Minutes of September ~, 1960 meeting read and approved with following corrections:
"Mrs. Bissell moved that the Board should have its own attorney to give legal
opinions" rather than "Mrs. Bissell expressed herself..."; Mr. Ma.uney's recommun-
dation that Board send a resolution of appreciation to Mr. Birchall seconded by
Mr. Dalby; Mrs. Bissell seconded Mr. Dalby's motion to establish Patrolman Rioux's
anniversary date as May 16. On chis same subject of anniversary datest Mr. Coit
objected to words "not commented upon." According to notes. Mr. Stewart explained
that July or October dates are not anniversary dates. Mr. Coit suggested that
this be added to the motion originally made by Mr. Dalby. (Amendment to Pay Plan
rule 7); refer to Mr. Weimer as Assistant Purchasing Agent rathe~ than Purchasing
Agent; refer to letter sent by "three Board membersll rather than "letter sent by
Board" to Mr. Stewart.
Mrs. Bissell questioned the authority of the City Commission to instruct City
Manager~ Mr. Stewart, to give all employees anniversary salary increases when due.
Mr.Coit said that he thought the Commission's action supported the Civil Service
Board. Mrs. Bissell stated that she objected to the City Commission taking action
on what she felt were Civil Service Board matters. She could see no reason for
the Board to take action and vote on matters if the City Manager and City Commission
can do whatever they want. Chairman Coit felt that the Commission was merely
reiterating actions of the Board. Mrs. Bissell remarked that Mr. Stewart explained
to her that he referred all matters of policy to the City Commission.

members felt that the employees need not wait until Mr. Birchall's formal resig-
,nation was received, before electing a replacement.
Director reported on resignations and dismissals. Mr. Coit felt that the Board
should know more about the reasons prompting resignations and dismissals.
Requested the Director inquire about the sick leave balance of Richard Mosby

of more consideration by the Board. Mr. Coit felt no action necessary on the
Board's part concerning resignations and dismissals but felt he would like more
information.
