IS Clerk -Comptroller Bette Bowyer appeared at 7:45 P.M. regarding a request
for additional help in the Clerk's Office due to the additional work
load that has been created by the installation of sewers. It was dis-
cussed and determined by the Committee that due to the unusual
circumstances at the present time, that our current City Treasurer
could best serve the City if her position were made full time in lieu
of part time rather than the addition of a bookeeper to the staff.
It was felt that due to her experience she could best serve inasmuch
as she is already acquainted with the bookeeping system and would
not have to be trained. Also, with her knowledge of other City
problems she could best serve the public by answering many of the
questions that are brought to the office rather than a newly hired
person unfamilar with these problems. It was also suggested that
we should be thinking of the hiring of a receptionist for the City
Hall. Ald. Cooley moved, seconded by Ald. Burgermeister that the
Office of City Treasurer be made full time and that an additional
receptionist be hired. Motion carried.
Mrs. Bowyer also brought to the Committee many problems the office
had been having regarding a State Auditor, mostly due to the unavail-
ability of his services when we needed them. It was suggested that
a local auditor be hired in lieu of the current contract with the
• State Auditors Office. Ald. Burgermeister moved, seconded by Ald.
Cooley that we contract for services of a local auditor. Motion
carried.
Building Inspector Lee appeared at 8:05 P.M. and requested that
the Committee view the building at S76 W18114 Janesville Rd. and
make recommendations on same.
A bill for $600.00 from the Dept. of Agriculture was received relating
to their letter of 9/30/68 regarding their services in the City. It
was recommended that the Finance Committee accept said bill and pay same.
Ald. Cooley moved to adjourn, seconded by Ald. Burgermeister, motion
I
arried. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
R. A. Burgermeister, Sec'y.
