Consideration of Recreation Supervisor position P Mr. Warden reviewed the hiring process which the City had followed for a Recreation Supervisor. He stated that the situation had changed somewhat since Mr. Ross, Acting Director from Paso Robles, has indicated that the job is more than he can handle with his present responsibilities in Paso Robles. Mr. Warden was recommending, therefore, that the City advertise for either a Recreation Director or Recreation Superintendent. Without Mr. ' Ross, the City will definitely need someone more qualified to run the Recreation Department than those recruited in the advertising process for Recreation Supervisor. Although there was one candidate qualified, he would not accept the Supervisor's position at the salary advertised. MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that the City advertise for a Recreation Director and let the City Manager work out the salary for someone who is recreation director ' qualified.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Highland and unani- mously carried by roll call vote. 2. 1980 Chip Sealing Program over-runs Mr. Warden explained that the chip seal over-runs were caused by the differences in type and quantity of materials needed for the additional chip sealing that was authorized by Council .
