Also suggests input from the Planning Commission. <br /> L'Orange: The problem is with the process . Cushnie: <br /> Maybe invite someone else to speak that has seen a <br /> 10-year progression of General Plan concerns .

IV, Sec. 4-3 . Questioned whether the word <br /> "appointed" should be changed to "nominated . " Questioned <br /> Art. V and VI also. An issue is whether or not <br /> appointees without confirmation should be subject to <br /> confirmation. Greenwell: If you' re going to have <br /> department heads approved by Council , then you might as <br /> well make the mayor a city manager (Tape 2: 1 : 12) , because <br /> then the mayor would no longer be responsible. Discussed <br /> difference between staff and line agencies. <br /> Yuen: Art. IV, Sec. 4-3 is significant with respect to <br /> agencies created by ordinance. So this says if the <br /> County does create an agency by ordinance, the person who <br /> administers it shall be appointed by the mayor. No one <br /> has raised any issues re this article (Tape 2: 2:43 ) . <br /> Cushnie: Mr. Luke suggested changes in Sec. 4-5 (a) : <br /> Concerning appointing and removing deputies or assistants <br /> or private secretaries , wanted removed the statement , <br /> "and such positions shall be exempt from civil service <br /> laws and classifications" and inserted, "whose status <br /> shall be in accordance with civil service laws . " <br /> Bethea: Feels that was a technical change. Cushnie: <br /> Feels item should be checked into. Yuen: Suggested <br /> rewriting it to say, private secretary is in an exempt <br /> position under civil service. Suggested removing rest of <br /> sentence after "secretary" ; the Luke change is to bring <br /> the Charter into conformity with state law. <br /> 687 <br />
