from the Council as a special committee of the Council, whose purpose shall
be to utilize whatever means the special committee deems appropriate to seek

of the Town and/or as may be directed from time to time by the Council.
A vote on the above substitute motion was as follows:
Aye: Councilmen Newman;:Robk:and Titus.
Nay: Councilmen Bange, Orr, Ridder and Mayor Hill.
' Discussion on the original motion included the fact that Mr. Devero will be serving
' "at the pleasure of the Council" for this six-month period. There was also discus-
sion as to whether or not a. new Deputy Town Manager should be hired at this time.
It was felt that this could be done at the discretion of the Acting Town Manager -
he would have the power to hire or fire and the money has been appropriated for
the remainder of this fiscal year. However, it seemed to be the opinion of the
Council that this should not be done at this time. A vote on the original motion
was 4 to 3, as shown below:
Aye: Councilmen Bange, Orr, Ridder and Mayor Hill.
Nay: Councilmen Newman, Rock and Titus.
There being no further business, on motion of Councilman Rock, seconded by
Councilman Orr, Council voted unanimously to adjourn this meeting at 8:35 P.M.
