City Manager, Jack Tallent. Letter substantiated the fact that the position of
Safety Inspector did not exist until recently established by the Board. Discussion
followed. Job classification for Safety Inspector rcad by Director. Director stated
that the Civil Service Board had never been notified of any change of duties or status
of Mr. James Thompson, other than that the License Inspector's position was vacant.
Mr. Dalby fele it unfair that the man filling the position of Safety Inspector should
have co take an examination. Mr. Coit stated that he felt that the Board and City
Manager had been lax in not taking action before this date. Mr. Mauney stated, ~-
however, that the Board should follow the rules and avoid all the misunderstandings
" :~ created by placing employees in positions without following the law.
\ Motion made by Hr. Birchall to reaffirm motion made at February 16th, 1960, meeting
to hold an examination for Safety Inspector. Seconded by Mr. Mauney. Members Dalby,
Russell and Coit opposed. MOtion failed. Motion then made to table this matter.

taken' at February 16 meeting. Carried, and decision final that competitive examina-
cion should be conducted for position of Safety Supervisor.

Request to fill License Inspecto~'s position discussed. Mr. Birchall pointed out
that this Inspector brings revenue to the City and the salary should not be reduced
from $138.00 bi-weekly to $121.00. With Clearwater growing, the job is more im- . ~~
portant and requires more responsibility than it did eight or ten years ago. It ~
was questioned if the City Manager has the authority to change the classification
and reduce salary without approval of the Board.
