National City, California, June 30, 1950
Adjourned meeting of June 28, 1950, of the City Council was
called to order by Mayor Clinton D. Matthews at,2:00 PrM.
o'clock. Councilmen present: Carrigan, Clarke, Curry, Matthews.
Councilmen absent: Hart.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS present: Alston, Sullivan, Harbison.
MAYOR MATTHEUS stated that they would proceed with the hearing
of the budget. The matter of the City Clerk's and the City
Treasurer's salary was discussed. A ruiine by the City Attorney
permits the Council to give the City Clerk and the City Treasurer
additional duties' to make up the deficit -in their salary budgets.,
Moved by Curry, seconded by Oath, that further discussion on
this be postponed until later this evening. Carried, all
Councilmen present voting aye.
A MOTION was made. by Clarke, seconded by Curry, that the City
Attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance setting the
future salary of the City Clerk and the City Treasurer at
$320.00 per month. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET was next discussed. The position
of Police Detective was considered. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN
stated that if the Council created the position of Police
Detective that she would like to recommend that the salary be
A288.00 per month. Moved by Clarke, seconded by Curry, that
the position of Police Detective be created, salary 0288.00
per month. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
COUNCILMAN CURRY brought up the subjeot of the motorcycle officers
6/30
441
and stated that he felt that they were entitled to more than
a $10.00 differential that they are getting over -the Patrol-
men. MAYOR MATTHEWS asked if it would put the motorcycle
officer too close to the sergeant if they paid him $299.00,
in other words, an additional 120.00 for riding motor; which
would put them very close to the Police Sergeant. CITY MANAGER
SULLIVAN stated that she thought if the Council put the motor
officer at 1299.00 the deteotive,should also go to 1299.00;
the two positions are comparable, one in their hazard and
the other in extra hours. Moved by Curry, seconded by Clarke,
that we establish two classifications, that of the Detective
and one of Motor Officer, the rate for both to be $299.00 per
month. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
"COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that he wondered if it would not
be in order for the City Manager to explain approximately
what the audit found and a slight resume of what we contem-
plate doing in setting up a new accounting system. CITY
MANAGER SULLIVAN stated the recommendation of the auditors,
and also of her office, are to mechanize our Accounting System
in as simple a method as we can in order to make it easy at
any time to know the statas of the funds of the City.
COUNCILMAN CLARKE stated he thought at this time that we should
get started on the recommended salary schedule.
THE NEXT ITEM that received a great deal of discussion wag
that of Park Supt. Moved by Clarke, seconded by Curry, that
the Park Supt. and City Forester's salary be set at $370.00
per month. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes:
Clarke, Curry, Matthews. Nays: Carrigan.

MAYOR MATTHEWS deolared a recess at this time until 5:30 P.M.
THE MEETING was resumed at 5:30 P.M. The discussion on the
recommended salary schedule was takenup again at this time.
The next position greatly discussed was that of the Street
and Sewer Supt, Tom robes stated that he would like to see
the Street Supt. get the same amount of money as the Park
Supt., that he felt the Street Supt.'s responsibility is just
as great, if not greater. than that of Park Supt. COUNCILMAN
CLARKE stated that the City Manager made provision in the
budget where the Street Supt. would be taken care of, but it
might take a year or two before he reaches the $370,00; the
Park Supt. is there now and that is as far aq he will go.
CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that she called this to the
attention of the Council at the time they set the Park Supt.
at 3370.00 there was no provision -for additional steps; that
it would result in the Park Supt. receiving a higher rate of
pay than the Street and Sewer Supt and_the Sanitation Supt.;
under the,profisions of the salary resolution they would go
to 3353.00. MAYOR MATTHEWS stated that he thought it possible
that, this former motion on the Park $upt. could have been
misunderstood = by Mr. Curry and,himself, if Mr, Clarke meant that
he would be raised to $370,00 immediately on the adoption of
this budget. It was his feeling that he wanted the $353.00
entered and the $370,00 maximum entered so that the Park Supt.
could have the same right to make the $$370.00 as the other
two superintendents. MAYOR MATTHEWS said the thing that he
did not want in the future is the extra overtime pay to
Departments, they should receive a salary and no overtime
pay; and if that was not the meaning of Councilman Clarke's
motion that it should be changed. Moved by Clarke, seconded
6/30
443
by Curry, that all previous action taken on the salary con-
sideration of the Park Supt. be rescinded. Carried, all Coun-
cilmen present voting aye.
COUNCILMAN CLARKE made a motion, seconded by Curry, that the
Park Supt., Street Supt.,and Supt. of Sanitation be paid, as
of the 1st of July 1950, the salary of $353.00 per month.
Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN made a motion that the meeting adjourn one
hour for dinner.
MAYOR MATTHEWS called the meeting to order at 7:49 P.M.
THE CITY COURT was discussed. JUDGE HARBISON stated that
he believed that the other courts are paying more than $2.00
for Jury fees, We do not pay mileage which the other courts
do. JUDGE HARBISON said that•he wondered if we had not better
get in line. Moved by Clarke, seconded by Curry, that the
City Attorney be instructed to proceed to set up compensation
for jurors at 73.00. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.
THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET was next. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN
stated that this is the place in which should be inserted
whatever arrangements are to be made about the City Clerk
and City Treasurer; and that her suggested solution, in the
light of the discussion, would be to set up two Administrative
Aides, one at 1100.00 and one at 1125. Moved by Clarke, seconded
by Curry, that $100.00 per month be allowed the City Clerk,
and $125.00 per month be allowed the City Treasurer as Admin-
istrative Aides to the City Manager. Carried, by the •following
vote to -wit: Ayes: Clarke, Curry, Matthetrs. Nays: Carrigan.
