''Comm, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The following was received from Mayor Christy: ;' Emergency TO MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL: ;; Employment Ac t Sometime ago a letter was received from Mid-Missouri Regional '+ Planning Commission to the effect that the Department of Labor had allocated two employees to Jefferson City, as set forth in the Emergency Employment Act. The time was so short that we had to reply immediately to be eligible. May I hasten to explain that the majority of the positions under the Emergency Employment Act were allocated to cities of over !` 75,000, and also counties where the total population was over 75,000, and that is the reason we were allocated only two. We immediately completed the form and sent it in, and on September {1 21st were advised that our request had been approved as a tentative recipient of funds . Again the time was of essence, because while the allocation of funds was made for twelve months already the month of September had practically expired, so we were allocated only 10. 8 man months. I II immediately contacted the Police and Fire Departments and asked them to give a brief description of how these men would be used i May I explain that they will not be considered as a part of the l, regular Police or Fire Department as far as quota is concerned. �IHowever, we did have to advise them that when the time expired, if a vacancy existed, we would place them in that position, and if a ! ( vacancy did not occur, then it would be my recommendation to the ' City Council that the Ordinance be amended, raising the strength ofi each Department by one man. On the 10.8 man months employment, the total budget, including l' wages , particip ents ' benefits , and administration, amounts to $13 564.00; the only share that the City will have to bear is $1,357.00. May I strongly recommend that the City Council approve the action of the Emergency Employment Act in allowing us the two employees, and also that no further allocation be made for the $1,357.00 in the Budget, but that this amount be taken from the Contingency Fund I am more than sorry that I cannot be present with you as there may be some questions; however, I think you will find that it is feasible and just as the operation of Jefferson City continues to grow. In conclusion, may I state that while we have sent all the data requested to Mr. Frank Dunn, Division of Employment Security, that ! I do not believe we have obtained from him letters of agreement to culminate this contract. Most of this occurred before I became ill and was taken to the Hospital , however, the part relative to the letters of the Police and Fire Departments were received after the conference with Mr. Dunn and made a part of the funding agreement. Thanking you, I am, �j Sincerely yours, - John G. Christy, Mayor We are mailing this letter in advance of the meeting, as I will not be present at the Council Meeting and it will give you time to study the matter. J.G.C. ouncilman Seaman moved that the request be approved. The motion passed. - I tin Councilman Wildhaber, Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported7- ithat the Committee had approved extra pay, in the amount of $1s500.

Report Councilman Wildhaber moved that the report be approved. The motion passed. Councilman Scrivner, Chairman of the Police Department Committee, presented the following report: ! The Police Committee met at 10: 10 p.m. on September 30, 1971, to 11discuss two items : Police i 1. License revocation for cab driver. Dept. 2. Specifications for police cars . Committee !,All members of the Committee were present - Chairman, Forest Report IIScrivner. N 1. Mr. Scrivner presented a letter from the Police Depart- ilment requesting that the cab driver permit of ,Ibe revoked because of his apparent involvement' in a robbeiy at IiRamada Inn. Following review the group recommended that this permit be revoked. 2. Specifications of Police p Cars - Wells , Borgmeyer and others stated that they believed that the specifications submitted for new police cars were excessive and that they were beyond the needs of the Police Department and incurred an extra cost to the City. The Committee approved that the specifications as Isubmitted be changed to read 350 cc instead of 380 cc engines and that 2 B bl carburetors be specified in place of 4 B bl. Although no action was taken, several expressed the opinion that twin exhaust pipes were not needed and that cheaper body styles would provide a saving to the City since they could be purchased cheaper and a top style car loses its preferred resale status once it is equipped and used as a Police vehicle.
