Both groups would like to do County Court away with any areas where duplication now exists. Mayor Hartsfield stated he had mailed a list itemizing areas which he felt he would like to see discussed; he asked the County Court personnel to examine the list and make any additions or revisions they feel are necessary and return it. He stated that for the Court, County Clerk, their Attorney and • the City's full body to meet and take up the issue would involve about . 17 people which he feels would be too many people to effectively resolve the issues. He asked the Council if they would like to have a committee of part-Staff, part Council; a Council committee, or an all Staff committee. Councilman Hequembourg stated for the first couple of meetings everyone should be there, and for those issues which are not resolved, then break down into smaller committees and take those issues :: from there.

Mr. Porterfield outlined the savings this change would cause. Mayor Hartsfield asked if there would be any objection from the Council to proceeding with the recommended changes. The Council stated that there were no objections, and Mr. Porterfield was instructed to initiate the changes effective immediately.

They recommended to him that we consider omitting the lists of streets which are continuously amended as parking changes occur. He stated that if this '` were omitted, an updated list of these changes could be kept on file in the City Clerk's office for reference. Mr. Porterfield stated that each time one of these changes has to be reprinted it costs app-oximately $25 - $30 per page to print changes in the ordinances. Councilman Roark asked Mr. Porterfield to find out if the bid made by the printing com- pany included making these changes and if omitting the parking changes would result in a lower cost than the price bid.
