6. Rustin Report
Mayor Koch said he would like the Town Commissioners to consider having Mr.
Randolph draw an Ordinance setting forth the responsibilities and the
authority of the Town Manager. Mr. Gwynn said he had done preliminary job
description work on that subject as previously directed, and that a new job
description for Town Manager would require either a change in Code or an
amendment to the Town Charter.
Discussion ensued on establishing a new Town Ordinance setting forth said
requirements. On motion duly made and seconded the Commission requested
the Town Attorney prepare a draft of proposed changes incorporating the
specific duties and responsibilities of the Town Manager for discussion at
the next Commission meeting.
On motion duly made and seconded the Commission requested the Town Attorney
determine the method of procedure and of implementing said procedure for the
above named changes in the job description of the Town Manager.

interim Town Manager. On motion duly made and seconded the Commission
appointed Mr. Flannery interim Town Manager until such time as the Commission
decides on a permanent Town Manager.
