NEW BUSINESS:
Request from County Coroner
Speaking for County Coroner Scott Anthony, Councilman Jim Gardner presented the
need for a secretarial position for 1997 in the Coroner's office. Councilman Gardner
said that Mr. Anthony had requested that the Council "give" the Coroner's office the
Council's unused secretarial hours. In this way, it was thought, that already budgeted
funds could be reassigned to the Coroner's office. Council members said they did not
have enough information to make a decision about the matter. The Council secretary
was asked to get information from Mr. Anthony about his proposal. President
Stephanie Hayward tabled Mr. Anthony's request until more information was received
by the Council.
