2. COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EMPLOYEE POSITIONS
Mr. Taraday explained that the proposed ordinance is identical to the ordinance passed on
Tuesday except for the effective date. This version, which contains an emergency declaration
and sunset clause, would take immediate effect if adopted by at least five councilmembers.
Acting Chief Sniffen added that the new effective date allows the police department to proceed
with the corporal promotion and avoid any potential challenge to that process.
COUNCILMEMBER PAINE MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. 4388
AMENDING AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEE POSITIONS. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
ADJOURNMENT
