SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed
for discussion of Public Law 92 -54, Emergency Employment Act of 1971.
Acting City Manager Weber discussed the purpose of the program and
the method of funding. This is a program instituted by the Federal Govern-
ment to reduce unemployment by making money available to cities to permit
them to hire additional employees whom they would not otherwise be able to
employ due to budgetary limitations. This is a two -year program and it is
hoped that it will improve the total economy to such an extent that, at the
end of that period, most of these employees can be absorbed into a permanent
program.
Meetings had been held with the Department Heads who had been asked
to submit recommendations and justification for personnel and programs
which might qualify under this legislation. A list of these recommendations
were presented for the Council's consideration.
After discussion of the 15 recommended positions presented, motion
was made by Councilman McGill, seconded by Councilman Nagel that Items
2, 3, 4, 9 and 14 (1) be approved by the Council and that the staff be authorized
to select additional positions as funds permit.
City Attorney Allen presented a resolution authorizing the filing of
application for funding under the Emergency Employment Act of 1971. Motion
was made by Councilman McGill, seconded by Councilman Frederick that
Resolution No. 2405, entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

ZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR
