that Officers Mounteer and Cagle were promoted from their

ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated
a new ordinance. The
4/15
506
Commission would like to meet with the Council and discuss
this and perhaps straighten out some of the discrepancies.
The Civil Service Commission has set forth a job classification
as Detective Sergeant. but the Salary resolution did not
provide for any.such position, it provided that of a Police
Detective. Mr. Cagle and Mr. Mounteer were serving as Police
Detectives and in October their salaries were raised. At the
same time tho Motorcycle Traffic Officers had their salary
raised. Mr. Campbell said it is his contention that they can-
not be promoted to Detective Sergeant without taking an exam-
ination. WALTER CAGLE of the Police Dept. stated this proposed
classification for Detective Sergeant has been under consider-
ation by the Commission for over a year. It was approved by
our Chief of Police and a recommendation sent to the Civil
Service commission, and they in turn sent in their recommend-
ation to the Council that Mr. Mounteer and Mr. Cagle be appoint-
ed Detective Sergeants, which was granted by the Council. They
have been carried on the Civil Service Commission job class-
ification plan as Detective Sergeants for ovor two years. It
is the opinion of both Mr. Cagle and Mr. Mounteer that they
should be eligible to hold the position of Detective Sergeant
as they have been doing the work and have been carried on the
Civil Service as such for over two years. It entails no raise
in salary, it is merely a job classification. POLICE CHIEF SMITH
stated the way the Civil Service was set up it meant Mr.
Mounteer and Mr. Cagle who were working as plain clothes men
would have to go backward before they could go forward, and he
did not think that was good administration, and he requested
from the Civil Service Commission that some change be made in
the job classification so that they would not have to revert
back to a Uniform Sergeant before they could take an examinat-
ion for any of the ranks above Sergeant. Mr. Smith said he be-
4/15
507
lieved there will have to be some adjustments made in the
Civil Service Rules and Regulations. Moved by Hart, seconded
by McClure, this be held over and that the Couneil have a
meeting with the Civil Service Commission as soon as possible.
Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. PATROLMAN DAVID
REA stated the two Officers, Mounteer and Cagle were Patrol-
men and appointed under the Detective division and have been
in that division for about two years. Officer Rea was a
Patrolman about 8 years and after he had been here about one
year he was appointed to the License Division. At the present
time he is eligible to be a Sergeant and is on the eligibility
list. Three years from now these men will be eligible for
Captain. The whole set up is wrong. Officer Rea said they
would welcome meeting with the Commission and Council. MAYOR
CARRIGAN requested City Manager Rhodes to arrange a meeting
as soon as possible with the Civil Service Commission. CITY
MANAGER RHODES asked that it be referred to him to work out
some of the details before any meeting is arranged. Moved
by Clarke, seconded by Hart, this be referred to City Manager
Rhodes to work out the details prior to meeting with the Civil
Service Commission. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MAITAGER RHODES was read, stating that
Mr. Walter H. Barber has requested cancellation of his former

commendation is acceptable and that the bill will be paid et
the next meeting.

The Water Company has ordered definitive rates in their
proceeding that was held last August or September in which

ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported that Mr. Fritz and Mr. Bowers have
asked the City to either install sewers in National Vista No. 2
or permit them to install sewers on their property. Some
three or four months ago the Council stated their policy was
to allow the subdivider to put in his own sewers. DON NEWBERRY
of the Engineer's Office stated it would be about an Haven
deal" whether the City installed the sewers or the subdivider
installed them. GILBERT FRITZ stated that approximately two
months ago Mr. Seifert recommended to the Council that the
subdividers install the sewers, and in the meantime plans have
4/15
511
been drawn which have been approved by the Engineering Dept.
Time is running short, there are seven houses under crnstruct-
