The Committee did not take action at the April 17, 2002 meeting regarding the
application submitted by Kristle Morin. The Police Department determined no action

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Review Request of Steve Oschmann to Waive Interest and Penalty
This item was deferred from the 4/17/2002 meeting. The Mayor stated both he and the
Clerk-Treasurer researched the issue. The state statutes are very specific. Ald.
Salentine moved to deny request because state statutes do not allow waiving interest
and penalty. Ald. Sanders seconded; motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Discuss the Refilling of Vacant Positions
Mayor Slocomb stated the City determined not to fill any new positions as well as any
existing positions that became vacant in response to the Governor’s proposal to
eliminate shared revenue. It now appears that there will not be a cut in shared revenue
for this year. The Mayor requested that two existing, vacant positions be filled. They
are the Floating Secretary and Library Aide positions. In addition, he would like to see
that the original policy to refill vacant positions be restored. The policy allows a
Department Head to fill a vacancy following notification, if after three working days, the
Mayor or Aldermen do not request to review the position. Ald. Salentine moved to
approve. Ald. Sanders seconded; motion carried.
