III Mayor Hartsfield then referred to the Report of the Advisory
Commission and inquired about matters and recommendations to be
City discussed. There was no suggestion -- he mentioned the elective
Collector offices of Assessor and Collector, ho thought they could be elimi--
Position nated - but the office of City Treasurer cannot be eliminated,
Abolished according to State Law. With regard to Assessor he had asked the
Municipal League about several questions and also had asked Tom
Rose to prepare a Brief on the matter. z
tj With regard to the office of City Collector, Mayor stated a
three-year contract would probably be signed with the County for
collection of taxes and that left very little work in the 'j
Collector' s Office. The License Inspector is a job of its own and !'
; she is kept busy with that work. The Collector and the Deputy do
''not have enough work to keep them busy at all times. The salary i!
iof the collector is $15 ,600. 00 and he receives four per cent of ally(
(`.delinquent taxes collected. There would be the question of
'collection of taxes from Callaway County, the few taxpayers who are
;residents of Jefferson City in that County, and that is a question
to be resolved. Mr. Stone began working with the City in 1955 and
became Collector in April of 1977. .
Councilman Whitecotton made the motion that the position of
{'City Collector be eliminated at the end of this term - in April of
° 1981. Motion seconded by Councilman Prenger and passed with I
Councilman Borgmeyer voting "no" . !l

: expenditures" be included. Motion seconded by Councilman Prenger.

III motion be amended to use the figure $3,000 instead of $2,000. This ;;
