Lynett Cole , Community Task Force , representing coalition of groups throughout the County, requesting a presentation to Council with respect to their concerns regarding health needs of County . Councilman Henderson noted the subject had come up for discussion on the Neighborhood Council , and the matter was subject of great deal of concern . Councilman Rhodes felt Chope Hospital was a badly needed facility, and that the Board of Supervisors should be urged to im- prove the hospital , particularly in view of proposed closing of some State hospitals . He did not feel local hospitals could absorb the increase loads . He suggested that a resolution might be passed to send to the Supervisors stating the need for the Hospital , Council- man Henderson concurred . After some discussion , it was felt that a letter to the Board of Supervisors would be preferable . Councilman Rhodes moved that a letter be sent to the Board of Supervisors expressing concerns with respect to need for Chope Hospital, seconded by Councilman Henderson and carried . (MINUTE ORDER #73-39 ) 4 . Michael West , Field Representative , Local 715 , Service Employees International Union, AFL--CIO , regarding termination of an employee with the Department of Public Works .

West were provided to Council . ) Councilman Norris moved to refer the communication to Staff for processing under proper procedures , seconded by Councilman Williams . City Manager commented that the communication from Mr . West related specif- ically to a matter involved with an appeal filed previously by Mr . Emeal Willis , to which a response from City Manager had been made indicating this procedure was not the proper one , since he was not represented by Local 715 , and advising him of the reasons he was not a represented employee under the memorandum of understanding . He was also invited to contact the Personnel Director or City Manager to discuss the matter . Councilman Henderson noted that even if this temporary employee had been a member of the Local , which he was not, bringing the matter before Council was still not the proper procedure . 3/12/73 Reg .
