MEN= EMMM Mayor Woodard: We are going to have to hire a part-time clerk in the office here for several reasons; one is that the Auditor just got through with the audit and of course this has caused our Recorder not to be able to post books. ' All this work has to be done now and also that, by the first of July we will owe the Recorder one month's vacation. I turned him down for the vacation this month of December; we did not have anybody we could put in here to carry on the work. Also; we will have the sewer service books to put out and the new Business Licenses to put out, so we should hire a part'-time clerk to break in, about two days a week or "work with the Recorder four half days. There would be times when he would most need the party here, to get her to know the ways,and means of collectingmoney, and so forth. I have two applicants, two women, and they are almost identical in experience; both have had general office work. One has worked for National'Biscuit Company (Mrs. Twiss)- handled payroll and so forth, worked very little here in Tigard, a day or two whenever needed. Mrs. Hartig, daughter of E. C. Hunziker, worked for electrical engineers, general office work; Farmer's Insurance for five years, Lumberman's Insurance for five years, general 'office and secretarial work, is 39 years of age; both would have to have brushing,up in their shorthand. Both are willing to work for $1.25 per hour until the first of July, when we renew our.budget. Councilman Cooper: I move that you be given the authorization to hire a part-time clerk and for you to pick out the person you consider will fill the job. Motion seconded'by Council- man Bergmann. Mayor Woodard: I would like to hire her as of the First of February, two days a:week. Upon call for vote, the motion eras unanimously passed by all Council member; present. Mayor Woodard: I think the Recorder will let me know 3. when he is going to take his vacation.`: Mayor Woodard: With reference to the Rules and `Regulations, I think it would be far better for us to take it up and check it over in an Executive Meeting,' rather than an open meeting. 1-13-64 - Page 4. Mayor Woodard: We have a Supplemental Ordinance, which will be number 64-2, please read it. Ordinancenumber 64-2 was then read in full and by title only, being "An ordinance amending Ordinance No.` 62-1,'with respect to Section 12 thereof, prescribing sewer connection charges. " After some review, it was decided Ordinance 64-2 should be `further studied and brought before Council at the meeting of January 27, 1964. Mayor Woodard; I would like to have the engineer give us the cost price from the Methodist Church to the site of Piggly,Wiggly;-the engineer stated it would cost about $150.00 to $200.00 to develop this information; we need it in order to give to the gpople in order to annex. We have more of a chance of getting a fire department in here if we can get more territory into the City of Tigard. We would need only $6000.00/$7000.00 more to get our own fire"depart- ment. (Council agreed to let the Mayor develop the cost,) Cguncilman Klock stated he would like an opportunity to study the proposed,ordinance, 64-3,- regulating the moving of buildings and bring it up at the next meeting.
