The Library Director presented a new job description
for consideration at the next meeting.
AGENDA Item 2. Standby or On -call Time was discussed as it pertains
to employees in the Utility Department. Employees
expressed a feeling of insufficient compensation for
standby time. They reported that other cities
adjoining and nearby our city are being paid for
standby time and some furnish beepers. The Commission
and members of Council listened carefully and questioned
further about the number of people involved and number
of times an employee is scheduled for standby. The
Commission determined that they would need to study
the situation thoroughly before making any recommendation.
They assured the employees that a response would be
made but made no action now.
AGENDA Item 1. School Reimbursement - Steve Lewis reiterated the facts
concerning his request for reimbursement which the
Commission decided should be paid in September, but has
not been paid. The Commission asked Council to comment

on what had transpired. Comments and questions were
exchanged on the subject of what authority the Commission
holds in this and other matters. The Commission decided
to send a letter to the City Manager. A motion was made
by Mr. Carter as follows:
"The Commission sends a letter to the City Manager
requesting reimbursement to Steve Lewis of tuition as
per Civil Service action on 9 -6 -77, with copies to
each member of City Council and the Mayor."
The motion was seconded by Mr. Moore; voting was
unanimous.
The secretary was instructed to request by letter,
a placement on the Council agenda for Steve Lewis to
present his reimbursement request to the entire Council
at a later date, perhaps in a work session. Mr. Trotter

reimbursement be modified in regards to the City Manager
having the sole decision on it.
