Councilman Weiss called the Council's attention to the delay they were experiencing in considering the Civil Defense program notwithstanding Council affirmation some three months ago to consider at least the first portions which involves the setting up of the machinery of administration and planning. To avoid possibility that nothing may be done with or about this question because of failure to make provisions in the budget soon to be considered and finalized, I would like to urge that we at least instruct the City Attorney upon the City Manager's recommendation to make provisions in the salary ordinance now being drafted for a suitable position and salary range for the position of Deputy Director of Civil Defense and Disaster as indicated*in recent survey of Civil Defense set up for this community. This was followed by discussion.
