McDowell moved to adopt the resolution; Ragland seconded, and motion passed unanimously on roll call vote. Mayor Prickett noted that the above resolutions did not include the recorder's salary, to which Almquist replied that the City Charter provides for the recorder's salary to be adjusted in the same percentage as the average salary adjustments of the other supervisory employees and department heads, but agreed that fer the record the amount of salary should be brought to the Council's attention, and will do so at the next meeting. P. W. Director Alsing reported that this year's street resurfacing is costing 30% lessthan estimated because of a lower than estimated material bid, the continuation of the STREET PAVING (continued) ADJOURn,lENT: CETA program, and the settlement with the Construction Laborers in a favorable wage percentage. He asked for authority to continue resurfacing additional streets based on his previous list of priorities of streets. McCannon moved to authorize the paving of Palm, Walker, Indiana and High Streets, but that the cost not exceed the $53,650 appropriated. Ragland seconded the motion. Laws and Mayor Prickett questioned the propriety of acting on the matter without advance publicity, but also commented that these streets were included in Alsing's original report on streets that needed resurfacing, and which received no remonstrance at that time. Alsing said his only reason for urgency in getting authorization was to continue using the crew at its full capacity--the present paving projects will be completed before the next regular council meeting. The motion passed with unanimous YES on roll call vote. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
