City Continued from page 1 ments, the Council heard Water Supt. Leon Phillips say his employees can work within a 40-hour week except for possible emergency situations, such as a burst water main. Likewise, Ernie Phillips, representing the Street Department, said a 40-hour week could be maintained unless there is a heavy snowfall or other such emergency. But Charlene Nichols, manager of the city’s sewage plant, reminded the Council that her department is subject to mandated operating procedures set by the State Board of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency. “I have to listen to you,” she said, “but I also must listen to the EPA and State Board of Health. They say the plant must be manned 24 hours a day.” MRS. NICHOLS SAID the sewage plant is being operated presently by a limited staff using the least amount of overtime possible. But when there is only one man scheduled to work and he is ill or on vacation, she said there is no alternative but to bring in another employee. “When we have one man and he’s off, we don’t have much choice. We must pay someone else overtime,” she explained. “We will continue to try to cut down as much as possible, but the state says ‘You have somebody there 24 hours.’” Narrowing the focus of the discussion, Mayor Warren said the Council must identify how the city uses its personnel within allotted work weeks. And, he cautioned, “We must take the consequences of reduced personnel.” “We’ve got some very loyal city employees,” the mayor acknowledged, “but if they’re on duty, they must be compensated. We will avoid overtime except for emergencies. Is that your wish?” “IF WE SAY NO OVERTIME, are we implying support of two more fire fighters?” Sedlack asked. There was no direct answer to Sedlack’s question, but the mayor said the city will save $35,600 next year because three sanitation workers are no longer on the city payroll since trash collection was assumed by a private contractor. Another “potential” savings of $43,984 will result if the city no longer has to pay five radio operators if the county-based central dispatching system is implemented. “We hope that will be the responsibility of the county,” Warren said, referring to the $43,984 now paid by the city. “But we have to have the cooperation of the county to achieve that result.” Neither the Council nor Warren expressed the view that any funds should be obligated to pay the cost of two additional fire fighters. BUT COUNCILMAN Bob Albright said he opposes any additional personnel or the payment of overtime, unless an emergency exists. “The court says this is what we must do if we have overtime,” Albright said. “But we don’t have to allow overtime.” Councilman John Stevens agreed with curtailment of overtime “unless absolutely essential,” but said that city department staffs should be maintained at personnel levels in effect on Jan. 1,1985. ‘I think you’ve given us guidelines to help us in bringing back a salary ordinance next Tuesday,” Warren said. “I hear you saying that overtime should be allowed only in emergencies and that we freeze staffing levels as they were in January 1985.” ASKED BY SEDLACK if he had a specific pay raise percentage in mind to propose, Warren declined to comment in advance of next week’s meeting. Also present Tuesday night were Councilwoman Flossie Harmless and City Clerk-Treasurer Janice Inman. Councilman Larry Taylor was absent.

Central dispatch

to reduce the jail budget at this point to pay for central dispatch salaries. "MY PREFERENCE right now would be to go with it Jan. 1,” Evans said. “That way, people looking for jobs would have time to readjust. It may also give us more time to get a ‘9ll’ number.” Asbell said he believed that to be the most feasible move. “If we do wait and start central dispatch by Jan. 1, that would give the (county) Council time to set the budget during our reviews (of 1986 county budgets) in September. We should know exactly where we stand.” Those thoughts met without opposition until Commissioner Gene Beck appeared at the meeting. Arriving late, Beck, who serves as the commissioners’ representative to the special central dispatch organizing committee, said he feels the county is obligated to start the operation by Sept. 1. “THAT’S WHAT THE CONTRACT says,” Beck told the council, referring to the Sept. 1 implementation date appearing in the June 17 contract signed by Commissioners Beck, Don Walton and John Carson, along with Mayor Gerald Warren, City Coun-

If it was a “fur piece” from one end of the barn to the other, and if the wind wasn’t in a favorable direction, the boy might not hear the whooping, in which case he fell out of favor with the betterpaid hired hands.

cilman Bobby Albright, OL President Byron Snyder and Auditor Cockrell. “The contract says it all has to be implemented by Sept. 1,” Asbell said, reviewing the pact. “But it can still go into effect Jan. 1.” Beck did not agree with that interpretation, however, saying there is no doubt in his mind that central dispatch is to start in September. Although the opinions differed, the Council determined it will leave the implementation date up to the special central dispatch organizing committee. That board, which is termed the “Joint Board of Control” in the contract, is scheduled to meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall for further central dispatch negotiations. The Council, as each member indicated Tuesday, will abide by the Joint Board of Control’s decision. Scheduled to meet at that Thursday session are Control Board members Snyder and David Bray from Operation Life, Mayor Warren and Councilman Albright, Commissioner Beck and County Councilman Asbell.

hay-related job which made him wonder why he ever griped about his former job. He was handed a pitchfork and sent up into the haymow to move the stuff to the right places and tramp it down so a maximum amount of hay could be put in. All of this took place beneath a tin roof which transmitted most of the sun’s heat and gave the mow crew some idea of what a biscuit must go through before it leaves the oven. The only air intake was through the hay hole and it was soon polluted with hay and

IN THE MIDDLE AGES or thereabouts, the powers that be achieved a similar torture pattern by burning their victims at the stake or by boiling them in oil. Perhaps this was before haymows were common. Today, when I see a youngster driving a fork lift, moving huge round bales that will never be stored in a barn loft, I wonder what they will find to tell or write about when they have grown old.
