don't really fill the bill. • BLANN: What I would do, for example, for a County Manager or for the Managing Director, is I would go to a professional organization. I suspect County Managers have one. Most professional groups do. I would try to get information from them, and possibly consultants from some of their Boards, and have them help outline what is proper language in that field. And in general, in the different areas, I would try to contract professional organizations, try to get some ideas from those and condense those into what seemed good. HERKES: Thank you. BLANN: Article VI, Chapter 5, Department of Environmental Services. Again, maybe I misread this, but it didn't seem as though the qualifications of the Director needed to have any experience in Envir6nmental Science Management. It looked like it was purely administrative, and I would think that that post would need someone who, preferably, had a degree in Environmental Science and some experience in management processes. 6-5.4. I put let the Council submit names, one list from each Council member, so that must have been some Board or Commission. Under Section 13-4, having to do with the 90 day succession of appointments from the previous Administration, I would say no. I would write it that they may continue up to • 90 days if requested in writing by the new appointive authority. So if it was a post that the Mayor would appoint, the new incoming mayoral candidate could request that the people stay on, but he shouldn't be saddled, with dolts for 90 days if he doesn't wish to be. That could foul up the setting -up of a new Administration. i 5-6.2. I'd borrow from old Office of Price Administration and ask if the trip is really necessary. It seems we may be creating a lot of new governmental posts. This, I hate to sound like Ronald Reagan but, is increasing the cost of government and making government bigger. Wasn't clear to me, if that Commission was necessary. At the bottom of the page, I would suggest a wording from the present, `should the Safety Coordinator be abolished' to the more genteel `should the position of Safety Coordinator be abolished'. 6-2.2. Again, do not remove the professional qualifications. Section 2, under Impeachment, I would plead with you to leave it alone. It has not been abused. As I said, if anything, it's under-utilized. I see no reason to change it and to clutter the ballot with a change when it has not been a problem, unless the politicians are thinking of changing their.activities, getting very abusive, and they want to be further insulated from the voters rather than responsible. But what I would like to 9
