Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the minutes of the regular meeting of May 27, 1969 be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN COL3TJRN stated last week the Council filed the minutes of the Civil Service C'nmmission meeting of May 21, 156;; however, he overlooked Paragraph 5 of the minutes ("A motion was entertained by Mr. Niederfrank, seconded by Mr. Torres that the classification of Assistant City Manager be deleted from Mr. Watts' title. Motion was amended by Mr. Torres to include that if the City Manager wishes to keep Mr. Watts on as Assistant City Manager that he assume full time duties as Assistant City Manager and that he be hired in the usual proper Civil Service procedure.") Councilman Colburn said some time ago he moved the City be allowed to hire an employee after he had been a temporary employee 90 days so long as it was unanimous by the Council and by the City Manager and the employee's dePartnen t head; at the time it was only a motion to study the possibilities of that move; he heard from the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, as well as some of the employees, stating we cannot go backwards; we have progressed to this point with our Civil Service employment program and any ocher means of hiring would be go- ing backwards; he concurred their feelings were well taken and went no further; however, he still felt the possibility was there; now they have a situation that the Council has entered into and the Civil Service Commission has stated its opinion, Councilman Colburn said the purpose of the various commissions and boards is to give the Council guidance and this portion of the Civil Service Commission minutes was overlooked. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, we adhere to the request in Paragraph 5 and direct the City Manager to tai:a the necessary steps to fulfill the recommendation of the Civil Service Commission. City Manager Osburn said it was his intention just to give the additional duties and not the title. Councilman Hogue said he thought ir. the City Manager's request it said "Assistant City Manager." City Manager Osburn said he would have to check it but he thought it was the additional duties; he would bring back something on it next week if they desired. Councilman Colburn said Mr. Watts should not be given additional duties as he has a full time job for which he was hired; we need also a full time Assistant City tanager; it was not fair to the City of National City nor to the City Manager to have a part time Assistant City Manager; the job Mr. Watts was working on is very important to the economy and future of National City. Motion failed by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Colburn, Hogue. Nays: Camacho, Reid, Morgan. Councilman Hogue asked if this meant Mr. Watts will retain the title of Assistant City Manager and the Council does not intend to adhere to what the Civil Service Commission recommended. City Attorney McLean said the motion to carry out the re..commendations of the Civil Service Commission failed. Councilman_ Hogue inquired if Mr. Watts will have the title of Assistant City Manager. City Attorney McLean said he was not saying that; he was only saying the Council defeated a motion that the position of Assistant City Manager be filled through the regular Civil Service procedure. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO stated on Memorial Day they went to Tecate at the invita- tion of Tecate citizens to pay tribute to President John F. Kennedy; the ceremony was beautiful; later they were given a tour of local industry, 6/3/69 74 schools and the city hall.
