approval Ordinance at the same
time.
Mr. Grimes noted that the City Council was not at fault in this
City Clerk/City Treasurer matter; the issue should have been on the
incorporation ballot which was prepared by three County agencies.
The motion carried with Councilmen Mackey and Nelson
voting no.
