38 City Manager - Account 1\c1. 410 (pp 10-11) Mayor Weymouth noted that approval of Account No. 410 had been deferred pending receipt of additional infor- mation concerning the position of Engineering Adminis- trative Assistant. City Manager Fales advised in re- sponse to question that elimination of the position would mean that those duties would need to be absorbed ...r by himself and the Assistant City Manager, and would result in less work being accomplished , other than housing and community development matters. He stated that experience has shown that this is a full-time position. As an alternative , retention of the position at a lower salary range of $1105-1470 would result in a saving of approximately $6,000. MOT:rON : Councilman Norris mo ed , seconded by Councilman Rhodes, that the Engineering Administrative Assistant position be deleted from the budget . Discussion followed in which concern was expressed as to the effects on the functioning of the City Manager' s de- partment if the position is eliminated . Mr. Fales advised that elimination of the position altogether would save approximately $13 ,000 and added that he had no qualms with respect to eliminating any position, if it is in { the interest of the community, but that if staff is to accomplish what is expected to be done , with one less net total position , it will be harder, take longer and in sor rases would not be done. °""'► The motion failed on the following roll call vote : Ayes : Councilmen Leipzig, Norris, Rhodes Noes : Councilmen Barrett, Henderson, Williams and Mayor Weymouth MOTION : Councilman Henderson moved, seconded by Council- man Williams , to approve inclusion in the City Manager budget of the position of A ministrative Aide at the lower salary range .
